randyc Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Like others have said, looks good on screen. wheels look good on that car as well.
Dominik Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 like it a lot! now i'm thinking about starting my own kit.
TransAmMike Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 I guess i'm impressed with how straight you got the stripes, good job for sure. Thats why I asked if they were decals thinking maybe it was tape.
Mr mopar Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Seeing it Silver and Black make me want to buy one ............ Thx LOL !
Quiet Eric Posted November 16, 2020 Author Posted November 16, 2020 Here’s a pretty good shot of what the paint looks like. The roof is the worst but it’s kinda all over. I think the next you see this one will be under glass
charlie8575 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Came out very nicely. When I've been hitting paint problems of late, I find myself putting "antique" plates on my car and say it's modeled as a preserved original. Charlie Larkin
carl63_99 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Build for yourself, build to enjoy. And remember, those guys showing off their super-perfect builds, they ain't showing their marginal stuff or their fails.
mrm Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I love it. Really clean build and the colors work very well. It definitely needs the black trim around the windows tho.
Quiet Eric Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 This junk is done. Didn't put too much effort into detail painting or any into chassis weathering. Will take and post some more "flatering" finished pictures soon. Really pleased with everything except of course the paint. Not a bad kit.
1930fordpickup Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Looks ok from here Eric. I like you color and wheels choice. To bad the clear didn't work as well.
Mattilacken Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Looks cool! Wheels really suits it well! Didn’t GM have paint problems in the ‘80’s? ? good work, sucks about the clear but BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH happens. Hahah!! Could not resist to edit and put in a laugh since my comment got censored ?

Haha, yeah that is going to be my excuse...it's an accurate representation after 1984 GM paint after just a couple years!
the other Mike S. Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 I remember looking at those things when they were brand new on the dealer lot and the silver paint was dull even then. So, within a few years, I could see it looking exactly like the paint on the model. Very realistic!
mrm Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 The BMF trim was a game changer on this model. I really like it. Silver in general is tricky to make look "wet". It just absorbs light and hides reflections. I think the model came out great.
