The Spadgent Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Revell 76 Ford Torino 1/24 RFI at last! 😍 Hutch “Starsky it’s red.” Starsky “It’s not red, it’s Candy Apple red.” Hey guys. It's been a long time coming. I built this in March and finished in May before embarking on my Massive 1/245 Hurricane build. The WIP can be found HERE it was a really fun build with a huge connection to my childhood. I'm definitely going to do another car at some point, maybe a Plymouth Fury ( you know which one ) This kit was the Revell 76 Ford Torino 1/24 Tamiya acrylics. Tamiya oil wash. Tamiya weathering packs. Flory washes. I think that was about it. Hope you enjoy the much over due RFI. And there she is. Hope you like her and have yourselves a wonderful 2020 y'hear.

CC That’s the one. 🤩 I knew you were going to give it a shot so I held off. I think one built like how she was out on Le-bays front lawn would be cool. Over grown and sinister. 😍 And thanks for the kind words. 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan R Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Looks suitably grubby and used (and slightly abused). Superb. Those Noo Yawk streets are tough! Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hello John, Lovely built. Always had a soft spot for these kind of muscle cars. Glad Revell reissues these from time to time. Good old childhood memories of these, when they were Amt., Matchbox or so then. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I do like it quite a bit. I have made a bit of an online purchase and bought another four wheeled wonder this weekend. I’ll try the technique out in that too. “Not A Fury though” something a Little more anti ghost. 😍👻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
