70 radio ?
« on: November 23, 2024, 11:24:19 PM »
Is the dial indicator on the radio painted the same color as the dash gauge needles?
It appears to have some sun fading, and use a little attention

don't know about the paint brand in your pic, but Testor's model paint Orange Fluorescent #1173 is a perfect match for the 70 radio dial indicator needle

To my understanding , the speedo , dash gauges and tach needles were painted fluorescent red FS 28915 , the touch up paint in the photo . I did not know if the radio was the same or a fluorescent orange color
Thanks Will
