Hi

Paintjob is done...Dark Mica Blue Tamiya TS-64.

The camera didnīt show the correct color. On pic 4 you see the correct color that the human eye is seeing.







Here is the paint under light.

Re: 1959 El Camino AMT 1:25

Hi

Updates...

The interior is flat white with grey flocking powder for the seat.



Wood decals fot the bed from Tauro.



The decals and the softer didnīt worked perfect. The result is not looking good...:rant:



I decided to make a new bed for this truck with ī0.10" evergreen plate.

















Before



...and after,looking great.



One stripe of BMF is on the body.

Looks like a sequoia wooden bed on your Camino :-) The whole bed is done from single piece of wood.

Re: 1959 El Camino AMT 1:25

I like the las try for the bed, but may be looks better if you make of real wood, i make my bed for a chevy 41 with sticks of wood from my doctor ofice, then aply weather.
If you need, send the pics, looking good anyway.

BMF is on the body...









Here are 2 different grills, but the original looks better.





Interior is almost done....
