Tom Geiger Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Great save Ron! It's always better when we see the "Before" picture! I too remember not having money for supplies and scrounging. Had some Testors 19 cent bottles but didn't have that last 19 cents for the thinner bottle so my brush went hard. No problem, Mom had Q-Tips! Yea I painted a model or two with those. And one time my mother had bought Christmas green and red spray paint for a holiday project. I wound up using those on my T'rantula kit. Yea, everytime I see one of those kits I remember it painted Christmas green with a red interior and motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Schwartz Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Very slick! I'm sure your dad would have loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) It's a rare treat indeed to see one of these big 88s - especially when you've done such a sharp job on it! What cement did you use to attach the styrene kit parts to the Cycolac promo body? Edited May 20, 2015 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
