ModelcarJR Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 This new Revell kit is painted with Tamiya Light Blue as a substitute for Grabber Blue. I think it is very close. The interior is black, flatted out gunmetal with silver and wood trim. I painted all the black areas with black primer and buffed it out so that it would shine a bit. I added the pinstripes from the decal sheet that I cut away from the larger decal. That way I didn't have to try to blend a decal with black paint which would leave a seam. I think it turned out well. I added plug wires, heater hoses and a fuel line to the engine. The only issue I had was gluing in the rear rocker panel under the taillight panel. I had to cut away the top of the license plate surround on the rocker panel in order to get a flush mount onto the rear taillight panel. I would suggest completing the rear of the car once the body is mounted instead of the front of the car as indicated in the instructions. That will save pulling the front grill, chin spoiler and bumper to reattach the taillight panel, if necessary as it was in my case. Overall, its is a nice kit. I used most of the decal and they went on very smoothly. The engine and chassis are very well done and went together better than most. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a happy Memorial Day! 😎 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
