AMT Tiger Shark

[PatW]

I've built this box stock and added an air filter,and tyre decals. Painted in Plasti-Kote spray can Copper, not entirely happy with the bonnet, but can just running out, ordered another and it's come in the post a different shade. I suppose batches of paint colour change slightly, but it was noticably darker.
Suprised no air filter in the kit and it doesn't show one on the instructions.
Both doors opened and closed fine until I tried to get the tub in then they wouldn't close so glued them shut.

Nice build.

That's one crazy looking machine.

Ive never seen one of these actually built,  looks nice,  interesting custom  !

[PatW]

Thanks guys, yes it's a bit different.

I love it!

I can't wait to start mine.

Cheers Brian, yes now what colour?

Dunno, your color is koooool though.

I'll prolly start it after 3 builds.  The one is almost done, the 2nd is half done, the third is in the parts gathering stage.

Then I've 2 long term builds that I dabble in here and there.  Hope to post something this weekend.

I haven't seen many if ANY, either. Very nice!

I want to do one someday, and iron out the asymmetry. I have an original MPC I've been sitting on for almost 50 years, and bought a couple of the reissues a few years ago. I'm thinking of either replacing the top with something else, or just going topless with it. Have also played with the idea of making a VW-powered dune buggy/kit car type deal out of it.

Nice ! I built one many, many years ago.

Just don't see many of these built these days. Excellent build of a classic. Thanks for posting and well done.

Just for reference

Looks good, I have one I have always wanted to convert to the oringnal issue.  But I like yours.

I like you work, that is wild looking ?

The top is part of the body, so that would need slicing off, but there's another idea of how this could look, I look forward to seeing it. Yes it would look good too with VW/Corvair/Porsche power in the back, although the chassis would need serious reworking or use a beetle chassis!

Thanks guys for your comments, It's not an easy kit to build though.

[Deathgoblin]

Nice job!

Cheers Brian.

Another well-done, unique build!!, the color fits it perfectly too!

[PatW]

Thanks Dann.
