I just finished the Revell 1970 Ford Torino Cobra yesterday. I airbrushed it in Apple Barrel Tuscan Red with a few drops of Apple Barrel Black mixed in to darken the color. I cleared it with Createx UVLS 4050 Gloss Clear, then wet-sanded, polished, and waxed it. I used the wheels and tires from the AMT 1971 Ford Mustang Diamonds Are Forever kit. The interior is just black craft paint with satin clear, and I did add embossing powder for the carpet. Bare Metal Foil was used for the chrome trim on the windows and wheel wells. I did add ignition wires and heater hoses for added detail. This was a pretty nice kit with lots of  detailing decals included, although I  would have loved to have had the GT side decals to choose from as well but that's really nitpicking, lol. Anyways, I really enjoyed building this kit. Thanks for looking!

Great looking Torino , love the color of it.  I'll tell you sometimes it the littlest details that catch an eye - for me it was the upper radiator brackets.  That is impressive for a kit

Most excellent Torino. I built the 69 version. Did you have any trouble getting the windows and the interior to fit?

Mike

Thanks! The windows were a little tricky, especially the back with the angle it's in. The interior fit right in with the body and chassis no problem.

Very nice rendition and clean build.  I always like the look of the base model wheels on these older cars.

The darker body color and not having the extra stripes gives this a sinister look. Great paint finish and the body trim and badging look nice and clean. The engine detailing is very realistic looking and color correct. Like the painted steel wheels.
