cobraman Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Many of us older folks may have very well built kit some years ago . I know I did . Decided I wanted to take a crack at it again . This one isn’t too much better . I had some problems with this kit but I won’t blame the kit but rather blame myself . I did kind of rush it because I had a different kit I wanted to work on. Anyway , I wanted to do it as the box art . Was surprised to see the side decal so darn small . Painted it with Tamiya TS - 20 Metallic Green and WLC as the clear coat . Not great but should look ok on the shelf . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Looks pretty dang good from here! Beautiful shade of green, I need to get some of that! Can't help but wonder why you didn't pull the wide black stripe down over the hood and deck lid? I think that would look "racy"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 That's a fantastic looking version of that kit, well done! I do agree, the decal looks like it deserves an apology from AMT. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogger44 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Well done Ray, especially for a quick build. I agree about the decals and wonder why they're not bigger. Is that stance straight out of the kit or did you raise it? I really didn't have a desire to pick up this kit, but seeing yours now has me thinking maybe I need one.

cobraman Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Thanks . Yes , I did raise both end. Just did not sit right stock . Just added some blocks in the rear and made a simple plastic tube front axle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmann68 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I’ve almost bought this kit a couple times but didn’t. Yours makes me want it! You did a great job making it pop. Love that stance! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Nice one Ray ! I've always liked this kit but they really missed the boat with those decals . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Thanks guys. Ya, that decal was a huge disappointment. I should have at least set them back a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
