Hmann68 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Hi all…I was able to finish the roadster today from the Tony Nancy double kit. It’s been about a year I guess since building the silver car. This one fought me a little, just as the other did, but all in all it went pretty well. I wasn’t sure about the color shade of this car but I had some leftover Tamiya Italian red, so why not use it up! Both cars look great next to each other I think! As always thanks for looking and comments are welcome and appreciated ?? 8 1
larman Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Great job! Those are 2 fiddly kits, but you really built them cleanly!

Nitrobarry Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 The color is fine. The photos of back in the day tend to fade over time so it`s difficult to get the color right. That said you take your best shot and you did great! Nice models!

You can look at 10 old photos of the same vehicle and it’ll be 10 different shades lol ?
Rattlecan Dan Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 A Dynamic Duo for sure! Those are tough kits I'm told. You did a great job on em'. Thanks for sharing.

Bainford Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Both are beautiful. Nice clean work. It's good to see these old Revel kits built with care and attention. Lovely work all around. The silver dragster is my favourite of the 60s slingshots. I have the Tony Nancy double kit on the shelf, and that dragster is calling out to me every time I'm at the bench. I'll have to get that one built soon. Seeing the nice work on yours is certainly inspiration. 1

I too love the silver car, just a really nice looking car ?
Zippi Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Those two models look Great. Nice job. You had to be a little crazy back in the day to drive that red one down the track. If that rear end let go your boys were in for a world of hurting ? 1
