Lobo2me Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi; Like many, I built hundreds of models as a kid. I started with WWI aircraft in 1st grade, moved onto WWII airplanes and vehicles (tanks, battleships, subs…you name it) by my 3rd year in school. I became distracted by building more significant and complex projects (like surfboards) in Jr. High. My crowning achievement was the 1:1 kit-car (FiberFab Avenger GT-12) I started in High School, which took three years to get on the road. Fast forward 50+ years. After I retired, I wondered if I might find my old Avenger on the internet. There were a lot of GT-12s, but none had any of the tell-tale signs that could have been my actual car. Disappointing for sure! After more exhaustive online searches, I stumbled on a vintage Avenger model kit. After I picked myself up off the floor, I challenged myself to recreate my original car in 1:25 scale, which reignited my modeling passion. Today, I get a big kick out of kitbashing all sorts of crazy dragsters and fictitious sports cars. Build on…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) COOL! And welcome. I had a rough Avenger with a Corvair engine for a short while, back at the dawn of time. Yours was beautiful...way better than mine ever looked. Edited January 10, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
