70 Sting

Totally worth all the aggravation you went through with the paint! ??

Exceptional work!

Very nice! Great engine work.

Looks good without the wheel flares. Weathering on the chassis looks absolutely perfect. Outdoor photos on that background look 1:1. ?

Very clean build. The chrome, emblems and badges look great!

Lovely tribute. Turned out great!

Lookin’ good. ? Awesome that you stuck with it! ? I’m a fan of X-22 as well, however it’s a dust magnet like Alclad Candy enamels. It takes forever to dry and feels ‘soft’ for quite a while. A few things I’ve tried over the past couple years: vacuum the room; vacuum and wipe down the booth with a damp cloth; spray-mist the air/room with water from a pump bottle to pull dust out of the air and stop it from coming up off the floor; brush off the model with Tamiya’s anti-static brush (don’t know if this really works, but why not); and to get really anal, don’t wear long sleeves.

Wow, she’s a beauty. ?

Thank you @Smitty. It’s been great to reconnect with the hobby. Sure beats mindless scrolling on social media. ?

Perfection. Looks like a die cast.

Great looking build with a nice story behind it.

Thanks Jonathan. I consider carpeting a ‘plus’ going forward for convertibles. Not entirely convinced it’s necessary in closed cabin vehicles where it can barely be seen. :^)

Very slick. ?

Hi Andrew, unfortunately I no longer have the video. However, I can tell you that the front wheels are the easiest to install. All you have to do is shave down the wheel hubs (where they attach to the rotor/spindle). This will allow them to slide inward. Just make sure you have enough material left on the wheel hubs to attach them to the spindle. If not, you could always mount them flush against the rotors. As for the rear, the axel needs to be shortened. To do this, cut a small section from each side between the differential and the drums. Gonna have to do a little measuring or just remove tiny sections and test the fit. This will allow your wider wheels to fit into the wheel wells. After completing the above step, the leaf springs will no longer attach in their intended locations. Just relocate them in a similar fashion as in photo #12. Hope this is clear enough. Good Luck!

Very fine work. ?

Great looking car.

Nicely done! Looks authentic to the time period.

One word: “Stunning”

Turned out beautifully. Great interior. ?

Absolutely beautiful build with an awesome interior. ??

What a great build! Realistic wheels. Love the partially rolled down windows. ??

Super-realistic!! Great job again Mario.

Beautifully done. Excellent detail on the interior.?

Excuse me while I run out to my local hobby shop… ?

Sharp looking car. Colour suits it perfectly.? Not a kit for the faint of heart. Working doors can be a challenge.
