REVELL 68 FIREBIRD.

[happy grumpy]

Built 8 years ago , I always liked the 68 better than the 69. Really nice kit I don't remember having any big issues with it. The body is Tamiya blue metallic coated with Krylon clear. After a few years, the clear started to dull. So now I only use either TS13 or Mr. hobby super gloss. It seems to work fine for me. Not my best work but looks fine on the shelve. Having an enclosed glass cabinet helps to preserve the finish.

Now on to the Revell boss 351. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. The chrome trim looks great. I agree with you on the '68 year model being better looking. Pontiac designers had to do something about the 5 mph bumpers, I would think they could have come up with something better looking than what they used. I also built one of these a couple of years ago, really nice kit.

Another real nice one by you Mario, looks great in that color?

It seems the paint still shines nicely Mario and the the blue metallic with the black interior was a nice choice for this Firebird. While I'm actually okay with the styling of either the '68 or '69 I'm definitely looking forward to the reissue of this kit next  year.  I've always heard positive reviews.
