AMT - 1959 Galaxie convertible , A rebirth of sorts

[gtx6970]

Original issue 1959 Ford Galaxie convertible built-up . A before picture from back then just to show what I started with 

I started this one long ago . 8 -9 years maybe . I Got it painted then had issues with painting the interior. SO,,,, back in the box it went 

Interior has been stripped and now in Tamiya white primer for a base line 

 

Well,,, now that I have more time on my hands.( and a new airbrush I want to try out )  Its time to give this one another chance for the case 

Ive attached a  link to a 1/1 car to show my ultimate goal for a finished product

Like the new paint color scheme.

The coral is on the seats.

 

I'll let it dry a few days.

Then do the black.

Bmf work is done.

 

THAT was fun.

Ok....not really 

 

Interesting how much difference the color looks in or out of sunlight

 

The interior and the exterior of the body are the same exact color .  Only difference. Body has a gloss clear on it and interior has a semi gloss clear 

In natural light up close 

It definitely has a pinkish cast to it.
