RickRollerLT1 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 In between work and life, I haven't managed to get very much done within the past few years. One most recently finished in the midist of all is this Revell Monogram kit (which seems to be a re boxed Revell Germany offering going by the multi color piece and the 1992 Revell AG copyright). This one was purchased in a club mtg auction for a tenner sealed in September and looked like a nice kit with hardly any flash and the quad turbo V12 pulled me in! However, it has serious, and I MEAN serious warping issues and with the blu body parts being so brittle that any slight hard twist back into the right shape always cracked. This one required a lot of trimming of the chassis/interior parts in addition to careful bending and filling of warped body sections, which took about a month to do all that before it was ready for paint. Almost OOB build with the exception of swapping out the 1930's like multi-spokes for 5 spokes from a SVT Mustang Cobra. I found the Bugatti blue a bit boring and dated, so on went Tamiya Clear Red over Rustoluem aluminum cleared with Pledge. IDK if the motor is supposed to be off center if the 1:1 is like that, or could be due to atrocious warping or bad kit design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Interesting subject, I had given thought to acquiring one, but knew better. Compared to their latest, looks so tame. Good job completing it! Nice choice of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red318 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think this has also been boxed by Heller and Airfix. For me, the styling is a bit strange but your build and colour choice are pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It is a strange looking car, but taken in context of its time, I think it's a beaut! And it looks great in that red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Nice to see one of these brutes built. You deserve kudos just for taking this kit on, let alone finishing it so very well. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIL 111V Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Very, very nice work, for indeed a tough kit to assemble. Spoke wheels give a way better look than original BBS wheels included in the kit. 1st Original EB110 kit edition, by Revell Germany, remember getting the same kit in a US Monogram box back in the 90s.
