`64 GTO street machine

[alfa_owner]

Currently working through a few projects, but due to the lousy cold weather in the UK I cant spray anything, so working on some older part built projects.

This is the 1:24 Monogram `64 GTO kit, sprayed with Dupli colour rattle can, a ford UK metallic purple and dupli clear. Taken indoors at night so lighting not the best.

Needs the hood and nose cone section sprayed (fat chance for the next few months then ) and couple of small parts fitting. Still novice with the BMF, and the side window trim caused me grief so ended up using silver paint along with bmf.

Thanks for the comments everyone, these monogram kits are superb to work with, Im guessing the reissues in revell boxes are the same old toolings too.

When I was a kid I imagined everything street etc in the states had a nose down stance due to my matchbox toy cars, and its stuck with me all these years

Hey Rob very nice, of all the colours to choose we both go for a met purple, I wondered what the decals would look like, now I know, they work well. See you cut the rear 3/4 window sides out, i didnt have the nerve to try it, and what wheels have you gone with?

Looks great! I've always liked that old GTO kit from Monogram........that, and the '70 GTX they released years ago. Nice 1/24 scale kits.

Glad you liked it. I didn't care for the kit supplied tires/wheels so I grabbed some from the parts bins. I don't recall where they came from. But I did dechome them and use an aluminum satin paint so that they aren't so eye grabbing. The decals are really good quality and look great on the purple. The 3/4 windows are easy to remove just use the back side of a #11 razor blade and slowly remove material until they come off clean. Then just sand it smooth.

Congrats on a great looking model.

Lee, great job on that GTO......and at least you finished yours!

I tried (and failed) to build a superdetailed GTO years ago, but never could get it the way I wanted it.

Since then the windows have warped badly, so now I'm contemplating taking the whole thing apart and redoing it.

The weather has improved today, so was able to get a coat of pruple on the hood and nose cone. Once its clear coated the kit is pretty much done.

Mike, Ive got the gtx you mention, maybe worth digging that out soon then.
