Revell '66 Goat

[Ron57]

Hello all,  I am new here having just joined last week.  Here is my first build thread to be posted here. Revell's 1966 GTO.  It's a great kit.

I am keeping it simple by focusing on paint. I am not adding any wiring to this build just to keep it simple.

The body is done with Tamiya Primer then Tamiya Dark Metallic blue then gloss coated with Testers gloss lacquer (my fav).  All rattle can rather than airbrush.  I still need to give it a polish but I lucked out with no dust.

Cheers

I've ordered some chrome paint pens for this build. I've never used them before but I'm hoping they work better than foil.

 

We shall see......

I like to use molotow chrome pens, kinda scared of foil haha.. that color looks great, Im always looking for 60s 70s style rattle can colors

Looks really good so far.  I like the colors on the engine.  What color is that on the carbs.

[Ron57]

Thanks all, 

The Carbs are Tamiya X-12 Gold leaf over silver. It's sort of a transparent paint and works well for carbs and brake boosters etc.

Looks excellent, Ron. Will you be foiling this baby? Foiling is my worst nightmare, as I'm really no good at it;... too much coffeine, probably.

Looks fantastic!

Paint look awesome, right now pens are the way to go, what with the junk BMF thats out there.

That's a very deep dark Blue color, I don't think you're going to need much polishing at all.

That paint is beautiful.

[Ron57]

Thanks for the kind words all.  I have never used the pens, I am looking forward to giving them a go.

Good looking Goat! I love Tamiya Sprays, they're almost like using an airbrush.

That's a beautiful build Ron. The paint is beautiful. Tamiya Sprays are perfect for car bodies. They lay down very smooth and they are very forgiving. Their color choices keep growing.

Your build does this kit justice.

Missed that one, very nice looking Goat Ron?

[bisc63]

I really love that color, and the whole build looks very clean and well done. Nice job!

[tbill]

Well done, looks beautiful.

[Zippi]

It's a looker Ron.  Nice job.

Was the detailing done with a molotow chrome pen?  What's your impression with how well that worked?  I'm asking as I struggle with BMF.

Beautiful paint and interior! Assembly work looks great too.
