crazyjim Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Picked this puppy up in a trade and didn't realize there's no engine, the chassis is all molded in 1 piece, has metal axles, and is held together with 4 screws. So I built a straight out of the box build. Decided to try something different with the paint too. I used Duplicolor dark grey primer and after it dried I mixed some Pearl Ex antique silver with HOK SG100 intercoat clear and laid it down. Then a clear coat.

disabled modeler Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Jim..your welcome. Love to see the big old 60s/70s cars...classy and performance in one package. I knew it was a curbside but missed them when they were out. Some people hate curbside kits...they can make beautiful replicas just like this one.

crazyjim Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was pretty disappointed in the kit, Mark. I just assumed it was a full kit. It came out OK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
