John Goschke Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Very pretty! Clean job assembling and finishing this venerable kit. Nice detail painting, too! I've been fortunate to have owned two '66 Wildcats and can attest that they are fabulous cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though basic it is a fun build. They were great looking cars but I rarely see them at car shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Very nice colour on a stunning looking build. I built one not long ago and it's a great looking car for the shelf. Nice work, I like the white interior too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built a few of these and enjoy these simpler promo style kits especially after a more involved build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thank you Bob. I think the '66 is the best looking of all the 1960's full size Buicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used embossing powder for the carpets and brushed Pledge Revive It on the seats. There was a good deal of orange peel in the clear which required over two hours of wet sanding. I managed to remove the majority of it with just a slight burn through on the top of front fender that's only noticeable from a certain angle. A simple kit with a not so simple finishing process....lol. The burn through is an easy fix. Spray some of the TS-39 into a cap or a jar. Then take a small brush and cover the burned through area. The color will blend very well . I've done this on an AMT Mitsubishi with this very color and I know where the repairs are but anyone who didn't know would have to look very closely to see them.

Well thanks for the tip I'll give it a shot. And it really wouldn't be noticeable especially with all of the bright foil on the sides of this one.
