This is the recent issued kit by MPC.

When I got the kit it was not what I expected,so I went with this idea.

Let me know what you think.

This is the first stage of the painting and the bad areas will be worked out.

The color will be Tamiya Orange it looks close to the same as the GTO Judge Orange.

Thanks for looking.

Great start, love it. B)

I’m no expert & I’m not criticising in any way but maybe it could loose a little weight above the front arches. I just think it would look proportionally in balance with the rear, especially looking from the side. As I mentioned earlier I wouldn’t dare criticise as I’m a novice model builder & not in your league at all. ;)

As it is it though, it looks meaner than a scrap yard dog, with a bite to match. I love the head on shot; it would make your spine tingle to see that beast lurking in the rear view. :o

I’ll be following along.

The reason for the arches appearance is that I built it with a foward upward flow,

rather than straight across then a small turn up.

A weight loss now is to late LOL. it is what it is and I'm glad you gave your honnest opinion.

And I'm glad you will follow it as it gets built it may be a while before I update it due to a 55Chevy that I'm working on.

I plan on some fat tires in the back and it will set a little bit higher after it is complete.

Earl.

Ah, yes. I see what you mean. Many thanks for the explanation.

I hope you didn’t mind me commenting but it’s the only way I’m going to learn.

I’ve recently returned to the hobby after a looooong hiatus & whilst I’m now having a lot of fun a hell of a lot has changed.

Regards Davey.
