Monogram Chaparral 2d

Recommended Posts

A one year freaking project comes to a close tonight! Yahoo!!!!

A moment of silence please........

Received a Monogram Chaparral 2d body many moons ago with the wishes of the owner that I would - "find a chassis" and paint a body for this please. "Keep it as close to original as possible" were the only paramenters.

Well, I am no Chris Clark (bosmek) but I think it turned out pretty well!

There was a huge crack on the starboard fin. I am guessing it was from forcing the wing back into the holes.

I had to glue it back into position, putty and paint. Not to mention clear coat to match the rest of the car!
