  1. This is the next instalment of my ongoing Thunderbolt saga. The model here is my 3rd attempt at the Hubert Platt car gone wrong :( .

    The second paint job using automotive lacquer crazed the plastic, so this was sanded smooth, reprimed and lightly dusted with colour but the 'craziness' still affected the metallic paint. A coat of Testor's Dullcoat solved that and my entry for our club's AFX/Gasser/AWB theme night was born.

    The engine is from the ModelKing repop of the Dick Brannan Mustang, the front suspension was pirated from the AMT '37 Chevy roadster.

  2. Thanks for the comments guys, it is much appreciated, especially considering some of the great builders there are on this site.

    The kit must take some of the credit though, it goes together really well and the fit of the hood is perfect.;)

  3. This is a recent build before I joined the forum. Paint is Tamiya rattlecan, Dark Blue Metallic over Blue/Violet.

    The build is box stock except for plug wires and scratchbuilt sidetrim.

    Thanks for looking.
