California Street 'VETTE

[Plowboy]

This kit is one of my very favorites from my youth. I can still remember my first go around with it. No paint and lots of glue! Still, I thought it was so cool! Heck, I still think it's a cool model! I got this kit along with the later issued SS Hatch in a trade some years ago. As soon as I got it, I went to work on it. This time, I used paint on it! I decided that since every one you see is orange, I was going to go a different route. So, I decided to paint it with Model Master Daytona Yellow and covered it with Tamiya TS-13 clear. It's straight out of the box. 

The orange shifter knob was to pay homage to the color it "should have been". 

Thanx for checking it out!

Great looking paint finish and the trim all looks cleanly done. The Dish Slot, Ansen knock offs maybe?

, wheels are very period correct.

Wow, that reminds me of a vette that was in my neighbour hood when I was a kid, it was owned by a petite blonde with legs that went alll the way up. Nice work Roger

Thanx David! I think they're supposed to be Ansens. But, they missed the mark on them.
