The patina is very nice. Not exactly in 'barn find" state with a thick layer of dust, but still looks realistic. I like the turquoise too. And the slotted front mags.

I've considered hunting one of these down, but after seeing a Russian model forum where someone was correcting everything, and then stopped several years ago, I dropped the idea. You did great restoring it.

Rooting for you! I got this kit and p-e secret decal too!

Thanks for giving positive thoughts! Scratch-built pumpkin pie:

I know .... foreign car, Tamiya, a bloody Volvo to boot! But have you checked the price on eBay if any come up? I built this a long time ago.

Yea I guess it helps. I got a little distracted, have not seen this before.

I *had to* take pictures of my photos taken in 1973. I'll post only one. Who remembers the Zingers? I did these Deals Wheels, which ended up getting kitbashed later, VW over the funny car chassis. Thanks for bringing back memories Bill!

I grew up in Arizona, had no clue about big cities. Broken window theory at work. Could be some cool diorama subjects.

Appreciate your personal story about why you do this hobby! I'm sure many of us have similar "Once upon a time..." I should dig up an early picture, Deal Wheels with cardboard garage diorama displays. I grew up in Tucson, there was a hobby shop on Speedway (if I recall correctly), the classic packed, stand alone building that wasn't a chain store. I entered my first contest there. That's where I discovered real model paint, Pactra had the correct Africa Korps color. Many of the Bandai WW2 models I got at Kmart, for about $2-$3! Attached is the big diorama I made, I still have the models packed in boxes. I'm still a kid at heart.

You are doing an awesome job on that! I built the street version years ago, nice for a curbside.

You still own that? It's the only tail fin design MB produced. I grew up with this 1961 190, original wheels but dad choose wider tires. I'm not a fan of the Dub wagon wheel look. I live in a town that eats low profile tires if you don't slow down at dips.

I've been considering doing Bobby Unser's Pikes Peak Hillclimb car, since there are decals already.
