Tamiya spray exterior and interior, AMT Custom & Competition tires, BMF.

This is a very nice kit. Lots of detail and goes together pretty well. I did have fitment issues with the front bumper and valence. Somehow the front fenders spread out a bit at final assembly. I also had issues with the decals as you my notice. They were very sticky which is usually a good thing but made it difficult for me to slide around and get straight. Micro Set made them even more sticky. The hood decal/paint was also a challenge.

I suggest anyone that likes to build get one of these kits.

Thanks for looking.

Very well done build. These cars were very popular back then and so is this kit. I really like it in white with the red interior. Very nicely detailed.

Great looking build Jay!  I know what you mean with the decals, I had the same issue with the Buick GSX.  Those long stripes can be tricky.  I now make sure to brush on extra water and not use the setting solution until I get the decal in place.

Nicely built model Jay.  The black and white paint looks awesome with the red interior.  She's purdy lookin.

Jay....great job putting together this terrific new kit.  FWIW, as you may have read previously, I too had difficulty with the side graphics and hood decals.  Looks to me like you did a fine job overcoming that issue as well.  Big congrats, and also glad to hear you too think this is a kit well worth purchasing if the subject interests the buyer...TIM
