ea0863 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Loving that red flake! Is it in the plastic itself, or painted on?
ybsluos Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Very nice color combo and again….that flake! -Mark
PatW Posted October 24, 2022 Author Posted October 24, 2022 Thanks guys. Yes the plastic in the kit other than the chrome items is clear metalflake plastic moulding.
TooOld Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Very cool that it's molded in red metalflake ! Looks great Pat !

crazyjim Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Pretty cool. I had an Empi Imp for a couple of years.
espo Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Great looking Dune Buggy and the big metal flake paint job brings back some memories.
PatW Posted October 24, 2022 Author Posted October 24, 2022 Thanks guys, both the Manx builds shown are in clear metalic/metalflake moulded in manufacture. Paint used on the driver/passenger area only, with clear blue acrylic on the wipers and engine housing and clear orange on the front indicators.
JTalmage Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Way cool. I have one I believe that is also molded in red flake.
PatW Posted October 25, 2022 Author Posted October 25, 2022 Thanks guys, super kit! If you build one stick the tyres on the wheel rims. I used super glue! The tyres tend to be a slight bit big and soft rubber so when attached to the chassis the tyres roll off the rims!
