1970 MACH1!

[cruz]

Completed this one about a year and a half ago, it was featured in Model Cars Magazine. Color is Grabber Orange from Scale Finishes. I plumbed and wired the engine and used diferrent tires sourced from another kit. Ride height was slightly modified for a more period correct look.

Scalefinishes paint is great and of course Jameston, the owner is great to deal with. This color in particular is a little tricky being that it goes on pretty light at the start, you have to make sure to carefully monitor your progress and shoot enough coats in all areas of the model to get good and even coverage.

I didn't have any issues with this model at all, everything went pretty smooth with the assembly. I didn't like the tires that came with the kit, I thought they were too small and of course they were void of any side markings, a no no for me. I did have to lower it a bit more from the front, thought it was too high.

Thank you. It's a combination of both, the middle is paint, the two outer lines are the actual kit decals.
