Fantom

Repaired

I’ve been working on this for awhile now. Major fit issues, the arms where either not sculpted correctly or something went wrong in the casting process, because both arm would not sit flush at the seam…you can see in the pics I used styrene and lots of super glue to fill the gaps. Another issue I had was lines in the casting as though the mold halves were misaligned. Some of these are visible on his back. These lines were on his back and both legs and very hard to get rid of. I fixed his arms by shoving milliput into the joints and re sculpting and I’ll post pics of the primered repair later tonight. Notice the unrealistic lay of his jacket around his equipment. I was disappointed in the quality.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love that grill!!!

Very nice!!!

Beautiful build of a beautiful car!!

Nice truck!!

When this kit was released I knew I had to build it, not being a huge truck builder I wasn’t sure how I wanted it, then I saw the AMT decals included with the kit and I knew. This is my idea of what AMT/Round 2 would haul the millions of kits sold by the thousands of hobby stores around the country. Yea… right… anyway… Moebius wheels…big stacks and a Texas bumper…seats and visor from the parts bin and I made bigger fuel tanks. It’s not my best but I’m happy with it.

Thanks…seems thats what I’m gonna have to do… cant seem to get ahold of gw trucks

Looking good…enjoy the build …it goes together sooo smooothly

Well …does anyone know of a resin hood that is currently available?

Can someone please tell me what kits represent the long hood 359. I’m pretty sure the Revell kit with opening doors is the only one but I’m not sure. thanks

Great looking truck…definitely looks the part!

I watch EBay all the time for these kits…never any at a price I’m willing to pay.

Thanks….I am really hoping they re-issue this kit….it’s one of my holy grails

Nice work!! Where did you get the hinges for doors?

Another small update gloss coat on ….interior finished and a mockup

Man that looks great!!!

Small update

Outstanding workmanship!!! The engine and paint are gorgeous!!!

Been at this for a couple weeks now…Cant say enough about this kit…goes together very well so far. I’m going for a restored but working truck.. paint is all Tamiya decanted and shot through airbrush, bright red and black. I will be using the big white stripe decals that the kit supplied. …more to come

I just measured mine…it’s 225 inches

Terrific…I’ve had mixed luck with Mitches…excellent sculpting but some pretty tough to fix casting issues. Great work!!!

Very nice!! How did you feel about the quality of the castings?

Be careful…those can be addictive…I started out with a stock Clod and ended with this 2 years later.
