3men2s Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 After decades of having this kit in the closet, Decided to built it, but not box stock because that is just foul. After looking at lots of reference pics and watching old footage of races I was ready. I know I had to be super careful with this old decals and in many places they cracked and broke off so I had to use paint and markers to repair the best I could. I was able to make a decent job I think. Mod the body as you can see in the pics. Also added details to the interior. Glad I was able to finish a model after so long out of the game. Thank you for watching and keep building and posting because it was the motivation I needed to start building again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Great job. Detail and finish work came out very good. Tell me though, why did you go through the effort to alter the rear wheelwells? You said that you pulled research photos to mimic but I've never seen any pics of that car with wheelwells that looked like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
