XYHARRY Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 (edited) G'day all, just finished today is my triple black Revell '69 Pontiac GTO "The Judge" RamAir IV. Colour is Tamiya ts14 gloss black, ts6 matt black for the vinyl top and ts29 semi gloss black for the interior. This kit went together with not too many problems except for a slightly warped hood which was easily fixed with hot water. The vinyl roof is my first attempt and turned out OK, although it needed another centre section over the top, which I forgot. The chrome trim was done with Evergreen half round strips. If I was ordering a GTO in 1969 this is what it would be. I'm not sure if there were any ever built in this configuration but I imagine if there were it would be quite valuable today. Thanks everyone for looking and as always your comments are welcomed and appreciated. Cheers, David. ?? Here are some interior shots before final assembly.

STU111 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 G’day David. Triple black is the holy grail of colour combos in classic muscle cars, and if there is a 69 Pontiac GTO out there in this combination, it would look awesome, because your excellent build certainly does. ?? Well done and thanks for sharing this one. 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Pretty sweet! I love the triple black color scheme. 1
Falcon Ranchero Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 That's really nice; I built the same kit but did the regular Carosel Red GTO, but I feel I could've done a less traditional one that would have been just as cool, which yours totally is. Especially with the vinyl top ? 1

mrm Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 I've never seen this box art before. The model looks great in all black.
Brudda Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 Great job. As soon as I saw “triple black! “ that was enough but with a GTO it moves into greatness. 1

Thanks Mozzi, it's the current Revell release and has all four stripe colours in the decal sheet so that any colour combo can be used when building 'The Judge' option. 2

Bills72sj Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Very nice Judge. I agree, Triple Black Pontiacs are awesome. I currently own one. (1972 Grand Prix, my 3rd).
