YBlock292 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Just finished this kit after a long period of time. Chrome plated parts were very poor in the kit - looked like matt aluminum - had to be rechromed. I used Molotows Liquid Chrome which worked excellent.
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Looks like nice work! It's just too bad that Trumpeter did such a bad job on the roof & deck lid proportions of this kit. I have one of the hardtops, but if I ever build it, the top is coming off. Even more likely, I'll just build the old AMT annual. Nice job though! Steve
YBlock292 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Posted May 13, 2018 Thank You Steve, Yes, I know that the proportions of the kit are not correct, but I build it straight out of the box, with a lot of parts and details ... at least one positive thing on this kit. Regards Ludwig

Regards Ludwig I agree, it's a nicely detailed kit. I think that the convertible version may look a little more accurate. I appreciate the fact that you built it anyway. Steve

BigTallDad Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Excellent job wiring and plumbing that engine compartment!
Anglia105E Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 You have done a really good job on this Pontiac build Ludwig and I am impressed witht the fine detail, especially inside the engine bay and interior of the car. I like the colour that you have used for the paint finish on the bodywork, what is that colour called? Looks very '50's...... Molotow Liquid Chrome is the best by far. David
geetee66 Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Nice detail work and the colour combo works well. Looks authentic. I'm no expert in these cars, but I reckon an Elkie style custom would really suit it ?
drodg Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Looks beautiful and I really like the paint combo. Great job on a tough kit.
bill lanfear Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Excellent work done on this! Colors and details are spot on!
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Very nice! Did you use the Molotow pen or shoot it through an air brush?
YBlock292 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Posted May 15, 2018 @ David (Anglia105E): The Color I used for the Body is Tamiya Titanium Silver (TS-68). @ Jay (Perspective Customs): I used a Molotow 1mm and a 4 mm pen for smaller parts. The bumpers where rechromed with a brush using liquid Chrome out of the refill "tank". I did not have to use an air-brush to apply, as You can see the bumpers came out very well.
PARTSMARTY Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Absolutely beautiful-i love the color combo-interior is spot on !!!
