Defintiely the Revell. Like I said, great build, I just found that one assembly a bit fussy.

Fussy is a better word for that assembly!  I had a little trouble, but what I wouldn't it call trouble.  Fussy is the better word!  I had to use tweezers for mine and lining them up into their proper locations took a little time.  Fussy.

I worked on the GTO interior and it is complete!  Then I repainted the body with several coats of Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold and it came out very well!

Great interior. Love that gold

[mrmike]

Thank you Steve!  The interior and the body repaint went together better than I expected.

Very nice

Thanks David!  I'm really happy with the repaint!

I was thinking about the missing decal sheet for this GTO and I remembered a set of floor mats on the sheet.  I have a Revell '66 GTO kit that has the decal sheet in it and I made a copy of the decal sheet on paper and then I cut them out and inserted them into the interior.  Looks good!

As a big '66 GTO fan you are killing it here. Those mats are a great touch. ?

I have the MPC ‘67, but I hear it’s not a great kit. Yours is looking real nice Mike!? Nice touch with the factory floor mats.?

Nice touch on the mats, Mike!

Thanks Carl!

I got the '66 GTO partially foiled.  I'll finish it later.

The floor mats are a nice touch

[KWT]

Definitely looking good

[slusher]

Very clean work Mike, nice progress!

[mrmike]

Thanks Dirk, Jeremy and Carl!

The extra step of adding foil adhesive is really slowing down the process of assembling this GTO.

That’s going to be one good looking goat!  I really like the gold you chose.

 I have an older issue of this kit with the light metallic blue car on the box.  It’s nearly finished but I shelved it about 15ish years ago for reasons I don’t remember now.  Iirc, all it needed was foiled and final assembly.  Might have to dig it out and look at it again.  I did mine in all black.

Thanks Jeremy!

Good looking build, I'm going to have to get me one of these!  

[mrmike]

Thanks Paul!  The body is straight and smooth and the parts have very little to no flash on them.  Be sure to get the Revell kit!

I have been working on the '66 GTO off and on for a while now and the foiling is finally done.  Not sure if I'm burnt out or what, but it is taking me longer to finish a model car.  Foiling is done and now it is on to clearcoat and then final assembly.
