Built this one a while ago when it was re-issued. Typical Revell kit. Goes together well I don't remember having any major issues, painted Tamiya metallic blue, interior coral blue. I totally messed up the wheel arch trim, (getting old sucks). But overall, I'm satisfied. Not my best work but it looks good on the shelve though.

Thanks for looking.

Wow! Between your build quality, the background, and your photography skills, this looks like a 1:1 car. 

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I LUV IT. I have given up using BMF. Depending on which car I want to detail. I will just tape it off and airbrush it with Molotow Chrome

It looks super. I understand about those pesky wheel arches and trying to get BMF to behave. I usually hit them from the underside with the felt-tip end of a Molotow pen. Still, a great job and excellent photography. Well done!

Looks real good; no sweat about the wheel opening trim, I'm pretty young myself and sometimes have a hard time with those too.

Wheel arches are my downfall as well. Maybe that's why I haven't built any cars with them lately...🤣. Beautiful color, and nice presentation as always!

Looks like a total beauty to me! I personally find that as long as my skills diminish a little slower than my eyesight, then I'm okay :)

G’day Mario, nice work.👍🏻Beautiful paint. I can’t bmf wheel arch’s, these days I do them with a beveled edge chrome marker. These 70 Torinos, from the rear, side view remind me of the Aussie XA GT Ford Falcon coupe.

Great looking 70 Torino Cobra there Mario.  The Metallic Blue really pops against the Black.  Yeah, your back drops always look pretty kewl to me.
