Revell 1966 Pontiac GTO in Tamiya Titanium Gold.
Dragonhawk1066 replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
Thanks! It's a decal on the kit decal sheet. Just use some decal setting solution to help it conform to the round shape. Thanks! I do not polish my BMF. With the Createx Clear, I put the BMF on after the polishing stage so it only gets rubbed by the q-tip as I'm burnishing it down. For the driving lights I used Tamiya clear orange straight from the bottle and applied it to the inside of the clear part before using Mod Podge to glue it on. Yes, the Createx paints and clears are water-based acrylics. There's a bit of a learning curve to them to get them adjusted to your own airbrush and set-up, but they're great when you get used to them. -

Thanks guys, much appreciated! -
My version of the Revell 1966 Pontiac GTO. The car from the movie Knight and Day was my inspiration for this one. Tamiya X-31 Titanium Gold was thinned and airbrushed on. Createx 4053 High Gloss Clear was wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. Folkart Glam Gold was used for the interior with embossing powder for the carpet. I added spark plug wires, heater hoses, valve stems, and door locks for extra detail. I used Bare Metal Foil for the trim, and a combination of BMF and Molotow Chrome for the interior trim. I did some dry-brushing on the frame to show off some of the molded in details and give it a bit of a driven look. This was an excellent kit to build and I really enjoyed the build process on this one.

Excellent work! This was one of my favorite kits to build, I did mine as a street/strip version. As you said, even with many modifications and aftermarket parts it still pretty much falls together. You're paint and color choice is great, as well as the wheel/tire choice, engine, and stance!

Well done! That is a striking contrast of colors with the interior and body, I can see why you chose it as inspiration! -

Excellent weathering! Well done! -
Very nice! The extra details look great! All of those old Monogram 1/24 scale kits are like that, low parts but great fit and nice molded in details that just beg for extra added details.
