Pink Panther rebuild

[JapesToys]

My first post as a new member....I dug out  my old collection that seems to have suffered from being (over 45 years) stored away....The Pink Panther was sprayed with clear which has yellowed. It looks peach colored. I began by stripping that off and was happy to see her all pink again!! The frame seems lacking in detail but after some research it is pretty close to the Oldsmobile Toronado which it is based on. What you see is basically it with the motor in front.. I have rebuilt the engine, have to work on the drivetrain but will add exhausts and the shock absorbers for the rear suspension to add some detail...and a stearing wheel..yup it didn't come with one... and I realise an anomoly in the plastic (show later)..I don't think I will spray clear it again maybe read up on how to polish the plastic... I am actually working on about a half dozen resurrections and I had forgotten how much pleasure it was to build...
