o-man Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Well I got this finished. Left off the exterior decals and the mirrors. With my luck, I would have smeared glue all over body. Painted Duplicolor Nissan Orange Mist Metallic. I know, GNX's are supposed to be black, but I felt like something different. Besides, I have another Grand National in the stash that's molded black. Interior painted Walmart Gray primer with German and neutral Gray accents. Engine room without hood, Interior, Chassis, Finished product
o-man Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 More pics,Comments and suggestions welcomed, thanks for looking
Shelby 427 1965 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 When it's built as cleanly as that, I don't think anyone can complain about a non-black GNX. Love it!
Danno Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Looks great in Orange Mist! Some BMF would help a bunch, and removal of the engraving on the chassis would improve it as well.
om617 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 These cars look good in any color imo with the blacked out details. This one is no exception.
DynoMight Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Looks great in Orange Mist! Some BMF would help a bunch, and removal of the engraving on the chassis would improve it as well. I think GNX's didn't have chrome trim. They had blacked-out trim; or that's what my quick google search said. Great model, I love that you put its not black as a tag haha
Platerpants Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 very nicely done but i still say black is the color for these
ERIK88 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Very nice clean build! But have to stick with black! Lol
kruleworld Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 it looks fab. How did you find the kit itself?
stitchdup Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Cool car, black would have been boring in my opinion. Being another colour suits it
Pim Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Looks great I have being thinking about getting this kit from your build I might have to make an order
o-man Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 it looks fab. How did you find the kit itself? Not bad at all. There was a mold mark on either side of the body, but very little flash. Some say the chassis isn't accurate for the GNX, but it makes a very decent looking model.
Chuck Most Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 I think the color looks awesome! All it needs now is a proper North Carolina plate.
