One of my favorite old Fords. I sure kick myself for not picking up a few of these before. I'll be watching this one. I'd say red w/ black accents.

Pics looks great so far, Walt. And, yes, you're right about Alex. He has jumped head-long into model building, and he's getting better and better by the kit. What impresses me the most is that he's starting to get really creative, thinking outside the box, and starting to whittle on the plastic a bit, making things look the way HE wants it to. He still gets a little impatient at times, and hurries to get finished. But it's only because HE'S excited. How can you knock a 13 year-old for that??!! Besides that, he's the only 13 year-old that I know that's actually building models! Sad, but true.

.....And thanks for encouraging him. He's hooked on this Forum, just like I knew he'd be. Alex is a good kid, and I'm proud of him and all he does. You guys are really making his day by taking time to comment on his builds. He's on top of the world.

Here's the color you should do:

Looking on Google images, most are orange, red, and yellow, but you don't see to many green versions.

LOVE that shade of green on that car. I built an old AMT '72 Chevelle in that color......I think it was Testor's Model Master British Racing Green, if I recall.

I finished a '70 Torino Cobra Jet of my own a few months back.. I'm a new member and posted pics of this build. You should check em out if you get a chance. I painted mine the factory Ford Grabber Green.

Ron, I just took a look see at your cobra and all I can say is that all I can hope for is that mine comes out as nice as yours.

I have just one question about the hood and fender gap was the gap real big on yours because I will have to fix the gap on mine. :D

Actually I have to say this kit fit together better than most that i've done. There was very little adjustments needed to complete it.

Ok Mike you won ! I just stopped at the LHS and I picked up the Boyd Lime pearl and that will go over Gold... :)

Are you happy now ? ....LOL :)

That should look awesome. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Got the gap on the hood being worked out and got some foil on the console

Looking at my Torino kit, I'm thinking that paint film will be enough to close the gap between the fenders and hood. I wonder how much variation there is between these kits.....different releases, etc.?

Umm, soap is EVIL? No, that's just what I thought when I was a kid! :)

Sorry to see the mishap, but I'm sure you can recover easily, at least it's just the primer and not a color coat....
