It has been a long time since I have posted any of my work here. This was my entry into the 2021 Annual 24 Hour Build. It took me a little over the allotted 24 hours. I think I clocked in a total of around 30 hours. I would have finished it but decided to open the rear end by removing the molded in screen and replacing it with PE mesh. This pushed me into overtime. Once I was over I decided to replace the intake stacks. Lastly, I had issues with the gold ring tire decals so I hand painted the gold ring.
Dave, there is, or at least was, a resin model of the Corvette Summer car. I looked into it a few years ago and if I remember correctly it was around $100. Don’t quote me on that price but I remember it wasn’t cheap.
Very cool Audi! I’m not sure how I missed this one when you posted it. I only have one of these kits and I am going to do the white KFC livery. Your Audi looks sooooo good! Thanks for sharing it.
Just to add my 2 cents on AK Interactive Xtreme Metals, they are very, very nice paints. I have had good results with all of them including their chrome. I have shot a good bit of Alclad as well EXCEPT for their chrome. I could never find it in stock when I was looking for it. Alclad probably stills holds the edge for metalizers.
I think she is stunning! Very cleanly built! I really like the whole package. The color combo is so nice, the engine compartment looks good and the wheels and stance are spot on in my book. You really have done a super nice job on this one, bravo!
Love it!! These were the kits that I loved as a kid. It is great seeing them built up by adults who can do a nice job on them. Thanks for saving it and thanks for sharing it!
I used to have a small TV in my hobby room but found myself looking up at the TV way more than I wanted to. I got rid of it. Now it is a nice smaller stereo system and streaming Spotify.
Quite a number of years ago I was able to pick up this SoA from a vendor at NNL East. I walked past this beauty all day long and bought it as the vendor was packing up for the day. Forget what I paid but it wasn’t cheap. As a side note, the Stutz Black Hawk is mine too. My SoA has a small chip on the trailing edge of the tail. Interestingly you can see where the decals were located in my casting.
