|
|
Finished this Hardee's T'Bird this morning. Powerslide decals worked perfectly, although not a perfect match for Tamiya TS-12 orange. Looks great from about 4 feet away. Filled door lines, removed the bump strip above the rockers and pretty much that was it. Always a pleasure building the old Monogram kits.

Looks great. I have this in the que to build as well. Never really know what Orange to use for these cars. Seems like all the decals are different shades. Thanks for sharing and getting me thinking about my build more. |

I used TS-12 Tamiya Orange for this car. There was no recommendations on the reference sheet and I was going by what Mike recommended for his Hardee's Monte Carlo sheet. The sheet used was a Powerslide sheet for the T'birds.
Looks alright on the shelf, not really as much contrast as the pics imply. |
