AMT 1970 Monte Carlo

[AMT68]

Built from the most recent reissue of the 1/25 scale AMT '70 Monte Carlo and painted in Dupli-Color Ford Dark Toreado Red with Rust-Oleum clear. While the exterior color is similar to Black Cherry available in '70 the Claret interior wasn't intended to match any factory offerings. I foiled the section that spans the rear tail lights in an effort to mimic the appearance of the '72 (minus the black accent stripes) but in hindsight it would've been better to have used a matte foil. And I cut strips of black vinyl to create the accent stripes along the lower body molding and used .007 clear lay film for the marker lights. Now that I've photographed the model it's become apparent that the accent stripes are clearly too wide and out of scale. I also opted to use the Turbine wheel covers from the AMT '70 Impala versus the kit's Rallye Wheels.

Beautiful paint finish and color. The close to matching interior color goes well with the body color. Had a one owner '72 with 80k on the odo Monte Carlo, should never have let it go.
