Looks great!

Looks like it was worth the effort.

Nice!

There are many like it but this one is mine. Third in a string of Round 2 reissues that I have built. Straight OOB with Tamiya TS53 dark blue metallic and trim done with a silver Sharpie.I did the interior in all black without much detailing since it is completely wrong anyway. Chassis is overall Rustoleum flat black. Did a black wash in the grille and between the tail lights and that is pretty much it. Makes a nice shelf sitter. I think I made the side trim too wide from looking at pics on the internet.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Cool models and interesting back stories.

Looks like George Barris ate some magic mushrooms ?

One of my guilty pleasure songs is Dave Brubecks Take Five. When this song came out it very hip and made you seem hip if you were playing it.

And another get well from me.

Man, I love that thing.

This radio once belonged to my grandfather. He bought it back in the sixties just to listen Cincinnati Reds ball games because he couldn't get them on TV where he lived (only got one channel back then). When I acquired it I cleaned 55-60 yrs of nicotine buildup off of it and put batteries in it and it works just fine. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing it as there posts about old stereo equipment etc. As you can see the back cover is in poor shape and I wish I could make the tuning knob clear again. Also the little button operated light for the tuner dial doesn't work anymore. When I first turned it on I was reminded of what 60 cycle hum does to AM signal.

Very well done!

I like it. It's always cool to see what others do with this old kit. It may not be accurate but it makes a good blank canvas.

Beautiful! Looks like the real thing.

That's crazy! I do remember Goodyear making tires in different colors during the seventies and Don Garlits ran orange front tires on his first rear engined car for a period of time. Didn't catch on with the public.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Thanks again for the kind comments. I have since touched up the little white nubs in front of the radiator.lol I think naugahyde is just a fancy word for vinyl lazlow.?

Looks good ,although I'm not a big fan of those wheels.

Looks very good.

Horn as a wiper motor hahahahaha. I've been telling people about this for years and they still keep sticking the horn on the firewall. LOL

Thanks for the kind comments everyone and to be honest Patrick, I did feel a little guilty when I cut off the windshield frame

I like it!
