Roadrunner Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 So, while I’m waiting for some much needed supplies to arrive that will allow the continuation (and finishing) of two other projects, I decided to start cracking on this one. I just recently grabbed this at a local model car contest/swap meet, and had been wanting it for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Given that the other two cars are blue, I thought a change was in order. This car will be painted metallic green (Tamiya) as per one of these two versions. I’m not quite sure which one yet, but have plenty of time to figure that out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Top spoon with white stripes and interior would look amazing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 That's going to be a nice kit to build and I'm liking the green on the top spoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I love these cars…and I agree, the darker green would look awesome.😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Either color would look great. The B-4 spoon looks the closest to the factory color, Rally Green, I think it was, but I like the darker shade with the additional metallic myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Thanks, fellas. I'm leaning toward the darker green myself, so that's what I'll go with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 In my opinion, you can't beat the stock 5-spoke wheels on this car, so that's what I'll be going with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Chrome parts are really well done, and I'm very happy to see this. The front grill, after applying some washes, should look great, and I really like that the headlight buckets are chromed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I have this one, as well as the 68 in my stash. I will be watching this one! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Looking good. I have one waiting, so I'll be watching. Top spoon green will look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya Racing White with an over coat of semi-gloss lacquer would look great in that role. I agree that either of those greens would look very sharp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did mine in Basf Lemans Blue I see you didn't go for the wheel well trim on yours. I really don't blame you for that, it's extremely fine detail there. The rest of what you did looks wonderful though. Edited November 7, 2023 by Roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Kevin, MCW does have the correct GM green paint for the 69 SS which then it would have to be airbrushed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bmf didn’t like the polished body, since doesn’t wanted to stick, I don’t put it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
