Chrysler Pacifique

[Scale-Master]

This was a factory built promo version of the Lindberg Atlantic kit that had been disassembled and partially painted about a dozen years ago. Then shelved and forgotten.
Since it won’t be a replica of the one-of-a-kind Atlantic, I decided to rename it and give it a little different look.

I cemented on and faired in the nose to remove that seam across it. I scribed a new hood line and made some adjustments around the grilles to match since the hood lines used to run into them.
It had been originally painted with Testors enamels, so I sanded it smooth, primed it and then put down a base of lacquer gray for a solid base for the lacquer main color.
Here it is after prep and bodywork, ready for primer/undercoat.


I chose Tamiya TS-40 Metallic Black for the color.


I machined the centers out of the Atlantic wheels to accept a set of Centerlines I cast copies of.

I decided to take a cue from Bugatti and made some body accents in a French Blue.
