Thanks Al! To your question: "strange things, strange things" I suppose... CT

Thanks David! The paint gave me major problems, all of my fault. 10 days before the pics, the finish looked like a dry raisin. I needed all my resolve to "save" it instead of just stripping it and starting again. I'd say it's a 7.5 out of 10. Oh well... CT

Thanks Ulf! Yes, those JOHAN kits! I hesitated to strip and mold the bumpers in a mono-chrome manner, but sanity prevailed: after all, it was the 70's, and chrome was still a feature of luxury cars! CT

Thanks Robert! Same here. One of my neighbours had a 1970 when it came out. For a teenager, that car made a strong impression, as the 67 Eldo did. I guess my subconscious was at work here... CT

Thanks Oliver! Some fellow modelers at show notice that I mostly use LIGHT colors for my interiors. It's true (and predictable, sorry!) but a closed car with a DARK interior hides so many details that I did it only once, and had my lesson! LOL. CT
