Kit Basher

AMT kit. The paint is Testors Silver with some Gloss Black mixed in. I guess everybody knows this is a funky old kit with one piece chassis and interior. Still, the body looks pretty good to me and it has a decent fuel injected engine. I left it as is except trying to improve the tail lights and exhaust. I would have liked to fix the mold seams on the bumpers, but I haven't figured out Alclad and a test with Molotow looked silver compared to the kit chrome. The knockoffs looked kind of clunky to me so I left them off. Still need to add a license plate. Thanks for looking. Advice and comments always welcome.

Thanks, Jim!

If you just need a little, put on rubber gloves, go outside, and spray some in a Solo cup.

Fascinating video, Bill. Thanks!

Thanks, Pete. That's a cool article and video. I would love to see/hear one of these in action.

Congratulations, Janne! Well deserved.

Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Johnny! Thanks, Len! Thanks, Bill! Thanks, Jim!

Toronado/Deora! Cool!

Thanks Ray! Yeah, they sure did. The 1:1 is really impressive.

I've had this kit for a while. I went to see 4012 in Scranton, PA last year, and it inspired me to build it. I'm sure someone that knows what they're doing could have done a better job, but I enjoyed it. Thanks for looking.

Just gorgeous!

Thanks, Jim!

Thanks, Dann!

Thanks, Cliff!

Thanks, David!

Thanks, Chris! Thanks, Mike! Thanks, Marty!

Thanks, Carl!

Very, very nice. Love the color.

Thanks, David! Thanks, Rooster! Thanks, Joe!

Really well done! I particularly like the chassis, interior, and wheels. Great color too. I owned the SR5 version of this car back in the day, so I have a soft spot for them.

Thanks Mr. Spencer! Lindberg doesn't say what year it is, so I had to guess.

Lindberg kit. Testors square bottle "Yellow". This is a nice kit, except no brakes. Some flat washers and homemade calipers fixed that. It's far from flawless but here it is.

That came out great.

I know this is a silly question, but does your compressor have a tank, and if so, have you drained it? It's amazing how much water will accumulate in a tank in a short time.

The Tamiya Lotus Europa has a DOHC I4.
