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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 🙂

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.

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.

Thanks, Bill. Maybe to late. Yes, it is. I know, that it should be in the same color like the door panels and/or the seats. I wanted to have a bit of more contrast in the interior because it looked a little boring for me I will say. So I decided, to "costumize" that. I was thinking the same way at the lower part of the door panels too but - as you can see - I didn't change that.

I had to import this from the states, because it's still not hit the shores of Britain yet. I've heard so many good things about it, I just had to have one.

Thanks Michael for the input, the more I look at the two Tamiya colors the more inclined I get to use them, also I already have them and they are of good quality.
Will continue to post progress.

Looks good so far. Following.
How good and detailed do you think the kit is?

Hi Shar, the details are good enough for a 16 EUR kit but the build is not easy, struggled a lot with the canopy and cockpit. It's not a perfect representation of the real Alligator as it is built after the initial variant / prototype (EOP above, no camouflage scheme and paint references for it, no countermeasure system under the back landing gear and the nose is a bit different as well). The panel lines are recessed, so hopefully weathering will go smooth.

Yes it does!!
Thanks a lot for encouraging me to use it. I was very close to buying this entire paint set instead:
HTK-CS86 Russian AF Helicopt.. 1, Hataka Hobby Orange Line , Acrylic Lacquer, 8x 17ml

What kind of mixing ratio did you use for the ak paint?

Hi Shar, around 40% paint + 60% thinner. I measure it in pipette drops - example 4 drops of paint, 6 drops of thinner.

Thank you Mr D! This kit has a few challenges:
-The cockpit fit in the fuselage
-The landing gear assembly is s bit weird
-The rotor assembly doesn't go straight as per the instructions
-The Vikhr anti-tank missiles position
I suggest taking all the time for dry fitting these parts before gluing. Overall a challenging kit in my opinion especially if you will want to make the modification I've done for the search and tracking system (EOP bellow the fuselage).
I'm glad it worked out at the end. I could compare this to the newer Zvezda kits I've built and they were much more easier 🙂

Thanks for the feedback back Christian 👍.
Dry fit testing is important... sometimes easy to forget?

My pleasure 🙂 yes it's definitely easy to forget, but in this case the parts I mentioned just don't want to get in the correct position.
Looking forward to seeing this kit built by ★ Starfish ★, he's the GOAT
