'77 Monte ...Update 04/12

[Badluck 13]

Been in a ~major~ building slump forever n a day and I found this kit dirt cheap and figured it could be a quick kit to do without any real detail,just something to get me rollin' again........comments good,bad,and ugly welcome and yes any advice or ideas welcome.










That's it for now......more to come....hopefully

.....off with the masking tape.....love Tamiya masking tape,the little I have worked with it I have had no "bleed through" yet.

Great paint job! Keep it coming!

[66belair]

Sweet and yes the Tamiya tape works great, I have used it only a few times myself

Very nice work so far. Nice colors, too. The blue vinyl top might be a bit light, but it's about the right shade for the interior. No matter, it'll look great finished.
