smellyfatdude Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Finished this today, and since I wasn't trying to acquire on of these kits in the first place, I must say I'm quite pleased. So why use the vintage decal on what is an otherwise nearly stock looking build? Simple. I didn't build this for accuracy. If I'd wanted an accurate ' 70, I would have bought one of the Revellogram Pro Modeller kits. This kit came to me by a twist of fate, so I said, "ehhh" and built it for fun. And when I do that, he he, anything goes.
bbowser Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Very nice. Looks like it would've been right at home on the street in the '70s.
1930fordpickup Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 This takes me back to my late brothers Torino.
smellyfatdude Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 This takes me back to my late brothers Torino. Thanks all, and 30ford this takes me back to the mid seventies, when I started enjoying being a subscriber to magazines like Hot Rod and Car Craft. I was around ten, also the age I started building as a kid. Some of the coolest cars to be found in those pages, to me were the street machines with a nice paint job, some trick wheels, and a word or two slapped on the side or the trunk. Building this, it was nice to use a little of that inspiration I'd been saving.
TooOld Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 It looks good to me and I really like that color !
