1971 Duster

[tbill]

Guess this is the next victim on the bench out of the bunch I have going, lol. Went with Testors Lime Ice green with a light green interior. This is an older version of the kit ( AMT/Ertl , red box art), and unfortunately, the decals silvered. The side stripes aren’t so bad, but the hood decal looks kinda, no, really crappy, but it’ll have to do. Any who, here’s some pics of where I’m at with it.

Tom I have some Duster kits I bought as chassis donors, if you want to try the hood decal again I can check to see if I have it

Nice color

What color did you use on the seats? Looks great!

I agree with Carl! I really like the interior color! There must be an issue with those decals. I built one years ago and had the same problem. Maybe age? I painted the strobe stripe on the hood and later used the side stripe decal from the MPC '75 Dart.

This is going to look nice. Nice color choices.

I always put a few drops of Elmers white glue in my decal water...

Excellent color choice! The paint looks great too.

Sorry to see what happened to the hood decal Bill. Other than that this one is looking great!! 

[tbill]

Thanks guys.

Tom, thanks for the offer, but at this point, I’m gonna run with it, I cleared it, and the whole decal silvered, so at least it’s uniform looking, lol.

for those that asked, here is a pic of the paint I used for the interior, and a few more progress pics.

thanks for looking in,

Man this is looking great Tom!! You know.....if I didn't know any better I'd swear those are mechanic hands.

Impressive detail! I wish my hands were still steady enough to do that kind of work.
