Adios Mother

[gtx6970]

I've had this on the bench for nearly a year sitting in primer.  Its one of those kits I built as a kid . And when it got re-issued a few years ago I snapped a few of them up for old times sake.

With the nice weather around here this week it seemed like a good time to get it in color. Paint is the same as on my daughters 04 Neon, called Solar Yellow. In bright sunlight it has a a very small amount of a pearl look to it. And I thought it would fit the bill quite nicely. This will be a quick fall build to relieve my yuth ( lets see who gets that )

 

Thanks for looking

Love this kit. Even everything that is wrong. Built is several times in my youth. And now I have a nice one to display. Can't wait to see this one finished.

I also have one to build too... always LOVED this car. The TD kits really appealed to me when I was young.. and still do.

Never would have guessed that was a Neon color but it does look great on your Chevy..

Yep, on her car out in the sun its a very in your face bold yellow. And its not a real common color on the 1/1's . Unfortunately  It just doesn't have quite the same effect indoors and on a model car. But I had it here so I decided to use it . (i'm looking for one of the old Neon promos to repaint for her to put on her shelf )

 

This is going to be a quickie  all box stock to get me back in the saddle so to speak . I might try to get the interior painted today ( gonna be black and yellow )
