Bruno Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Here's the AMT Fireball 500 built box stock. Everything is from the box, no add-ons or parts swapped. It's a very crude kit, like their '69 Barracuda kit, it has a very nice body though, and a car trailer is included in the kit (I haven't built the trailer yet...) So I decided to build this one using only the parts from the kit, only detail with paint and BMF.
DRG Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Your build proves one thing, it is possible to build a really nice model without all those after market parts. Good job.
roadhawg Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I agree, very nice, and very nostalgic too! You did a great job with the paint.
Terry Sumner Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Nice job on fading those colors into each other...that's a fairly tough thing to do!
RatRod Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 One of the nicest built-up's I've seen of this kit. Great job!!!
Greg Cullinan Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I've never seen this kit built,guess I'll be adding another kit to my list of wants. Beautiful build and paint job.
RodneyBad Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Great looking paint job. For being as Crude as it is, ya did a Fantastic job on it.. Great looking lil Fireball
Bruno Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks everyone That fade paint job was easier to do than I thought, I don't have much experience with my airbrush, still it came out nice. I used automotive waterborne basecoat sprayed with my airbrush, and urethane clearcoat sprayed with my mini touch-up spray gun.
John Teresi Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Bruno........Absolutely an Outstanding job on this build.......AWESOME!!!!!
charlzrocks Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 WOW Bruno!! Excellent job on the build! It looks FANTASTIC!!
