I picked this kit up from a fellow modeler back at the IMPS Syracuse Show in October 2019, and I started it in November.  My inspiration for this build was Little GTO by Ronny and the Daytonas, and since I've been on a Muscle Car kick, why not build the muscle car that started it all.  The build is essentially "box stock", with the California license plates coming from the Revell 1941 Chevrolet Pickup kit (they actually say 1965, so close enough).  Thank you to Tbill for providing the blue paint for the engine.  Exterior color is Rustolium Colonial Red over Flat Black.

Thanks, Peter.  It was a pleasurable build as the kit went together quite nicely.  It isn't perfect, but I like it.

Nice job! Excellent detail. I built one of these a long time ago. I've still got a photo, but the nose piece is missing. Monogram was my brand of choice for decades of building.

Thanks, guys.

John, that's a nice looking GTO.  I see you did the hardtop version.  Well done.

I love this Monogram model kit, I've built 2 and have another in the works. I had a silver one I sold, this one is in with my 1/24 diecast collection. You done it justice James, very nice.

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate it.

Gene, that's a nice looking GTO as well.  I like the Wide Ovals & the different wheels.  Gives it a completely different look.  I'd build this kit again if I had the chance.

Great looking GTO. Nicely done body trim. Like you I built one sometime ago as an OOB build. As luck would have it mine was molded in red, and since I was going for the Car & Driver look from their so called comparison to the Ferrari GTO that worked out just fine.  Some careful  sanding and polishing of the body was good enough. I also prefer the post body style. Your interior with the optional sport steering wheel looks very realistic also.

Thanks, David.  That's the steering wheel that came with the kit.  The only thing that isn't from the kit are the California license plates.

Nice GTO! Love the old Monogram 1/24 kits. Built just about all of ‘em as a youngster in the 80’s. Nice work on yours!
