Ron Hamilton Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Pretty nice build. It has a very nice look. I have a couple of them in my collection to be built, one of which I am going to do in white, with a blue interior, just like a friend of my Dad bought new in 1963. I was with them when he picked it up at the dealership. I love those cars.
Helix Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Like this one Ron? I could not make up my mind for the interior colour, so I decided on Black Thanks for the further comments guys Ray

mod3l Lover Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Ray that is so incredible looking! You are such a braveman that's for sure. With a kit that old and rare, I would beterrified that I would goof it up. David S.
Dann Tier Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 EXCELLENT JOB ALL 'ROUND!! the outside pics definitely show it the best! my eyes are drawn to your wire wheels -they're sweet!
CometMan Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Very well done! And not one you see every day!
Dominik Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Looks real nice Ray, love the dropped look and its great to see these old kits built up like they should be instead of sitting on the shelf.totally agreed.

Agree Dann, the chrome on these old kits is not super shiny but with a bit of blackwash they look awesome, been using the Tamiya Paneline accent colour which is amazing stuff
Helix Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 Looks real nice Ray, love the dropped look and its great to see these old kits built up like they should be instead of sitting on the shelf. Absolutely mate, pretty sure this kit is close to the $200 mark, so why buy the thing and stop there....build it so everyone can appreciate these old classics I say
Mr Stock Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Absolutely mate, pretty sure this kit is close to the $200 mark, so why buy the thing and stop there....build it so everyone can appreciate these old classics I say Totally agree, Ive got a few vintage kits and rebuilders myself, but they will all get built (eventually! lol ), just a shame these old annuals are as rare as rocking horse doo doo in the UK
Dann Tier Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Agree Dann, the chrome on these old kits is not super shiny but with a bit of blackwash they look awesome, been using the Tamiya Paneline accent colour which is amazing stuff I saw that stuff, is it water soluble and easy to use like most Tamiya products?!
Dann Tier Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Absolutely mate, pretty sure this kit is close to the $200 mark, so why buy the thing and stop there....build it so everyone can appreciate these old classics I say I agree too! I have an original Chitty Chitty Bang bang still in the plastic -cost me around $400 3 years ago, but im opening the bugger and building the heck out of it!!!!!!! I I will keep the boxes to the valued ones though. Edited December 4, 2015 by Dann Tier
Helix Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 I saw that stuff, is it water soluble and easy to use like most Tamiya products?!It's Enamel Dann and very easy to use, just make sure your window is open, the fumes are nasty!
