'64 GTO

[KWT]

Revell release of the Monogram '64 GTO

Paint is Tamiya Metallic Gray covered in Tamiya Clear Blue and topped off with Tamiya Clear

 

Only issue is getting the grill/bumper to set while the glue dries. But straight up, it's a nice kit. I will probably grab another one sometime down the road.

As always, thanks for looking...

On the next... hopefully...

Just for S&G, i decided to practice my photo taking. Used the macro lens for the first time ever.

Great looking G.T.O.  Very well done.  I like the Clear Blue over the grey.

Great Goat! I built that kit decades ago. The exhaust splitters always look sharp on those cars.

Looks great.

Looks good!??

Looks good.  I'd like to get another at some point.  I screwed up a little bit on my first one.

As I mentioned in your WIP, the paint work on this looks great. Nice to see this done in a showroom style as they were long ago.

I don't have the whole original issue Monogram GTO kit anymore. But - I still have the engine somewhere in my stash. I tried to make the Tri Power fuel lines from scratch. I drew pen and ink diagrams from magazine pictures. It turned out to be kind of a mess! In 1964 we didn't have anything to buy to do a good job of replication. You were pretty much on your own.

I remember that the original issue Monogram GTO in 1/24 seemed huge. It's almost like a 1/20 kit.

Really nice.

Nice looking GTO Jeremy. That colour is tasty on it! She looks like she just rolled off the dealership showroom. The macro lens experiment turned out good too. I just got a new phone, haven’t played with the camera yet…

Cheers, Steve

[Rattlecan Dan]

Very nice job! Great natural and realistic look.

Sharp looking build, been some time since I've seen one built.  I gotta remember transparent blue over metallic grey as I love how that looks, and it suits very well on the GTO.

[KWT]

Thanks Tony. Definitely give it a go.

Super nice GTO, color really pops, well done!

[KWT]

Thanks Larry!
