Original issue that was started almost immediately. Then I decided no stripe, since that would have been a nightmare. Then I blacked out a bunch of items. I was going for box stock at the time. I was kind of fantatical about OOB builds for a while. High detail had worn me out with all the drag cars I had been building. I needed a break and this came along at the right time.

Fathom green from Testors I believe. Tan interior. At this time I was a kit builder. I still am in many respects. This sat in the box for 12 years at least. It needs a few items, but I had it on the bench so I shot it as is.

So retro!   Very cool.  And very convincing, especially grill and headlights.  Do you wash the headlights with black?  They look super good!

Yep, good eyes. I like to add washes where I think they will do the most good. Adding depth and dirt or oil so that it looks used.

Thanks!  I am going to try that on a future build - looks very convincing.  Good tip.
