skymnky721 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Happy 2014 all,,hope your staying warm in this crazy weather. Heres what Ive been up to recently,,its the AMT 72' GTO,,a decent kit ,,although it had some "issues" as far as fit+ design,,had to modify a few things to get it together. But it turned out ok,,I used different rims+ tires,but other than that,,with some minor wiring/plumbing thats about all I did to it. Fun kit overall,,have fun and stay warm!
disabled modeler Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Looks pretty cool....man I wish they would put the correct trunk spoiler in the 70 to 72 kits i have three that need the proper one.
skymnky721 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks for the kind words,,@DM,,yea the trunk deck wing looked a bit bizzare for this year,,but it was the only one that I had,,it seemed to fit ok,,so I went with it. @ crazyjim,,that setting is the base for the drag strip diorama I have in the works,,its just a 2 ft shelf pc,,with plastic sheet I got at the CNC shop I work at,,and made the gaurdrail + stuff on it out of leftover parts. You guys build some great stuff also,,stay warm
am73grand Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Very nice build!!! Love the color and the drag strip back round.
skymnky721 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks am73,,I used testors rattle can silvermatallic blue,,hand painted interior ,,I actually got this kit for the X-mas tree that was in the kit,,lol for the strip diorama,,but I thought,,what the hey,,Ill build the GTO while Im at it. Thanks again.
6bblbird Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Your GTO came out very well. I recently built that same kit. I thought that it was absolute junk! I finished it (for a club contest) but it went back in the box, never to be seen again! WF
skymnky721 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks all for the kind words,,its decent build,,did have to use the dremmel on a few things to get it to fit right,,I actually got the kit for the X-mas tree light set that was in it for the upcoming drag strip diorama in the works. Thanks for looking.
