Csaba aka felhasznaaloo Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 This one turned out to be a challenge, not because it is a bad kit, just me dropping parts and messing up paintjobs. I even accidentally scratched the top of the dash, and I did not have any left of that shade of paint I mixed for that. So I threw a copy of Car&Driver in... Thanks for looking. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Great looking paint work, like the two-tone colors. I'll have to remember your save on the dashboard. The wide whites compliment the overall look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Always a Toronado fan. Our family owned a 68 and a 71 back in the day. Fun to see your model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the original whitewalls from the kit cracked, while I was trying to 'turn' them with the drill, I ended up using these tires from the AMT '70 Impala Fire Chief kit.

tim boyd Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Csaba....man this is cool. Sign of a true model car .. prevails over adversity and finishes the model project anyway.

Koellefornia Kid Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Great looking build! The magazine on the dashboard is a nice touch up to hide inaccuracies and it adds detail to the interior. Used that solution too some years ago.. .👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
