That's a really sweet build, and I LOVE the color! The honeycomb wheels are a nice touch, too. Is this the old MPC kit?

Nice work Brian you don't often see the 1972 GTO being built mostly the 1969 Judge, I to like the color.

Well there's no denying that I love this model you've done. I love GTOs and it's good to see someone's improvements of the model kit, which is sooooo basic and totally lacking detail.

I think you did awesome.
Totally stock for the most part. I wish ya did a play-by-play of the build. I'd love to see all the things you did to overcome the AMT/Old MPC mold work.

(Thanks for bumping this post up Murph, I must have missed it originally)

Hi Brian,

I'm not really into cars, but wow! What a great job.

I love the colour - what did you use?

Rudi

p.s. I think it's quiet everywhere at the moment due to summer...
