Here's my Revell 1969 GTO Judge, my first GTO build in a long time. Painted in Tamiya X-6 Orange with some Tamiya X-7 mixed in, thinned and airbrushed. Createx 4053 High Gloss Clear was wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. Bare Metal Foil was used for the trim. I used a Fireball Modelworks Rochester Quadrajet carb and 17 inch Rally II's from Jay's Resin Wheels and Tires on eBay. The interior is painted in Createx Opaque Black and I added embossing powder for the carpet. I used 1/8" aluminum tubing for the exhaust tips, drilled out the nostrils on the ram-air hood, and added ignition wires and heater hoses for extra detail. A lower parts count kit, as most of the old 1/24 scale muscle car kits from Monogram were, but still a very nice kit. Little to no flash and excellent parts fit made this a very enjoyable build. Thanks for looking!

Great build and photographs. It looks excellent and shows those old Monogram kits polish up nicely in the hands of a skilled modeller. The wheels look excellent and are a good idea… the original sized ones on mine look distinctly skinny under such a big car. Well done!

best,

M.

That's 10x better than mine; awesome detail. I built this same kit, though I put on different wheels and a white interior

Beautiful looking paint finish and Judge stripes. Like the engine detailing and the stance.
