Here's a few pics of my AMT 1/25 '66 Buick Wildcat. I still have to paint the chrome, give the body a gloss coat and fit the winshield, which will be quite a chor, since the body is warped.







In the background you can see a bit of a figure I'm working on to.

Jesper, the paint job looks awsome as with the chrome trim. What did you use to get the black in the bottom rocker panel trim. What color of red was used and did you use a polishing kit. Post once done, i'd like to have a look.

That's a nice looking car there Jesper. Have you ever thought about using Bare Metal Foil for your chrome trim, or can you not get it there?

Hi guys
Thanks for your kind words.

Mother: The red color is Humbrol #19. I haven't polished the body, even though it could use a bit of polishing. I'm still not sure what the "Bottom rocker panel" is

Darryl: I have never seen bare metal foil, in any hobbyshop in Denmark. Would love to try it some day. I have heard it's perfect for chrome trim. Have you used it on any carmodels?
