Revell 1968 Firebird

[rastta]

Always loved these cars - especially in this green.  Used MCW Verdoro Green and clear for the exterior, and a blend of Tamiya Champagne Gold and Dark green for the interior - with more green to darken some areas.  This was a nice kit, and had good detail.  I didn't like the all in one nature of the dash woodgrain decal, so I made my own, and had to do the same for the console so they'd match.  Other than that - done as a box stock build.

Nice job! I have this kit in my stash and plan to get to it after my next build, painting it a green color similar to yours.

Looks great.

Beautiful looking showroom style build. As nice as the body and paint are, the interior detailing is what catches my eye the most. This is all very realistic looking and a popular color combination at the time.

Nice, remember seeing this color on Firebirds cruising around, your interior is especially well done.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!  Been gone on vacation and just opened on the site.
