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.

Wow. You got a great finish on that candy line. Is it from an aerosol can, or did you have to airbrush it on?

This is looking absolutely stunning. A true masterpiece.

That is some serious work going on there. Great job so far.

Stunning work. Very nice indeed.

Very nice indeed. Thanks for the helpful write up about this kit.

Very nice indeed. The GM blue looks perfect to me. The salad package ‘glass’ is a great idea.

Very nice indeed 👌👌

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.

Very nice indeed. Is that the Tamiya kit?

Very nicely done. That’s a great looking 2002

Very nicely done indeed. I love the vinyl top. Can I ask how you textured the vinyl to make it look so good?

Seeing it finished now, just makes me want to get hold of one of these kits even more. Well done. That looks amazing.

Very nice indeed. That colour is perfect, and I like that you didn’t add the carbon to the roof and bonnet - that’s how I will build mine when I get round to it. Nicely photographed too.

That looks GREAT! I love the mod top. Thanks for the detailed description of all the paints used.

Well done. That’s how much time it takes me just to get set up at the bench and find my glasses.

Very nicely built indeed. Winston Wolfe himself would approve.

Great work. Such fantastic detail in a 1:43 scale.

Wow. That’s superb. Fantastic work grafting the roof into place. It looks just right.

That’s flawless. Utterly fantastic. Well done on an amazing build. The gas station pic - I was sure you were going to say that was the 1:1 car that inspired you!

Very nice paint job. Those wire wheels are amazing considering it’s 1/43 scale.

Superb idea, and probably done in the 1:1 world a few times - especially in South Africa. You were lucky to find one of these kits at a sensible price- they are rare now, just like the real XR4i. You’ve made a good start. Looking forward to seeing more.

Amazing work. I can’t stop looking at all the carbon fibre decal work and marveling.

Great work on everything. I particularly like the rear seat. That’s some good scratch building!
