Built this over the last few days box stock, surfboard came with the kit has a propeller! Didn't use one decal, suffering withdrawal symptoms. Headers in hi viz pink after the VHT (Very High Temperature) paint we used in the 70's and 80's on our beetles and kit cars we were building, stops rust but pipes have to be hot for it to stick!

Really neat, I keep thinking about doing one of these and adding those really obnoxious long valve stems to the wheels like you used to see in Cartoons when I was a kid (Trosley maybe?), but I never get around to it.

Well thanks guys, I've only made a couple of these, what I would call unusual kits, you know cartoon type vehicles. But all of a sudden I like them and perhaps It's good to build something that's loopy!

wow, beautifully built and photographed, Funny thing, the model

Well V8 Trucker, my photography was hit n miss. So I went into, Currys/PC World ( Electricals,Electronics, Camera gear, Computers, very large store) recently and bought two things.

The first was an update to an old bit of kit, a small table standing tripod. The second, something our eldest son keeps telling me to buy, a monopod, a single leg height adjustable camera stand, both are by Manfrotto. I've also started to use the telescopic button on my cheapy digital camera. So most of the pictures here are taken about three feet away, and are all in focus! We learn something new every day, well I do anyway!

I love these kits. I have a few of them in my stash. Yours came out really nice. Gives me some inspiration to start one of mine. Thank you for showing it to us, its nice to break from the norm and do something different.
