Rescued Cars

Some time ago, I was given a box full of built models from a friend.

I did some rebuilds of the models, and I hope you like what I did. The one that gave me more work was a Pontiac Catalina Super Duty. The car was brush painted with acrylic paint, and had most of it's parts, being just a little scratched and showing it's time inside a box full of models. For my luck, there was another Catalina inside the box, built as a junker, with lot's of Testors rust paint brushed on, with no chrome parts left. Combining the two, I could build one complete model.

here is what I started with:

First step: Using brake fluid, I striped the paint of the blue Catalina's body:

Interior repainted:

I painted the body with Tamiya TS-15 blue, and all the rest with Testors acrylics.

Here is the car done:

 

Thanks for looking!!
