Classicgas Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 This little gem is included in Revell's 80 Jeep Honcho kit. The kit has generic markings for it that match the truck. After doing research I found out it was a 79 Arctic Cat El Tigre. I collaborated with Speedway Decals and you see the result here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thanks guys. It's possible speedway may consider selling these decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Those things were brutal to ride compared to the sleds of today! Nice job on that Lee, sure would be nice to see some decals for that sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Very nice! Were the decals printed on clear decal film, or on white film with printed black background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Clear film. Speedway prints white. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Verkerk Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Very well done!!! the decals take it to another level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Wow, you did a really great job on this one. I got the original Ice Patrol kit on my shelf (Chevy pickup) and that one has the correct decals but I never thought it could end up this good. I must build mine some day too.

Chuck Most Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Nice! I do hope they'll sell the sheet for it. I believe the graphic scheme changed little (if at all) between '77 and '79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Best thing is to send them a note letting them know you are interested. He hasn't updated his site for some time, he does this on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Looks pretty good. I have one of those that I haven't built yet. A guy from work commissioned me to build the Jeep Honcho for him because he has a 1:1 Jeep just like the kit. He told me I could keep the snowmobile. That's how I got it.
