Saw the Old Trapper many times when I was a kid... at Speedway Park in Edmonton ,Alberta. It was pretty much unbeatable in it's class. Cheers...

Amazing creation...

Built the gangbusters version last year... actually a nice kit to build. Cheers

Great build !

Very very nice build of a great car... Cheers Dan

Very nice detail...

It turned out OK considering it's my quickest build ever... Thanks DanL

Really well done Roadkill style...

Thx for that... Cheers

nice....

Great build...

Thank you ... Cheers DanL

Thanks guys...

My Tri-Tone Chevy II turned out pretty good...

You are right... not a very good kit and the green plastic is nasty, but this is the second one I have built so I new where most of the problems were. Cutting the dash back about a 1/4 inch solves the major body fitment issue.

Thanks for looking guys... Cheers

I bought this kit just for the traction bars to use on the build of the replica of my old street machine from the 70's. I completed that last year and thought I may as well put this together too. I did my version of a SS 454. Cheers DanL

The decals were quite a job. They were pretty good quality so that helped, but they had decals for everything... even the door handles!

A few more pictures....

Nice work on this old model... I believe this is the first model I ever built when I was 8 years old... yours looks much better than mine did Cheers

Thx a lot guys.... Cheers

Some additional pictures...

Great kit from Tamiya. Very well designed and a real treat to build until the very last step of fitting the body on the chassis at which point it becomes a nightmare. So many kits fail badly in this last step and often all your hard work get ruined as you fight to complete it. I would still give this model a 9 out of 10 for the fit, finish and final result. Almost all parts need to be painted separately and there are over 60 decals to put on but in the end it is a very satisfying build.

Very nice...

Nicely done
