BubbaJoe Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) here is my next build, #2 for this year. i was hoping to have it completed by the end of last month but ran into problems. biggest one was having it knocked off the desk and shattering the whole front end ... i came close to calling it quits and actually wrapped it up in paper towels and put it back in the box. but after a day i took it back out and figured i would try and salvage the build , try to repair the damage. i had to pull the front end apart and drill out the broken posts and glue in new ones then . it came out looking better than i thought it would. this was not an enjoyable build... the chrome ,and there was a lot of it all had flashing and just to many attachment points to the sprue. Why i have no idea. some of the smaller pieces had 3 and 4 attachment points. the windshield is to small for the frame. the paint came out pretty good so i fought my way to this point. i still need to add some decals and a few more small pieces then its on to the next build.... thanks for taking the time to look and any and all comments are welcome Edited March 16, 2015 by BubbaJoe
cobraman Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I had some trouble with the one I finished not too long ago. Will look nice once the pipes are on.
wayne swayze Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Just picked this kit up today. Good to know about the windshield issues. I like your colour choice.
BubbaJoe Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 I had some trouble with the one I finished not too long ago. Will look nice once the pipes are on. did you notice any excessive flash on the chrome pieces or have problems with the windshield?
BubbaJoe Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Just picked this kit up today. Good to know about the windshield issues. I like your colour choice. i may try to cut a new one out of thin plastic and replace the one in the kit... really only one edge can be glued on my kit..hope you have better luck with yours..thanks.. i like the color so much i'm not going to add the decal flames or stripes. the body is small and i don't want to hide the paint.

jbwelda Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 this kit is derived from the old Little T, right? sure looks like it especially the front end (outside of the wheels/tires) nice build, I would finish it up! jb
DumpyDan Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sharp, this is a fun build put one together a couple years ago.

cobraman Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 did you notice any excessive flash on the chrome pieces or have problems with the windshield? I only used half the windshield and cut the posts down.
