Thank you Eric, Chris, Larry and Michael
Thanks David. I agree these aren't always done factory like and for that matter not posted all too often.
Thanks David, Steve and Tom.
Thanks Jeff. With the Landau roof, T-tops or two tone these could be very sharp looking cars.
Built from the current reissue of the 1/25 scale Class Action Monte Carlo, painted in Dupli-Color GM Light Blue Metallic and cleared with Rust-Oleum. The kit offers a landau top that covers the C-pillar but I always preferred these cars with the canopy style landau roof.. I bordered the covered section with a strip of .015x.30 styrene and misted flat white with a light coat of clear satin to create the top. The kit assembled nicely and the only real issue I encountered was a bulged drivers side fender which I remedied by running a couple strips of styrene under each fender and gluing the hood shut. I still built the motor but hung onto nonvisible parts like the air cleaner which I saved in the parts box. While I'll always prefer the two generations of the Monte Carlo that preceded these third generation G-bodies I still think these '78-'80 versions are pretty decent looking cars. IMHO anyway.
Great looking build and a similar looking color to Regatta Blue. I appreciate the detailed analysis of the build process. Haven't bought a 3D printed model yet but eventually will since it's there are a growing number of Colonnades available.
Thank you Eric, Larry and Harry.
