Completed: Revell 1970 TransAm

Finally finished this one up. It's the re-release of the Revell (Monogram) 1970 TransAm. Painted with Tamiya Pure White and cleared/polished. The interior is painted with Testors Lacquer Nassau Blue Metallic and detailed with testors chrome silver and semi-gloss black. The shaker scoop was painted with Tamiya Light Blue Metallic and the decals were masked off (while still on the decal sheet) and re-sprayed with the same Light Blue Metallic so they would more closely match the shaker scoop. I added plug wires, although impossible to see, and I also added window cranks and door locks. I stripped and repainted the wheels and rear bumper. I painted the bumper with alclad and it was my first time using it. Some of the chrome rubbed of the bumper while handling it and it needs to be redone. The Firestone lettering on the tires are left over decals from a Fujimi GT40 kit. This release doesn't include "Transam" scripts for the fenders or rear of the spoiler. Also, the hood doesn't fit great.

Here's a few pics... thanks for looking.

Nice work with the paint.....looks amazing.

Looks really nice, great shine on the paint and I think that's the first time that I have seen panel lines on a white body not appear overpowering.

Thanks again everyone.

Viccario, the panel lines were done with a mix of Testors Enamel 5 parts Flat White and 1 part Flat Black, thinned to a very thin consistency and flowed into the panel lines.

Looks absolutely beautiful, great paintjob, great details, excelent finish :sunglasse I love it

what paint mix did you use on the panel lines?

Gorgeous, gorgeous paint job.
