Terrific Job! I appreciate that you did not just paint the TorqThrust wheels a simple flat gray as most do. The originals had a near magnesium color (where the term "mag wheels" came from) so I blend my own Alcad metals to best simulate that. BTW, what did you paint your intake with? I have been trying multiple types of aluminum paint including the MCW intake paint (which was a fail as it is semi-gloss?) but in the picture, yours seems pretty close.
Thank you! It's been decades since I started this kit, and everything was finished but the body. The wheels, which I just recently realized were not original, were likely brush painted with Testors Model Master Steel, and the intake looks like Testors spray silver. I have a couple of Model Master bottles left, but the steel has been gone for a long time. The current Testors small bottles of steel seem a close match.
Awesome work! I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Looks great!
Thank you!

Thank you!
Looks great! I really like what you did with the chrome. How did you get the galaxie logo so clear?
Thabks! It's just a Molotow pen. Not so clear close up though

This is one clean looking build! Nice work!
Thanks!
