kjohan Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Got hold of an old AMT Prestige kit with some slight damages to the chrome in a couple of spots and the shape of the bonnet is slightly off Exteterior colour is Humbrol sky blue, gloss The BMFI think is unfortunately of the newer variety, had problems to get it to stick plus there are small wrinkles when it is released from the backing, wrinkles which were difficult to get completelt rid of. Interior is the same colour + Humbrol dark blue, matt. Both with Humbrol satin clear on top. Anyway a striking shape Edited July 23, 2022 by kjohan denomination correction 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Very nice build and great looking color for the era. I built one of these also from the Prestige Series and the chrome was faded. Had to get a replacement set of bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The paint color looks great on this, and the chrome trim looks fine in the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kah puts Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I agree with you about being a striking shape, 65 and 66 Pontiacs are nuts! That Humbrol paint looks so rich, awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Very nice build. If you get the chance, check out the latest issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. There is a 65 Pontiac 2+2 that is absolutely stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohan Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Thanks all for your kind comments Concerning the choice of exterior colour, I must admit that I do not think Pontiac during those years, offered something like this kind of solid blue, there were various shades of blue metallics in the programme. But I had an opened little tin, which should be used , and I thought it would still be rather period-correct, so I took advantage of the model builder's liberty... And the content in the tin was JUST sufficient for the needs, now dry and empty. The interior however is rather in line with one of the available alternatives.

As I recall, Pontiac did not offer your color but they should have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
