Old car, new progress. After a fall carrying the car into a show I put it away for a while. In the last couple weeks I took the car completely apart, resoldered the metal frame, repaired the plastic frame, repainted the frame and got a new driver figure. The new driver has separate arms so I was able to add the steering wheel. Next is wired magnetos, fuel lines, oil lines, and a new body.

For Thunderhawk's wheels i would like to get something that favored the ones on the toy. What do you guys think?

Filling and new nose piece for the underbelly

Air intake box for the jets

The seats came from a die cast Mustang

My origional Hurricane and Scorpion are in some of the earlier pics. I'm also planning on displaying Gator and Raven in false water from model rail roads.

Two more cars for the M.A.S.K. project Hurricane 57 Chevy Scorpion 72 GTO

In flight

Wow!!! This is one BAD Ford. This is my kind of kitbashing. I'll be watching.

I am so glad to see so much interest in this build. I can't wait to start on the other cars.

I am doing the truck. I'm not sure what kit it is i got it as a wreck at a swap meet.

Armerment: instead of laser guns my Thunderhawk will have a pair of M1919 machine guns courtesy of the Batmobile.

Underbelly, complete with bombay doors.

I gotta check this out. Is the Tamiya Frog RC the inspiration behind this project?

Mockup

Dash

More bodywork and a new tail fin. I'm going to modify a Countach fin. David: i don't have anything else from the Mach III. The body was in with other junk bodies i got at a show.

Door jambs, more complicated than they look.

Any new progress on the Coyote?

Filling in the roll pan. Door jambs are next.

More of the new underbelly

Aerodynamic underbelly with air intakes for the jets.

Modified to fit better.

Finally found something to deflect the thrust from the engines to the thrusters.
