JTalmage Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Finished this one up yesterday. Super happy with the outcome. Yes it's a car based on their die-cast line.... but, technically it's a screwbottom hahaha. Anyway it goes together really well. I had almost no issues with it at all. Paint is Tamiya Candy Lime Green. Interior is Tamiya Light Sand. Bumpers/wheels/blower/grille/headlight buckets, door mirrors and handles, were all brush painted with Molotow and clearcoated with a waterborne clear which helped retain its shine a bit. I had STS decals design the license plates for it, because that green reminded me of the bright green stereotypical cartoon toxic waste. The rubber on the lower quarter panels came from the 90 Mustang kit. Everything else is built as it was from the box!

Cool Hand Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Excellent clean build, I like it. Good job with all the detailing. Nailed the style perfectly. Its the first custom slammed blown version I have seen built oob, certainly great inspiration for other's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Looks great! Does engine detailing come with the kit, like the wires & plumbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Superior! Beautiful model. GM always encouraged a lot of sharing / loaning / borrowing / influencing among its divisions, but dang if that doesn't look like a Chevelle with a Monte Carlo front clip!
