Just getting settled after moving last year. I picked up this kit I started a while back to knock the rust off and get something finished. It's the 1987 reissue of the Roadrunner kit. I picked this kit because it's the first model I remember my dad building when I was a kid, 40+ years ago I was disappointed then that he didn't use the Superbird parts ?. Dad's kit is long gone , but I'm building this one as an homage to that model that got me interested in this hobby. Dad usually just painted the body of a kit and then left everything else in bare plastic. The Roadrunner was metallic blue and he put this Roadrunner decal on the doors. Fortunately I found a set of original decals recently. I couldn't bear to leave anything in that nasty yellow plastic so I tried to keep it simple with a black interior and flat black chassis. It needs another coat of Tamiya blue, and I need to finish the engine, and pick out some details, but it's far enough along that I should be able to finish it up soon.

Quick build to shake out the cobwebs. Stock half of the AMT double kit, I got it off eBay for $5. Paint's not the best but I had fun building it. I have the fruit wagon and depot hack in the pile to join it. Next to the slump I'm trying to bust! I've been working on this Indy car for 2 years, not done yet, 1974 McLaren. Looks pretty cool next to the T, we've come a ways in 50 years.
