TooOld

I was looking for something quick and easy so I grabbed this out of my stash , mainly because I love the Box Art ! Fourteen days start to finish which is great for me since I only get an hour or so at my bench every day .It's built right out of the box except for lowering the front and adding a distributor and coil . The chassis is just one piece with only a front axle and wishbone being separate parts , so I did a little creative painting to pick out some of the details . The only issues I found with the kit are the fit of the windshield frame and the taillights seem way too big to my eyes . . . I almost left them off ."Snake Eyes" is painted Tamiya Metallic Red topped with Clear Red to tone down the metallic . I finished it off with a 1966 Florida plate , which is the year this kit was released .

Where can the rest of us get a set of these ?

Really interested in the Cougar , it looks beautiful ! Will the caster be announcing here ? I don't do Facebook .

Nice one ! That Royal Plum with red interior and Redlines looks great !

Thanks guys ! The older kits can be fun if you ignore the inaccuracies and just build'em .

Thanks very much guys !

Beautifully done !!

Nice ! The '66 was a very good looking body style .

Thanks Dave ! Yep the Lindberg kits were all over the place as far as box art and parts go , even the scales don't match at times . The body on this one seems to be 1/32nd but the chassis and wheels & tires appear to be 1/24th scale .

Thanks much Ray ! Thanks Dave ! Yes it is , and you could say that the rear spring is de-arched giving the car a nice lowered look .

Super clean and beautifully done ! What paint did you use ?

That's pretty freaking cool ! Never seen one built before and now I want one ! Sooo is it Titanium Gold or Ford Sunburst Gold ?

Thanks very much gentlemen , it's much appreciated !

These early Lindberg kits have a reputation for lacking detail and accuracy but they had some pretty cool box art , which is the reason I bought this one . This kit has quite a few parts compared to the other Lindberg kits and some parts have some have decent details molded in but most are typical . All I added was the plug wires and a firewall . I did miss a few simple things like the windshield and roll bar not fitted properly because I was working so quickly , still it was a fun little build ! Here's the contents of the kit . And the finished model .

Beautiful Roadrunner ! Simple clean and it looks great in red !

Beautifully done !

That looks super nice , excellent work John !

Beautifully done ! Love this look with the wheel and tire swap .

Great variety of subjects ! Love the Honda Monkey and BD-5 , and can't wait to see the Lola finished !

Thomas I love them all , great classics each one of them !

Great variety of subjects and excellent work on them all ! Looking forward to more in 2021 .

It's the FIRST and it looks GREAT !

That's purty ! Always liked the lines of those GP's .

Great Mustangs Snake ! Looks like you had a pretty good year !

Very nice ! I've played a little with Paint and other than included shapes all of the lines are done freehand , not an easy thing to do . Again you've obviously had a lot of practice . I've been using Paint.net for many years now for most of my stuff and I have Corel Draw when I need to do artwork for decals . Paint.net is FREE and is like MS Paint on Steroids ! You might try it , once you get used to the features it's amazing what can be done with it . They also have a forum for help and to add all kinds of fancy stuff to it .
