Monogram's Green Hornet

[spike morelli]

Another one of those great sixties model car kits. This kit was actually patterned after a real show-and-go drag car called the "Grasshopper". I haven't strayed much from the kit version. I changed the wheels to some more closely resembling the real car's wheels, I replaced the multiple "v" belt blower drive with a gilmer belt drive, and I left the fenders and top off. I think I put a different grille insert in too. I've never put a prime coat under the finish coat of paint ( unless I've puttied or modified something ), I fairly good with spray painting, even though I have an airbrush, this is green metallic right from the rattle can. I like the early hot rod kits, and I have built most of 'em. Appologies again on the photo work, the camera has an auto-focus, but I need to work on better clarity. Enjoy!
