Porscheman Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I forgot to take pictures of this one when I got it a week ago, but I can say this wasn't a real bad one. It was painted all gold. I always liked these in a rich maroon, so I painted it in Dupli-color Dark Toreador Red with matching interior. I applied 4 coats of Testors Wet Look Clear to the body and polished it out with The Treatment model wax. The windows were tinted with 3 light coats of Tamiya's Clear Blue. The tires are Firestone's 60's WW from AMT's parts pack. I always liked the look of the hardtops and these are a little rarer to find in model form. Let me know what you think. Thank, Al Edited June 12, 2015 by Porscheman
Ron Hamilton Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I really like that one. I built a '63 years ago that looks similar. I drove a beige one in high school. Other than the atrocious gas mileage, it was not a bad car.
ChrisBcritter Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Cherry in color and quality! How was the fit of the new AMT tires on the old AMT wheels?
Porscheman Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Cherry in color and quality! How was the fit of the new AMT tires on the old AMT wheels? Thank you Chris. The tires fit like they came in the kit. I've used the AMT's RWL tires on Johan, Revell and MPC's with no problem. Al

Belugawrx Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Oh ya Nice job Al! Nice paint and finish ! I've got to finish mine now. Cheers
Porscheman Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 Wow, Thank you everyone. I have a real soft spot for this color. Everytime I use it, I get the same high gloss finish. Al
peekay Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Beautiful model and perfect colour choice. I prefer the older kits and promos to the newer AMT roadster kit.
