Everyone’s favorite mid-2000’s airport rental: the 2005 PT Cruiser Convertible in Grandma Gold! I never would have admitted it as a teen when these were new, but I always thought the convertible version of the PT Cruiser looked kinda cool. This is the Revell Snap kit and it goes together nicely with decent detail despite having ~30 parts. Something odd I noticed- the interior door panels don’t match the real car at all. I’m guessing Revell took the 4-door interior mold and modified it for the convertible instead of making a new mold? Anyway this was a fun quick build to break in my new hobby room! Colors used. I’ve had bad luck with Pledge floor gloss cracking when applied over air-brushed Tamiya acrylics, and Krylon’s spray clear being too hot and streaking the paint. So, I tried out Mod-Podge’s acrylic gloss clear spray can on this kit. It turned out pretty good, left a great shine with no polishing. However it was still a little hot when applied over the Tamiya acrylic, so be careful and make sure your first coat is a very light one. It also reacted with the clear headlight lenses and made them hazy so I’d avoid using it on clear parts.

Chrysler PT Cruiser My first model car of the year, in order to warm up my car modeling engine after a few airplanes I decide to hit the stash and start with this snap fast, just to have an easy ride. Not my best paint job, but is something. Tamiya TS-14 black, TS-30 Silver leaf and some more coats of TS-13 clear. for the body. Enjoy and comment!!!
