Shame you have to re-paint this. It looked okay in the pictures.
I am part way through the initial build of my GT. The close fit of all the body panels lead me to think it would be a good idea to mask off all the glued contact surfaces before painting. I think the paint film thickness in these areas might upset the fit. Especially the fit of the rear quarter panel to the roof.
That is just about the best ‘66 Galaxie I’ve ever seen! I would never have imagined the old tool AMT kit could be made to look this good. Well done on an outstanding job.
please can I ask about the door handles and the windscreen wipers. Are they aftermarket parts?
Absolutely stunning build. It’s such a beautiful car, and you’ve given justice to this great kit. The metallic green is the perfect complement to an Aston Martin.
It’s about time Tamiya re-released this one.
