1991 Geo Storm GSi

[StanGlover]

Here is a ‘91 Geo Storm Promo from AMT that I painted and detailed. I wanted to keep it in its bare molded-in-color metallic teal, but it had some noticeable flow swirls in the plastic so I decided to paint it this Rust-O Gloss “Golden Sunset” yellow.
The windows are molded in a dark gray tint, which made the black-molded interior disappear. I painted it in a two-tone gray (Krylon) similar to the factory option, which makes the interior visible now.
The wheels are painted in Tamiya Pearl White. This car was begging for some ‘90s swoosh graphics, so I robbed the set from a ‘90s-issue AMT ‘40 Ford (the one with the horribly dull beige box art). Luckily the old decals held up and laid down beautifully.
I wish these cheap sporty 2-door compacts would make a comeback in the real-world car market. I’d love to pick up a modern one for my work commute, especially as a cheap sporty EV. I miss the Mazda MX3 I had briefly in high school, and the Ford Escort ZX2 I had in college!

Cool Geo.  Very '90s.

Great looking paint finish and color, the graphics fit the model and time period.

Looks very sharp, nicely done! Never realised this was available in kit form - really good to see one built.

Very nice build. I like the yellow. I have 3 of these promos.

Very nice! A cute neighbor girl had one that color (back in the day, Lol).

Nice work! Getting that promo apart is the hard part!

We had a red Storm bought with 120.000 miles on it for my older daughter’s first car. It performed flawlessly.  Then it became a family spare car until my younger daughter started to drive. I drove it to work once a week. Then it was her car for a few years until she spied a Celica convertible she wanted!  I did sell the Storm for about what I paid for it 8 years later.

excellent work!

I'm digging it. Great color for the car, and I like the painted wheels. Good call on redoing the interior so you can actually see it!

As one of my favorite cars of the 1990s, I always wondered why AMT didn't release the unassembled promo as a Snap Fast kit.

As soon as you described the 40nFord I think we all conjured an image in our heads. And that graphic? It was made for that Storm

 

Great stuff
