How do you get the finishes to be so smooth and glossy? Do you use an airbrush? I want more pics of the GTO and the General Lee!Thanks Jim. I just use basic Testors spray paint. Some of them, depending on how glossy they look, I'll hit with the Testors clear coat. To make them extra glossy, Meguiars Gold Class wax:D I'll get the pics up a little later. Which GTO do you want to see? The '67 or the '69 Judge? Quote Selected

The OFFICIAL Model Car Thread! Reply #70 – January 12, 2006, 10:31:06 PM Here they are...I wasn't going to build the general lee as it is. It was going to be a plain red '69 charger. But after painting the car red and the interior black, I decided to change it to the general lee.The '67 GTO is an AMT kit. Anyone have problems with the newer AMT kits? I noticed that some of the AMT stuff is not very well detailed and parts often don't line up the way they are supposed to. Not much detail here.The '69 GTO was one of the first ones I built so it doesn't have a lot of detail either. Quote Selected
The OFFICIAL Model Car Thread! Reply #71 – January 12, 2006, 10:41:31 PM This is one of my favorite ones. This Cutlass is an AMT kit but very well detailed and has turning front tires. It is a 442 but I decided to make it a more generic looking car. I painted the vinyl top since it was a hard top and used two different color spray paints to get the body color. I also decided to detail the engine bay a little bit by putting in spark plug wires.And here are two of my Fox T-bird Nascar kits. Quote Selected

The OFFICIAL Model Car Thread! Reply #74 – January 13, 2006, 01:25:22 AM Nice stuff. Some of the "newer" AMT kits are really just old AMT or MPC kits in new boxes. The new AMT 05 GT and 04 GTO kits are just re-labled Polar Lights stuff. Quote Selected
