BIGTRUCK Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Its not done the way George Barris did it , but its still a save. I gave up the airbrush [tired of cleaning it] so no fogging on this paint. No original decals , its missing the wind direction and wind speed indicators and correct side pipes but everything else is there. The original glass was full of glue and fingerprints, so all glass is new. I made a mold of the sled and cast a few , this one is one of the resin copies. Decals maybe from ' Gopher vintage ' , cant remember. Paint is all Tamiya. Light lenses are epoxy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Wish Round2 could find the molds for this kit. They are already using the USPS Licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nunes Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 That’s really cool! Hang a Christmas wreath on the front and tie a Christmas tree on top with the sled and you will have a nice holiday decoration to set out for folks to see.
