DanL Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Really nice freshly tooled kit with lots of fine detail. Some small issues particularly with the directions, such as showing the valve covers mounting upside down and some unclear mounting spots. The hood with hinges mounted is also very finicky. But all in all a pleasure to build. I obviously used a non-factory color but it turned out well with the white stripes. This was my second attempt at using bare metal foil and it turned out 100% better so I'll keep using it. Remember to wash all your parts before painting ... I ran into some issues with grease or oil left on the sprues. Highly recommended kit 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYHARRY Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Very clean build and true to showroom stock except for that purple, which if offered would have been popular as it looks really good here. Well done Dan Cheers, David. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Great looking color and GM should have offered something like that. The decals and body finish look great. the engine detailing is cleanly done. Like the way the wheels and tires are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
