G' Day Folks,

One of many old kits I purchased from a deceased estate at the start of this year.

They are all in good shape and decided that this would be the first because it's a rather nice looking car.

Pretty basic kit with three options and I enjoyed building it, the only upgrade was using the AMT round 2 white walls. I set the suspension at the custom setting to give it a better looking stance.

Testors Burgundy Red Metallic, no clear, just polished like I normally do.

Interior is done with Tamiya light sand and of course a fair bit of BMF :D!

Cheers

Ray

Cool Ray!

I may have mentioned it to you before, but I had a good friend in high school who had this car in the same color!

Only difference was a black & white interior.

He had it for about a week & then he got drunk & took out several rows of corn with it & bent the frame.

That was that! :unsure:

Cheers Steve and thanks for reminding me, here's the pic that inspired me to build it.....

Yes sir!

I remember that photo.

As I said when you first posted this build, that's not my friend, but the car is an almost exact replica.

The more I look at that photo, the more I wonder if it could have been the family that previously owned the car before my friend bought it.

It would be interesting to find more info on the photo.
