This is the new Revell GTO. I had gotten one of the older kits in the early 2000's, but botched the paint job. Ever since I have wanted a new kit. The body in the new kit is pretty nice........and that's all I have nice to say about the kit. I don't remember the old kit being this bad. I thought I was building an AMT kit. The interior is just a tub with not a lot of detail. The chassis has some detail, but the suspension is not that detailed; and the engine bay? It may as well not even have had one. The fire wall has no detail, the engine has little detail, and the rest of the bay is pretty open. The fit of the front and rear is also bad. I had to trim the chassis to get the front on, and the trunk hangs over the top tail lights. I also don't understand why they would have you paint the marker lights in front. Make a recess there and have a plated piece fit in there that can be translucent painted. Over all though, the kit didn't come out looking too bad.

So I recieved this kit in a 6 car deal. Just did inventory and all parts are here. Problem is he painted the hood, body, and bumper yellow. He had a mix of enemal and acrylic paint. How do I go about sanding this down without hurting the parts? I would just prime over it, but some parts are bubbled and has runs in the paint job. Any help would be great.

Hey this was my first model i had ever built. I built it about 5 years ago when i was 11. I ran out of the purpleish maroonish color and painted the hood and front bumper blue. It sat like that for about a year or two until i found the purple paint again and finished the paint job. These pics dont show it but after it sat for another 6 months or so and i decided, "It can't get any worse.". So i decided to be stupid and try to lower it! lol it didnt work very well and the wheels are cambered out because i didnt take into affect that the body will hit the tire and slant them. Soo it looks real bad not but ill try and go rebuild it one day. Hopefully i post these pics correctly, I havent been on here for a while. Nothin to write home about, (Still a few things left to re-glue.) but i figured id share my first model with you guys! Mike Still a few things left to re-glue.
