maltsr Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Built from the MPC kit which I recently acquired off ebay, partly started. Built OOB with the exception of parts box wheels and front tyres, painted Tamiya Metallic Orange. The windshield frame broke into three pieces when removing it from the sprue so a little careful surgery was required otherwise no real problems.
Speedfreak Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Nice build Paul, nice paint job and great save on that windshield frame! Who is Dean Jeffries? Edited May 11, 2014 by Speedfreak
krazyglu Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Neat buggy, fitting the paint work look's good. Dean Jeffries was a painter/custom car builder, he built movie car's, car's for the rich and famous and everything in between. Dean is a icon to me, I have read about him in Rodder's Journal and online.
oldscool Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 That looks great! I built one of those back when they were new.
unclescott58 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) A cool little Dune Buggy. Very nicely done. By the way, I like the wheels. Were did they come from? Scott Aho Edited May 11, 2014 by unclescott58
