89AKurt Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Now I want to build Nick Mason's GTO. ? Decals......
PowerPlant Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) The latest (2013) issue of Revell’s GTO (car turned to right on boxart) has correct decals for Nick Mason’s car as it appears in the video. The only thing lacking is the front license plate, but that can be obtained from elsewhere or made. Previous Revell issues (car turned to left on boxart) do not include these decals, although the instructions do mention his car (as delivered in 1977 - the car has changed livery since). I have the earlier issue of the GTO, sans decals for this version of the car, and the Italeri Daytona Competizione. I may have to source some decals and build these two beauties. Does anyone make the decals for the Daytona? Edited December 11, 2021 by PowerPlant

I found a source of decals on eBay, out of Spain, so I ordered #22.

SfanGoch Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Italeri 223/654 is a totally different kit. It's a straight Italeri tooling.
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Geez...half my kingdom for a woman who not only isn't terrified of "excessive" speed, but who can wring a machine out all by herself. I didn't know they ever made those... EDIT: well, 'cept for Patty Wagstaff and Danica. Edited December 11, 2021 by Ace-Garageguy 1

Joe Handley Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Funny, I ran across a video from a Brian Johnson (of AC/DC fame) with Nick Mason and this car. Mason even took Johnson for a ride in the car too! 1
89AKurt Posted December 31, 2021 Author Posted December 31, 2021 Got the decals. Now I'm set, just need motivation and time.
