Pontiac Bonneville Convertible 1970 in "Aqua Mist Metallic"
Tommy124 replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Thanks Dom ? -
Hi there, I'm so glad that this kit is "over"... I guess most of you know what a PITA this is, so I won't say that much. Just that I tried to correct the beltline and the front bumper to make it look a little bit like a 1969 one. A little bit of detail has been added to the seats which don't look the part at all. Really disappointed with Round 2's role in this re-release. If I am not mistaken, all they added to the old kit is the decal sheet (which is very poorly printed by the way, see the tail stripes on my model). Well... let's at least say I don't recommend this kit... ?

Thanks guys! @Anton: same here, especially those Revell snappers (most of them) can be turned into beauties. Here are some others that I did: -

Many thanks guys! -
Very nice. How did you do the ripple finish on the engine?
-
Hi Anders, another beauty from your hands! Great skills and I believe these brand-new Revell kits aren't that bad either, right? ?
-
Excellent build! And I agree with others, probably the best of this kit I have seen so far. The only (small) thing that keeps me from saying this is perfect, is the left stripe on the hood, which is not identical to the right one (in terms of width and symmetrical position).

Hi Ludwig, a great model as usual from you! Nice choice of color and top details work all around!

Revell Fast and Furious Dom's 1970 Charger.

Cool model, great paint job and detailing! -
Very nice build of this special car with one one of the best-sounding engines, Bruce! Another fact around this car is that Toyota's most experienced test driver Hiromu Naruse died in an LFA Nürburgring Edition close to the track in 2011. https://www.motortrend.com/news/lexus-lfa-test-driver-killed-in-crash-in-germany-9096/

Thanks a lot guys, I'm glad you like this land yacht! Thanks John. No magic in making these photos in sunny daylight, using my iPhone camera and a photo box (made of printouts). ? Yes Steve, that's it. It was called code 34 for Buick, but the color was available for mostly all GM brands. GM color code is WA3977. -

Basically looks pretty good! But you‘re right about the headlights, it‘s the #1 PITA about this (actually quitegood) kit. When I did mine, I looked on the internet for some tinted real car headlights which I scaled down and printed out on regular paper. Not as perfect as real headlights, but an acceptable compromise.

Thanks guys! @Kurt: yes, most of them Hasegawa Delta kits are rally versions. I have the "Super Delta" in Martini livery yet to do myself.
