RatRod Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Here's my first build of the Slingster kit. Kudos to Revell for bringing this kit back to life in 1/25!!! A few resin bits, some detailing, scratch built brakes (that nobody will ever see.. ) little details, and working steering. I kept the body markings simple (for the moment), but I may add something along the line of 'Hot Tamale' the name of the fingernail polish the body is painted, who knows? I also used a set of Halibrand kidney bean wheels, and M&H tires from a Tony Nancy kit, I personally think the Slingster tires are way to small. On with the show....

Old Nasty Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Very nice. I'm building the same kit along a similar theme. I agree about the size of the slicks. I'm thinking about using the wheels & tires from the Garlits Wynn's Jammer kit but it will require opening up the wheel wells a little bit. Did you have to do the same?

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Great looking model, but the images look heavily processed to me. I'd like to see what she really looks like without the augmentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
