Revell '66 Pontiac GTO 1/24 Scale.

Here is a nice kit to build . 

I usually don't build during summer months  as there's lots to do during the nice weather .

Paint is Tamiya X-34 Metallic Brown and Tamiya Clear Coat .

Very sharp work. Nice color.

Everything was a nice fit with this kit .

Front grille req'd a little extra TLC to set in , nothing drastic .

Thanks Old School ! Guess I should have taken the Tack Cloth along to wipe off the dust b4 photo shoot .

This particular package of BMF gave us some grief as pieces would tear coming off the backing paper and we had a lot of

wrinkles in our final application . This was a first and we'll continue to use their product in the future .

 Maybe it was having BMF stored in the basement , which was my fault .

 Nice decals with this kit .

Some engine detail . We used Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue . Detail Masters dist kit . Did fuel line , it's on the other side.

 I'm going to do some more under the hood details but I wanted to post a couple pics as we have a sunny day here , good for

outdoor pics .

 This would be the 389 Pontiac power plant .

Final verdict : great kit to build , ease of fit-up . Not a lot of clean up with flashing .

Red wall tires set it off . An extra set of Crager rims for custom look , we went with stock rally rims .

Not an original factory colour but lays down quite nice . I had a minor boo-boo near the trunk which was my error .

Straight outta the box for this kit and finished build is very nice indeed .

Thanks !

Great color, nice finish, clean build overall. Well done and model on!

Beautiful looking GTO. Very nice detailing and the color really stands out. In '66 Chevrolet offered a color called Aztec Bronze that looked very much like this. I don't recall ever seeing a GTO that color but that doesn't mean that you couldn't and from your pictures they should have.

nice work 

[kelson]

Looks great in that color!!just a nice build!!

[Hi-Po]

Turned out nice. 

Don't give up on the BMF as I have had sheets to the same thing to me.  I found that the sheets need to be stored at room temp and kept free from any moisture.  Also the age of the sheet can make a difference.  After a couple of years, the adhesive seems to go south and the sheet becomes unusable.  I replace my sheets every two or three years, just to be on the safe side.

Great job, nice color and details!

[rob1957]

Thank You for comments and feedback everyone , we appreciate hearing from you .

 I think we'll keep the BMF upstairs now instead of in the basement where our workbench is . 

 Sometimes in summer months basement can get humid so that might have had an effect on final application.

 I'm always trying to improve on my builds , learn from past mistakes and try new ideas .

 That's what makes the hobby fun and enjoyable .

Well done.

Agree with others that this color is perfect for this car. Gorgeous goat. Well done.

[PappyD340]

Very sharp indeed, well done!

Very nice job Robert on one of my favorite cars.  As for the foil, I have commented on numerous posts about the bad foil as of late. If it's tearing easily tho, it sounds like you are using the thinner Ultra Chrome.

[Tom99]

Looking good.

[carrucha]

Cool GTO.  Nice body color.

[Hmann68]

Beautiful Goat! Love that color also. Put me down as another who’s had a bit of trouble with BMF lately. I swear that they’ve changed it somewhat. Nice job on that build!

That Metallic Brown with the red line tires looks great.  Pretty looking ride.

[AMT68]

Fantastic color combination and your attention to detail is super. 

[Can-Con]

Looks great. Looks kinda orange or rust on my screen but it's a great color for that car.

BTW, that kit's 1/25, not 1/24.
