Monogram Chaparral Coupe 5/10 Update

[Johnt671]

I'm doing a simpler kit for now. These cars were my favorite race cars back in the day, and I raced many of them in 1/24 slot cars. While it's a simple kit I'm going to work on my detailing skills to make it nice.

The nose is a little rough.

The first trial fit.

It kinda looks like a Batmobile?

Years ago I bought this kit and started it, then put it away. I wasn't skilled enough to do it justice. It's build time is coming soon.

Those wheels look nice. Maybe for the other kit. New pictures.

I've never paint a figure before. so this will be fun or not!!

Primed.

I taped in intake in to see how it looked.

Drivers first time in the seat since the kit was hatched in

I've put this one away for a while. I can't do the job as good as I want and was getting frustrated with it so I need a break from this one.

Thanks everyone. I picked some white paint for it yesterdayand may go back at it when I finish my 51 Chevy build. The chassis is soaking in brake fluid now.
