Very nice! Having had a blue '84 way back when, it's great to see one of these done up right.

Very cool, that looks great!

Awesome job on these! I always like seeing tributes to Hot Wheels cars, there were so many cool designs that look even better with extra details.

Thanks!

Supposedly it did about sixty miles in its first day, does that count? 🤔

That's where I am with their W31 kit. I was dumb enough to go into this one thinking "oh, small car and a single parts runner - how hard could it be?"

Fair point! 😆
And yes - I only had a short window each day where I could really work on this before I felt like I was going crosseyed.

Very cool! And I'd say that's pretty legitimate - it has the tag and everything!

Great looking build, nice job!

This was my second go at an ICM kit, and much like their Renault taxi it was a beautiful little kit if a bit over-engineered. The main tree had more parts than some whole kits that I've built, with many of them being incredibly tiny. But fit and finish were excellent, and the photoetch wheel spokes and chain drives really do add to the finished look. My only addition was a cloth belt, using the optional "make your own belt" pulleys included in the kit. A full writeup is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Excellent job, that's a great looking little Ford! Really like the upgrades you made.

Excellent! Also, got to throw in here how much I like that Joker Merc.

Very cool, I really like what you did for the woodgrain.

Very clean work, that looks great!

Nice! I used Revell's trailer for mine, it was cheaper to find than the Fruehauf trailer at the time. Looking forward to seeing your finished rig.
