  1. Hi all,,hope alls well for ya during this madness we see around us everyday,,I guess we all get more time to build during this,,the plus side I guess. So,,dug this out a few weeks ago,,Revells Street burner series 70' Superbird. Painted with Testors quikdry rattle can,,,some minor wiring/plumblng,,added a hood scoop{it looked kindof neat when I mocked it up} Hand painted all else. Funny though,,there was no Rdrunner cartoon decal for the side rear wing spars/supports,,maybe a licensing thingee. Anyways,,stay safe,,and enjoy whatever building you do get a chance to do.

    Lindberg Fiat Topolino Dragster 1/12th

    Howdy builders,,this is Lindbergs large scale Fiat Dragster,,with a few changes,,used RC tires for back,,added a radiator from the MPC 1/12 Cobra kit,, extended height of intake scoop,,used note book liner for windshield,,used a large scale trike Revell seat,,,added a fuel tank in back,,and some x-tra wiring. Kit went together well,,and it turned out ok for the shelf display. Be safe out there! https://www.flickr.com/photos/153516536@N08/49712044506/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/153516536@N08/49712046201/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/153516536@N08/49712370742/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/153516536@N08/49712372942/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/153516536@N08/49712374157/in/photostream/
  14. Great stuff guy! I watched the dakar the other day,,I couldnt imagine riding in that race,,or erzberg trials
  15. SWeet!,,love the tamiya kits,,you did well on this one
  16. Awsome,,I had the 1:1 Apple crate when I was a lad,,I always twisted the sissy bar when I jumped it doin BMX stuff w/it,,such cool bikes back in the day
  17. Hey folks,,here a a bizzare creature in styrene,,got this at a swap meet last year for 7$,,it was a glue blob in a ziplock bag,,1/2 built. Complete teardown,,striped all paint+ plating. And with only pics of it on the web,,I didnt have an instruction sheet ,,set out to rebuild. Used Truevalue red hardware store paint,,and same BLK for chassis. Hand painted everything else. It came with a bullit style fairing,,that as Steve Perry stated when we looked at it in the bag,,he found the fairing "disturbing" LOL ,,Steves awsome. And I agreed,,so Ididnt even use most if it,,I trimmed w/a dremmel all of it except the back 1/4 section of it,added gauge decals and,,it looks better ,,we can see that 350 twin honda motor better. Used steel blue duplicolor for spokes+rims+ exsaust. Had to use a different,,larger back tire. The kit supplied tire was a front tire profile,,it looked too small. So now..gonna Look for another kit to start for my social distancing edict.
