Don't worry, you aren't the first, and I doubt you'll be the last to make that mistake, luckily I've worked on the real thing and knew the exhaust went through the inner wing, Revell got it bang on, great rescue though...

philo426 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Yep I guess it was necessary to protect the exhaust system in rough terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philo426 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Decided to paint the seats and interior panels a sand color.Gies well with the green body.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Installed the 2 rows of seats...like the sand color!The rear seats have a black frame which was tricky to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 I got the interior panels installed.Fit was very good abd positive.I simulated galvanized metal on the front bumper by first painting it chrome silver and allowing it to dry overnight .Then I used flat aluminum and cut down paint brush to stipple it on in an irregular pattern.Pretty good results.

I can't believe I had this in my hand, this morning...Hobby Lobby has some of these....It can be had for about $25 out the door...I'm sure I'll pull the trigger by the end of the week, though...
