tomsheehy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Still on my "amnesty" tour...finishing up projects that I started way back. Up for review here is a 68 Roadrunner, built box stock from the AMT kit. Painted with Tamiya gold, the roof was treated to the Testors vinyl top paint. Very pleased with the texture, but this was a tough kit to do this to due to the very thin drip rails and window moldings. Interior painted with vinyl interior paint (I believe Duplicolor). Its a shame the taillights are so poor on this kit, I had a replacement set from Missing Link but of course when the time came to use them I couldn't find them. So a replacement set will be obtained.
tomsheehy Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 A replacement replacement set? Yes, Missing Link resin sells a replacement set that are much more accurate.
BubbaJoe Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 very nice..i like the vinyl roof..i'll have to try it sometime
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Very nice Tom!! So nice to see one of these painted something other than the "usual" colors! Great work! Steve
DumpyDan Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Very Nice, this looks really good looking car. Great job!
tomsheehy Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 03/04/15 Update... I was able to obtain a set of the Missing Link resin taillights...what a difference they make for making the rear end look more acceptable. I also added a Keith Marks rear panel decal, for the optional trunk trim piece that was available on the RRs. The only shortfall is I should have bare metal foiled the edge of the taillights instead of chrome paint. Before and after pics:
Mopar - D Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Tom very nice looking roadrunner and going back and adding the missing link tails lights and Keith Marks decal really sets this build off.
