James2 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) This started as a $5 swap meet bomb, I was very reluctant to do the chop for all the reason we have heard. To hard, not necessary, You'll screw it up.... But for five bucks and some styrene nights I think it turned out pretty good. It is by no means perfect or close for that matter, but... I think I have learned enough to attempt another chop on a Revell kit this time... I took about a 3" chop on the roof, the skirts or from my stash of vintage wheel skirts the wheels are from my parts box. The blue is a mix of Tamiya Mica Blue and clear over silver and the white is TS Racing White. It is a slammer for the sake of finishing it up and moving on to the next project. I added my own chrome trim and drip edge also. Edited April 8, 2016 by James2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Tasty. A well done custom. From where i'm sitting I only see the need of a little wash on the grille and nothing more wrong with it. I would be proud of this baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
