Fairfax Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hello, everyone. Trumpeter's kit did well, beautiful and clean with embellishments, but the plastic doesn't stick well with solvent glue. A second adhesive must be used. Plastic also crumbles a lot. I used the wheels from 76 'Ford Torino by Revell. I attach photos in the sun and in the shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevez Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Tremendous, great build, I know that kit was bashed when it came out, sure looks good to me. Surprised there's any kits left of this model, never heard worse reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Very nice, love the color combo. Some of the pics it could pass for a 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Great looking build. I have one of these kits, but after reading the horror stories, been afraid to try it, but after seeing this, I may give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairfax Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thank you so much, guys. For Steve Zajac and Tom Billings: It's a nice kit. The only negatives are that the plastic material is fragile and not stuck with regular model glue. Also, the pay chassis isn't very pretty. Some of the clutches weren't very deep, such as the front window frame on the roof. I also, unlike the manual, glued the inner back into the body so it could be coloured as a whole and not glued to it until it was dyed. Be sure to build it.Go ahead ! :-) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
