kelson Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Finally managed to finish this one!,it fought me all the way!the quality of the kit is awesome,i ended up repainting it 6 times and i'm still not happy with the finish but I just wanted off my work bench!.Paint is Chrysler Electric blue with a couple coats of Duplicolor clear,i left off the rear decals,because one day i'll strip it and repaint it again.thx for looking in.

peekay Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Excellent job! And the paint looks fine from here.This is one of those cars that is getting old enough to appeal to me - you don't see the kit that often these days though.

captjeffro26 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Love these old turbo bricks. The paint looks pretty good to me. Great job on a cool kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I had this kit years ago, wish I knew what happened to it. I love wagons. Have had a few, my last was a 93 VW Passat VR6, modded like crazy. Wifey currently drives a Volvo XC90. Love your build, looks like one of the expensive AutoArt diecasts.

Zoom Zoom Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Looks great, love that blue. I finally built mine late last year after stripping the 20 year old paintjob that failed and I put it back in the box for another day, luckily the new paint came out well. Now these kits are rare, hard to find, and pretty cool to see built! I have fresh decals to build the BTCC wagon I've never started but will build this year.

engmecwilson Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very nice, curtis....if you are really going to rebuild it, I think lowering suspensions would give a even better look.Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very nice, curtis....if you are really going to rebuild it, I think lowering suspensions would give a even better look.Congratulations.I agree the rear sits a little high,something somewhere didn't line up,luckily I have a couple more of these in the stash I can try and troubleshoot with.
