happy grumpy Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Yet another Christine . I don't think this particular car would be this popular had it not been for that little movie made from the Stephen King novel of the same name. Being a big Mopar fan I won't complain. The first paint job was a disaster, the second time it went well so here it is , waiting in the corners for her next victim. The build pretty well despite the delicate suspension and steering parts. I left the belvedere script untouched, the difference barely noticeable. Tamiya spray red and pure white coated with TS 13. The big flaw in this kit is the curved side trim that I had not corrected, I have seen others that did it and it make a whole difference. At least it's a decent representation of an iconic movie car so I am ok with it. Hope you like it too. If you read that far, thanks for looking. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job! Thank you Eric. Movies are a powerful medium. they have a way of increasing the value of certain cars (think Bullitt) On 9/16/2022 at 10:46 AM, 1959scudetto said: Perfect, Mario !
