jdcar32 Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 Another car that would be in my 1:1 collection if daddy was a rich man. Started with the Revell kit, opened doors and trunk, flocked carpet, detailed dash, door cards detailed, O.E.M. style tach, simulated window frames. Frame and floor pan were separated for ease of detailing and painting. Added some wires to engine area, clutch and tranny linkage, brake lines, wire coil springs. Added the MCG photo etch set except for the grill, I opened up the kit grill. Paint is actually Rustoleum 2X that laid down pretty well just requiring some sanding and polish. It's a close match to the O.E.M. Roman Red. 22

espo Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 While this is a great basic kit, you have taken the detailing of everything inside and out to a very high level. Very realistic looking colors used on everything. Lube stickers on the door jams, don't recall seeing that before. 1
