Great looking build of a beautiful subject. And the paint is just so unique. Interesting tip on foiling the tail light section and one I'll remember as I get set to start on this kit later this spring. I have to ask. What was used on the backup lights as they look very good and I never quite know what to do with them.

Thank you Eric, Chris, Larry, Tom, Lee, and Jeremy. It's one of my favorite kits along with the Monogram '70 Mustang. Thank you David, Mike, Anton, and Trevor. I'm mostly satisfied but looking at the pictures I notice the passenger side marker light needed to be better. Mike,,,,I installed the lenses prior to removing the headlight buckets from the sprues. Just made it easier to line them up correctly. I do recall trimming the openings in the body slightly so the buckets would sit flush. The grill/bumper section installed well enough but I did have to keep the drivers side from drooping down until the glue set. So in hindsight I should've said few fitment issues. Hope that helps.

This was built from an early 2000's reissue of what was originally the Monogram Malibu SS454 in 1/24 scale. Painted in Dupli-Color GM Bahama Blue and cleared with Rust-Oleum Lacquer (green label can with high chair). I trimmed off the glass in the rear quarter window area since I prefer the look of the windows being rolled down. Despite it's inaccuracies I really like this model and it assembled with virtually no fitment issues.

Top notch work and awesome color combination.

The engine compartment shot was a great choice since it is one example of the high level of accurate detail that exists throughout his builds. -
Very pretty build and rare to see a custom version of this model. Amazing such a nice paint job was done with 40 year old paint.
-
You really knocked it out of the park with this beautiful build. Looks like it was a time consuming build. And it shines very nicely with the Rusto clear.
-
Wow, that's impressive work.
-
Extremely impressive save and a very striking color combination.
-
Great looking paint finish. I'll always prefer coupes but I've been tempted to buy this one since it is an attractive hardtop sedan. I'd possibly do a vinyl top.
-
Very impressively clean build and great work on the long trim lines. Wasn't aware of the fitment issues with this one but that wouldn't deter me from buying one since it appears to build up nicely.
-
Well your system produced a stunningly beautiful paint finish. I like the red on red.
-
Great well detailed save. Rare to see an MPC '69 GTO.
-
Great job foiling the top of the wide rocker trim. I did this model from an older release last fall and that line that separates the trim from the painted section is not the easiest to follow.

My 16th Annual 24-hour builds A pair of 69 Pontiac Bonneville
AMT68 replied to RDean58's topic in Model Cars
Those are two beautiful builds and both in very striking color combinations. Forgive me for being envious. The full size '69 Pontiac has always been a favorite of mine and the scale kit has always been one that I've long coveted. -
Paint finish and color look fabulous as does the all of the foiling work on the long trim lines.
-
That turned out great and I like what you did altering the Titanium Gold. Another kit I have but haven't gotten to building.
-
That's a very nice clean build and I like the understated paint scheme. Eventually I'll have to get one of these for my collection.

Thanks Steve and it would be great to see your build. I like your avatar of the '74 Nova. Thank you David.
-
Thanks Curtis. Fortunately I picked up four of these before the prices went sky high in the past year or so. I've seen the conversions with the 3D parts and they look very good.
-
Thanks Carl, David, Trevor and Larry. It's an old kit that I still enjoy building.
-
I appreciate that Josh, I definitely spent alot of time with it trying to get it right.
-
Beautiful looking paint and great work with the engine mods. And I hear you on making a dent in the stash.

Thanks Gary, eventually I'll get another can of this TS-92. Thanks Keith and thanks for posting your build. I wouldn't change a thing. While I didn't feel the need to foil the perimeter of the vinyl top I still think it looks good.
