Tom Daniel Street Vette Box Stock

[69H.O.Firebird]

I built this as a kid back in 1973. This time I think that I did it Justice! Paint is tamiya metallic orange with testors wet look clear from the rattle can. a lite polish with tamiya compounds. Wheels are done with metalizer aluminum, tires were given a flat clear coat.  black parts are semi gloss black.

Great looking paint finish and color. Clean looking body trim.

Disco-sweet!

Very nice, this is one of the few TD kits I like. How much does the chassis of this kit share with the Monogram 78 pace car kits?

I've loved this kit, since it was released. It was only about five years ago that I finally got a very clean built-up, which was the first one I've ever owned. Earlier this year, I got one that's near mint for a great price. I love the color you used! Nice work!

This is one of my all time favorite kits too,  and you absolutely nailed it.   That's just gorgeous.   The paint is really striking.

This kit , and your build...which is great by the way...always brings back one of my fondest memories of all my years modeling.  Found this kit as a "glue bomb" at one of my local hobby shops. Salvaged it and put a nice paint job on it similar to yours. (got a pic somewhere)  When finished I put it on display at another hobby shop. Another modeler was admiring my build and commented he had the kit as a kid but traded it off and wished he had it back.  Well....after some investigating it turns out that it  actually was his  kit he built as a 13yr old.  We still have a good laugh about it 20yrs later.

Found it...paint is a combination of Tamiya clear yellow and red over gold with clear top coat. Black is Tamiya x-18 with some silver added.
