1966 Buick Wildcat - AMT

[Ron57]

I started this earlier in the week.  Its a very basic old school AMT kit.  I'm going with Silver on Crimson.

It'll look very nice in that color combination. I've built a couple of these and always enjoy building this basic promo style kit.

Nice silver there Ron, whats the paint?

[slusher]

Really nice color choices..

It may be a basic kit but it's a great body style !  Looking forward to more .

That's going to look great.

Thanks all

 

The paint is Tamiya lacquer TS-17 gloss aluminum then cleared.

Looking good. I love the '66 Wildcat kit. It's basic but it's such a good looking car and lots of fun to build. I'm liking the colour choice, she gonna shine.

Good choice of color. 

[Ron57]

Thanks,

Note to self, for someone who struggles with foil I should pick my subjects a little wiser.  Man there is a lot of chrome on a 66' Wildcat but so far so good.  I have all the windows done and will do the body sides next.

An interesting observation, the chrome molding on the rear quarters has an up turn to the bumper. The real one does not have this.  It's straight.

Actually my bad,  its a body line.

That is looking really sharp.  Nice foil work.

The trim on the kit is a bit off.  IF this pic dosen't show up, I'm including a link to a '66 for sale with a lot of detail pics. 

Looks good so far though. The paint looks super, silver's a tough color to get nice.

And a bit of sporty red in that trim. Although this may be a GS?

[Ron57]

Well I have all the foiling done. I did not do the wheel well chrome trim.  There is no mold line for a cutting guild and I don't want to mess the body up as it's turning out to be my best effort with foil so far.

Paint is looking really nice, and nice foil work too. Gonna look stunning with that red interior.
