I just got a Blue Max model and was wondering what the correct blue to use? It��s a very nice kit with nice detail and options.

I kind of thought it was but I couldn��t tell as all of the pictures on the box are of the car at night. I thought that they might have used a slightly different color.

I remember seeing the car in person in the '70s. Mike is right, it is very much like acapulco blue. It was a medium-dark metallic blue. It was a very beautiful color!------------------

I saw this car also back in the early 70s but I was very young and only recall that it seemed bright. For this reason I thought it might not be a factory color.

 I took this when I was 12 years old with my Kodak Instamatic 104. Anybody recognize the track?
Many race cars back then were painted with custom metalflake and candy colors. Tracy

I have the Polar Lights '69/'70 one. There is an actual photo on the box top but it looks like it was taken in low light conditions with a flash. quote:

I am in the process of finishing the Revell '71 and it calls for (believe it or not) Blue Pearl. I found the color but I could only get it as a brush on paint.
Hope that helps

Now is the 71 car painted the same color blue as the 69-70 cars?
