Sidney Schwartz Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) An American classic for the 4th. Not a very good kit, but I think I managed to make it look decent. Engine and chassis detail is very lacking, interior is not bad. Rear spoiler is incorrect, as far as I could tell from the pics I looked at. Parts mostly fit pretty well. There's a bit on the end of the chassis that needs to be removed. It's already scored to make that easier, but it's not mentioned in the instructions. The side mirrors don't fit at all as supplied, but that was easy to fix. I also found it much easier to attach the front and rear bumpers after fitting the chassis to the body, rather than before as it shows in the instructions. I gave up on trying to get the hood decal to work and improvised with some paint. Enjoy and thanks for looking. Comments appreciated. Edited July 5, 2023 by Sidney Schwartz 7
Mittagskind Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Fine work. I like this car, is remembering me on an Alfa Romeo Montreal.
happy grumpy Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 You did a superb job on a challenging kit to say the least. Great color and finish.
1972coronet Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Solid work on that RM21 ! One of my favourite kits, too. Keep up the great work !
Sidney Schwartz Posted July 5, 2023 Author Posted July 5, 2023 Thanks all for the nice comments. I forgot to mention the paint, which is something new to me. It's called Colorshot, website is www.mycolorshot.com. I saw the stuff at my local Michaels and decided to try it. I'm really liking it. Excellent coverage...better than other brands I've tried. Dries quite well in an hour or so. Nice variety of colors too. You can also buy the Colorshot paint in bottles, but I haven't tried those yet.
XYHARRY Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 I have one of these on my shelf and also had trouble with the hood decal. Yours looks great in that colour. Well done Sidney. Cheers, David. ??
espo Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Great looking paint color and black trim. You mention the rear deck spoiler not being correct. The spoiler resembles a Camero spoiler and only my opinion, this style looks better than what MoPar went with at the time. Very cleanly built.
karbuildr Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Looks great in yellow with the black interior, very well done.
The Modeling Hermit Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I always loved that kit, and you did a great job on it.
