68 Buick Skylark GS New Tires 12/5/13

[Porscheman]

I started this one a while back and forgot I had it. I was looking for some wheels and came across it and decided to finish it today. This is a Perry's resin trans-kit to go with Revell's 67 Chevelle chassis. It was painted Dupli-color Canyon Red Met., with Testors Wet Look clear top coat. The interior was done in semi gloss black and the windows were tinted with Tamiya's Clear Blue.

I have to admit it, I think it came out pretty good. Let me know what you think.

Not quite a stock color, but that does look really nice on it.

I always thought the 1968-69 Skylark had a real dash of flair to it that the 1970-72 models lost big-time.

Great looking model of a great-looking car.

Yep, me too! That dramatic trunk/rear styling gets my attention every time. Nice job. Perfect color.

Great model of a great car. That red is the perfect color to set off those clean lines.

Question: How did you get such a subtle tint on the windows? Did you thin the transparent blue with clear?

Thanks guys. For the window tint I use Tamiya Clear Blue out of the can. 4 light coats right on top of each other. It's take 5 seconds to paint all 4 coats and 1 minute later and your ready to install. Just remember light coats and the tint will be perfect. PM me if you need help.

Thanks for the info, Al. This surprises me, as I would have expected it to be too dark straight from the can.
