checkmate Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well I finally finished one, although this one was thrown together in just two weeks to meet the deadline for the NSW NNL Titles, I'm happy with the way it turned out. (Even if it was finished at 1.30am the morning of the show). It's standard out of the box virtually, after last years show it was decided we'd allow bare metal foil, flocking and ignition wires to be added to the NNL cup category. The colour is Holts Ford Wild Violet, with white primer seats and Tamiya purple carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmate Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 After a mate of mine, Fred complaining about display stands I knew I had to have this on one so I recycled an old base from about a decade ago that I used on a '41 Willys I built and put the model on it for the show. And much to my surprise and Fred's horror(disgust ) it came home with the gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmate Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nice job. Any issues building it. I have a couple in my stash to build.lThe front end was a nightmare to put together and so was the rear. But with some fiddling and adjusting, it fits together really well.(once you get it together ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
