My dad says, things are worth what people are willing to pay for it.If nobody wants it, its worth nothing.He sells antique car stuff,signs,parts anything gas related.Myself I would build it.I can guess,your not gonna get rich,maybe $30 tops.
Nice to see your building this kit.It sat in the pantry for over a year at my house.I like the color you chose should look sweet when your done.Lets see more.
There is almost always an indent for the white wall on the tire.I mask the whole tire then use a tooth pick to define my cut line.Then cut with new blade,peel the area I want to paint and spray it flat white.The paint will never dry on the rubber,so one day,it hit me why not put some future floor wax on the painted area.Low and behold it worked,now I can touch them and their dry.I don't know about the long hall.I just stumbled on to this like 2 weeks ago.It might peel of like a scab after a year or 2 on the shelf,I don't know.Has anybody else tried this?Here is a pic of the first attempt.A little ruff but still I think it came out pretty good for first try.
Thats gonna look cool.Whats you meen white wall O-ring?Are they real O-rings or is that what they call that style of tire?Oh,if it is an O-ring where does one get them...LOL
Mike I think those rims belong on trucks IMO.As for the belt I had one on my 1:1 Scout.I guess there a long life belt they had a stronger material than the normal black ones,Had a different texture to them also.Don't know if they sell them anymore tho.Probly lasted to long.LOL
I tend to get bored with builds at certain stages and move on to others.So heres yet another I got bored with some time ago.The International Scout by AMT.It started with a bad paint job thats why it went back to the box.Then I ended up with a few pairs of donk rims I wasn't gonna use on a car and said lets see if I can use em on a truck.They worked out. Then I redid the paint and added decals from a Cougar lowrider kit.And this is how she sits now.
A little update.I mentioned earlier I wasn't pleased with the paint,so I took Mike Mc's adivice and aded another color.Flat black with flake then clear.Hows she look now?I think he was rite.Thanks Mike!
