Very nice... What is that that yellow paint???

nice!

The apple red is a nice replacement for rich deep reds like ferrari and BMW red. The paint is very good but I did use a black primer, so there are several coats on this model.

Finally finished the GT350H... It was a tough build and I ended up buying a second kit just to finish it. I think it's an older molding so I had difficulty with some of the fitment but got it to work eventually. Then the paint nightmare began with the second coat of red turning into a wrinkled mess. Tried to remove it all with oven cleaner... no go. So I bought a second kit and did get it painted quite well with Rustoleum Apple Red. Lucky I did buy that second kit because the decals were a bigger nightmare than the paint... ultra ultra thin and positioned to fit over numerous deep curves and valleys of the body, I ended up using both sheets of decals to get through it. I resorted to cutting the single decal of the hood into 7 separate pieces and then piecing it all back together again. I'm just glad the build is over and does not look to bad. Sorry about the poor pictures. I'm working on improving that.

Real nice...

Revell could tie it in with the Roadkill guys just like they do with Foose. I bet it would be hugely popular. You see a lot of people trying to build a 55 gasser from scratch or combining kits and it just doesn't work. Revell is missing a big opportunity here.

Blasphemi !! We need a real good quality 55 Chevy Gasser kit with flip front and a great custom header display in the wheel wells.

Nice work... I just started this kit today. Not sure what color to do but maybe red. I guess a few of them came that way

There is one large decal for the engine-turned dash, and then separate decals for each gauge. I just kept adjusting them until they fit right and used a setting solution a couple of times. Turned out better than expected. I'm totally new to the hobby... built my last model 55 years ago, but I have noticed on the two I just built that the decal quality is much, much better, although I find it the hardest part to do. Cheers DanL

Can't wait to see that paint!

Nice job. I'm just about to start this one. Still not sure what color to paint. As I understand it they came in a few different colors originally.

Nice trim work...

Thanks for all the nice comments... my skills are improving Cheers DanL

Forgot to show the hood open...

I owned a 701/2 Z28 before the Trans Am. The Z was by far the most exciting but it was set up as Pro Street car... Traction bars, 4.11's, cheater slicks, air shocks and heavily modified 350 LT1 engine that I could never get to idle below 1000 rpm... super fast and super reliable. The Trans Am was mostly stock and really felt more like a stump puller than the Camaro, but was still a sexy car and very rare. Going to build a duplicate of my old Z28 but I have to refine my skills a bit more because it's going to need quite a bit of modifications and aftermarket parts.

Thanks... I think the steering wheel turned out just right but I should have painted the inside ring on the gauges in black. Have to get some proper blue for the scoop

Very nice build... I'm just starting on a 65 chevy SS. Trying to duplicate the one I had as a kid. Mine was red with a blue interior. Great memories! Cheers

Owned one of these in the late 70's. Mine was blue with black interior but I think the white version was nicer. Model turned out well except for the hood scoop color which doesn't match the stripes. Cheers

Looks Great... I just picked up the model and plan to build in Dark green (think Bullitt mustang)... I guess the decals are a real chore to get on. Cheers

Real nice...

Nice work! What number is that great Tamiya blue you panted the body in ? Reminds me of Laguna Seca Blue from the M3.

Had a ride in a real one of these (68 Hemi Dart) when I was 13. I guess it must have left a big impression on me because I really wanted to build this model. Unfortunately I can't spend the 1/4 million dollars to buy an original one. Very cool cars.

Tamiya orange TS-12... took a lot of coats but it really smooths out nicely. I didn't put any clear on it.
