I took a BBR Classic Kit No19 to build (with some modifications below) the darkblue GTO 4219GT. Hope you like it.

Kind regards
Wolfgang

Wolfgang many thanks for your advice, i'm about to build my first 1:43. I'm didn't notice the dark blue!, anyway is really gorgeous

To be exact, the paint on the GTO is a very dark blue

Dear Pedro
Thanks for your kind words.

I take the slow and time consuming way:

Filler sanded with 800 grit
Paint sanded with 1200 grit
Clear cote sanded with 2000 and 3000 grit.
Then polished until shining again.

Paint used is one pack acrylic car paint from automotive spray cans. Applied with a small air-brush.

It gives a softer gloss than the two-pack clearcoats many use.
And I prefer this against the hard gloss of the two-pack clearcoats.

Kind regards
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang I'm new in the forums and also in 1:43 building, I had saw many topics from you including this 250 gto that is really beatiful, how can be achieved such shine in the black color and in all exterior colors of your built models? Thanks

Very cool, thanks Wolfgang. I like the way you have visualized your modifications.

Rounded the front fender that is much to square




Rounded the back fender and lowered itīs upper edge a bit. Opened the air outlet beheind back-wheels




Holed the door pockets so there is depth behind the photoeched door interior panel




Tried to make new backlights (still not 100% satisfied), and a canopy to be put on top of the photoetched gas cap. To have it three-dimensional




made a steering-wheel from the center of a Tron photoetch and 0,5 mm brass wire
