So the Bonneville is complete. With the first kit being airbrushed done, I can see the mistakes and the impatience when painting. But overall, I love this kit and would recommend it to anyone
The mold lines were very sharp, the amount of detail is great. The only issue I did have with the kit is the final assembly, is the chassis kind of floats at the front and rear. Other than that, full axles make it's a rolly. This kit also used the most amount of foil so far, due to the side skirts.
The dash had plenty of detail to work with. This meant, it was going to be a complete mess up or a decent detailed piece of art. After a few hours, I'm going to go with the later. This followed up by a simple interior allowed for a overall good set up.
I wasn't really sure about the tan. It looked a lot lighter in the bottle. But after the interior started to get painted, it looked good. Plus the darker two tone interior really works with the exterior Pearl Lime Green. Used the embossing powder for the carpet to help finish it off.
Normally, the AMT kits have a lot of flashing and a lot of other issues. I was really surprised with this one. I think more could be done with this, especially under the hood. Plug wires would really set this off as would battery cables. Guess it's time to order spare parts to start working with.
Overall, I think this is the best build i've done yet. The color choices, the actual work. Though, there are a few areas that need reworked. And I need to get some chrome paint so when the bumpers are damaged, they can be stripped, fixed and repainted.
