Revell 70 Firebird

I started this project recently. The body was already painted a nice shade of green when I got it but I haven't taken any pics of the body yet. I will do the interior in something close to Buckskin. I started detailing the wheels and painting the chassis and engine. Got the chassis assembled tonight. More pics on my next bench session. I was in need of the white decals since mine are damaged. It looks like Duane Garner has come through for me.

Cool stuff.

So, here is a pic of the body. It was decently painted when I got it and I don't know what the paint is. So, I can't touch it up.

I replaced the tires in the kit with some BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. They are smaller than the kit tires but look really close to fitting in the wheelwells the way the 1:1's did. Just finished handpainting the white letters.

Got the engine painted with some Model Master Pontiac engine blue. That's about all for now.

You have my attention.

That is a nice looking color.

You lucked up on that one. Anything I've ever gotten that was already painted looked like a 5yr old finger painted it.

Those Pontiac rally wheels are nicely detailed. 👍🏻

Got it mocked up to see how tge tires look in the wheelwells. They are a bit smaller than the kit ones but once the body is glued in place I believe they will look just fine.

Like the body color and the wheel & tire setup looks great.

Nice looking paint. Doing a nice job.
