aurfalien Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi, This was a sneak in between builds build (1/25 MPC CanAm) which was missing tires, wheels and headlights. So I improvised. It's a great kit, full of serious potential into making a mega full detail if one desires. Like what Phildaupho is doing with his Lola T70 which is spectacular. Imagine that level on this kit; WOW!. I did notice that my Tamiya Lacquer Flat Clear gummed up and buggerfied the tires so I had a hell of a time fixing that. So I switched to Tamiya Flat Clear acylic. Anyways, a GREAT kit and GREAT fun.

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Very nice, clean, and one we hardly ever see built up. This makes me want to dig the one out that I bought just for the engine, and build it just as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 That's cool. I didn't know anyone made a kit of that car. I saw a video about it on YouTube on the Petrolicious channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phirewriter Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) I agree!!!! I have a few of the reissued versions plus both originals unfortunately poorly built, but in mint boxes. I still see the roadster version cheap so I don't know if sales would merit retooling/backdating the the kit but we can hope. That being said I really like this build, I think the different wheels give it a cool vibe. Looks more international I guess is the best way I can describe it while the mag's that came in the kit certainly gave it the more American bred/built look. Cool!!

aurfalien Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I just learned something front his post.It's to dust off the model before taking some pics.The rear has a ton of dust spots on it as do the tires, bummer.
