Outstanding builds, both the older one and the new one. I really like the blue color as well. I've built my share of these older Monogram kits. They don't have tons of detail but the shape looks good and they go together easily.
This is an excellent kit, and as we know, for improved detail, the chassis can be used on other GM mid sized cars from this era. I gave this one a monotone finish, starting with House of Kolor Orion Silver as a basecoat. I then masked off the upper portion of the car and sprayed it House of Kolor Ultra Orange. Finally I masked the body side stripe and the hood scoop and sprayed those two areas with House of Kolor Euro Red, with a clear coat by House of Kolor also. Wheels, tires and disk brakes are Pegasus. Thanks for looking.
Nice build, I have the same kit built but I never did get the bike finished. I was so disappointed when they stopped issuing these Pro Shop kits. The pre-paints are a real time saver.
