It's the tangerine one in these pictures:

How much? I'd want a back-half version as that's what is under construction right now.
I have an NIB '69 AMX in 1/20 scale. I'd have to find a '70 AMX kit. Damn, knew I shouldn't have sold that ! |
Jeff, I have done contract work in the past, but these days I just do not have the time.
The problem with doing your car is how rare the kit is that would be needed. It is not impossible to do those. Using the 1/20th scale would not be a great option because there is nothing in 20th scale to use to make you car with a back half and the big slicks. So much custom work would need to be done. It would be cheaper to find the rare kits and parts in 1.25th scale.
As for the Paint. That would not be hard to replicate in scale. I know someone that can do that and does do that level of painting on models. he paints the real thing as a living too. He is the painter at one of the top custom shops in the Valley. Just a little south of you. I could ask him. It would cost some bucks though. The hard part is the lettering. Not impossible, but will be some work.
Allot of people do not realize the work that goes into making these models. So it can be quite costly to have a replica of your race cars done. Especially with the types of paint jobs you guys are putting on these cars these days.
