@100ford2003 Steve, It is actually a light blue. The pictures give it a little green flare.

Nice job and a great addition! I love the roofline of the 1969-70 Galaxie 500 and XL. Those flying buttress sail panels were the precursor to the restyled '71-73 Mustang coupes. Your model is actually a Ford XL. It shared the concealed headlights/grill with the LTD. The Galaxie has exposed headlights and a different grill.

I'm not much of a fan of green cars but I gotta admit that this shade looks pretty dayum good. I'll bet it looks even better on a Continental Mark III or VI.

@pete-rovero Pete thanks for the information! I agree the lines of the 69-70 is what made it stand out to get this kit.

@geoff-jowett Yes Geoff, that is the one. Good luck getting one. I actually found this one at a Walmart store recently. But not all Walmarts are carrying model kits. I got lucky.

@sizedoesmatter Yes it is an AMT kit. I think it just came out recently. I had not seen it before.

Nice to know that AMT is still around producing model kits.
