Thanks guys! And yes, fun project you’ll enjoy it ?

Happy Holidays to everyone. Finished up this big project last night. It went together well, although the body panels were a bit finicky. Tamiya paints, and I wasn’t sure what shades to use but I ran across Safire6’s post of this kit from a couple years ago and thought it looked great so I borrowed his color idea. ? It’s built box stock with the exception of the blower belt that I wasn’t a fan of, so I made my own with Gorilla black tape and it looks good actually. The frame had a slight warp from the box but I managed to get it a lot straighter. Thanks for looking! ?

Super cool! Nice work! ?

Looks great! Nicely done. Shirley had cool looking cars ?

Quite a bit more work done today. Finished the front end and steering assembly and got her up on wheels and tires. Getting really fun now!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the kind words! ?

Hi all….I’ve never posted in WIP before, there’s an awful lot of major talent around here, but I thought oh what the heck. I had gallbladder surgery a couple weeks ago and am off work for a while. Crazy how much bench time you can get when work isn’t involved ?. Anyway I’ve got a few of these 1/16 in the stash and grabbed this one off the stack. I decided to do a box stock build and just have fun with it. I’ve made good progress and should be wrapping it up soon. Safire6 posted his beautiful build of this car a few years ago and it sparked my enthusiasm! I used his pics on occasion for reference including the Tamiya paint numbers. Hopefully he doesn’t mind. I didn’t like the rubber band blower belt, so I made my own out of black Gorilla duct tape. BTW, I usually spray Molotow thru my airbrush for chrome duties, but tried Revell’s Chrome Spray for kicks, and besides it being a bit costly it is as good or better than anything else in my opinion, and dries a lot faster and seems to be a bit more durable. Anyway thanks for looking and I hope everyone had a great holiday! ??
