Great results from these kits.

Damned, how far will I go? Found a quite interessting wip on modelcarsmag (modelcarsmag.com/for..-mpc-72-pontiac-gto/) with a lot of work on the fitting ...

István Szücs
Christian, that's an incredible build!

Martin Oostrom
I'm not sure I like the front end of that car.
Let's see what you'll make of it

Christian W
The front end was an issue ever. Im not the biggest fan too. I was buying this because I thought it was built in 1973 too. But the 1973 GTO is a totally other car and this kit doesn't fullfill the requirements of our annual group build of our "club".
After looking through that wip, ... I think I will not go that far. But one I will do: reduce the gaps at the front. They are really present.

Christian W
I started this GTO in between because the Charger sucks a little or my mind gives me the order that I have to work on several kits at the same time.
I was in the mood, to get this car painted. So I get some spots sanden on the body, fillered it and gave it a kind of green-turquis-blueish. This rattle can is on of the leftover of the 1977 Firebird (1977 Pontiac Firebird Coupe | Project by christian-w (1:25)) color I bought, when I was looking for the right color. I think it works on this car good.

Christian W
By the way: I'm not going for a vinyl roof on that.

Christian W
Next steps are done. The body got it's clear cote, undercarriage and interior is painted too. It's good. Now I'm thinking about how to get a little more shade into the interior color. It's to close to the body color.

Spray some Tamiya smoke over it?

Christian W
Smart idea! Maybe this klear yellow from Tamiya could work too. I have to give that a try.

Christian W
I painted the interior. First i tried with tamiya smoke to go over it but I wasn't satisfied. Then I went through my metallic paints and grabbed #397 (Car Metallic Plane Tree Green) and mixed a little #60 (Yellow Green) into it. Maybe 10%. I think it's not that bad so far.
Now I think about to take the same mixture for my 1977 Firebird 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Nice colour for the interior

Christian W
Thank you! It could be, that I go over it another time. It depends on, how it works together with the exterior color. It might be a little to green 😉 The body looks more blueish. Darker. Dirtier 😉 Somehow.

Christian W
Did the interior. I think it's ready to be completed

I like your build. It may be too late now, but the rear package tray was this cardboard and is the same color as the door cards.

George Williams
Nice work on this old kit.

George Williams
Nice pair of Matras.
