dantewallace Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Built this from an old 1981 Monogram kit. I tried to source the closest color I could to factory Goldenrod Yellow. What do you guys think?
CrazyGirl Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I see a real GTO !! so where is the model ???????
The70judgeman Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Nice to see one other than Carousel Red for a change...although I'm building one in that color.
slusher Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 First one in yellow l have seen. beautiful color and model.
Helix Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Nice work indeed, I recently built the latest release, not much has changed, still a good kit
jrherald420 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I'm building the same year GTO kit right now. Looks good!
LongRoofNut Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Love that yellow. Mine has been waiting to be built for 12 or so years........
kingiguana Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Nice, great color choice. I remember building that kit when it came out. I gotta pick one up.
dantewallace Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for all of the compliments guys!! I really appreciate it. I am happy with the way it turned out overall, except for the firewall. It is very bare and lacking in terms of detail. I have built this older version and the 90's release back in 2008. I found that even though this kit came out about 15 years earlier, the mold never had extra firewall details added, shame. Still a nice kit with excellent fit and finish.
Tonioseven Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Terrific build!!! Nice to see one in a different color than orange.
RS3 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Color really makes this one a standout. Nice indeed!! Bet that yellow would look good on the 70 Buick GSX, too.
dantewallace Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Beautiful work !!! How did you paint the tires? Thank you!!, I used a toothpick and ink from a white paint pen
dantewallace Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Color really makes this one a standout. Nice indeed!! Bet that yellow would look good on the 70 Buick GSX, too. I agree, I built a 70 GSX a few years back but didn't want to go with the box stock yellow so I ended up with sublime green
