charlie8575 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Defintiely the Revell. Like I said, great build, I just found that one assembly a bit fussy. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Larkin 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 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! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Thanks Dirk, Jeremy and Carl! The extra step of adding foil adhesive is really slowing down the process of assembling this GTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy5963 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Good looking build, I'm going to have to get me one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
