Reeves Racing Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Revell kit with Fujimi/Testors wheels and tires, and headlights and rock guards. Scratch made exhaust and the rear wheel openings put back to OEM shape (the kit comes with them radiused). Engine wired and detailed up.
f1ford48 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 just like SCCA Racing in the mid-late 50s nice graphics-very authentic looking
Phildaupho Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Cool looking racecar. I like the exhaust system
ChrisBcritter Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Great job on both little Porsches! Did you use '58 Impala taillights on the 356?
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Probably the best job I've ever seen anyone do on that less-than-stellar ancient Revell Speedster kit. I've got a couple on the shelf, pull one out occasionally to look at it, see how bad it is, and put it away again. The old Porsche racers still looked just like that deep into the 1970s, when I got out. Simple roll bars, etc. The Flintstone 550 kit has some issues as well, but you did a nice job on that one too. Good looking models.

No those are the kit taillights actually. The the kit head lights were a big chrome disk with faint headlight prism markings and a big pin mark right in the middle... 50 minutes ago, Ace-Garageguy said: Probably the best job I've ever seen anyone do on that less-than-stellar ancient Revell Speedster kit.

Good looking models. Thanks, the wheels and tires and the headlights are the worst with this kit. The flash was terrible too. The Fujimi parts make all the difference, the kit engine is basic but with a little love looks pretty good. And you always have to make the seatbelts nice on a roadster...

vintagercr Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 That is awesome, they can be a finicky kit to build.
GlueTube Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Luv the color theme. Catches the 50's/60's flavor nicely. Regards Brian Kroon
Bainford Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 That has to be the nicest build I've seen of the old Revell kit. It has a great period vibe. I really like this one. Very nicely done.
