cobraman Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Starting this kit I got as part of my Fathers Day gifts . Decided to do the custom version on the side panel. Molding in the front and rear parts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi! Iconic design. Do you intend to chop the top, ever so lightly? CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks guys . No , I won’t be chopping the top . My past attempts at that have not been pretty . As Clint says “ a man has to know his limitations “ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Just a quick mock up . Going to add another color and clear it . Optional engine parts do not fit well and must be modified . But there is always the possibility it could be me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Looking good Ray. Some gold lace and a black edge fade might look good on that green. Just a passing thought. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I might hold both ends of the record for building speed on this kit. You got yours done in four days (!), while I'm just about to finish up one I started over 50 years ago.

cobraman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Well this is a simple kit and I m a simple builder. Except for using some BMF it's all right from the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I think my color choices were not the best. I am partly color blind and it looked good to me when I did it but not sure now. I used BMF or it would have taken be only 3 days ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
