KWT Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Continuing on with my Monogram era run Paint is Tamiya Metallic Orange over Mr Hobby Black Surfacer. It gave the orange darker look.. and Tamiya matte black for the mid section of the hood. I never got around to building this one back in the day. And for whatever reason I've tried since getting back into the hobby, I start one only to have it go sideways. I finally finished one.. have to say this was a nicely designed kit. As always, thanks for looking.... on to the next... Edited July 26, 2023 by KWT 11

ncbuckeye67 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 That orange looks amazing! Especially over the black. I may have to try that in the future. I have always loved this Buick (need to build one of mine, Lol). 1

I know we all know the base affects the outcome, but it amazed me just how different the orange looked from grey to black primer. 1

It now has more of a Dark Copper look to it. 1
espo Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Beautiful color, one of my favorites, and finish. The GSX graphics look good. These cars were often underestimated when it came to drag racing. 1
happy grumpy Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Great looking Buick and I really love that color. 1
karbuildr Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 I really like that color, very well done. I completely agree this is a very nicely designed kit. 1
Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Looks great and I love the color! I love seeing these in other colors than the yellow and white that they were made in. I did mine in Tamiya TS-42 Light Gunmetal. Edited July 27, 2023 by Dragonhawk1066 1

I've seen yours several times and was actually gonna go with that. It just so happens, I didn't have any but had a brand spanking new can of Metallic Orange. I really like that color.

Rattlecan Dan Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Pretty unique, and very sharp looking. Nice job.
