AMT Piranha Spy Car

Thanks Dann, but the TV series was American, so the car is left hand drive.

No. Go to Ollies. You can get it for $9.99 plus tax. That's how I got my 2nd one.

You talked me into... went ahead and got a second one at Ollie's last Thursday after I picked another 330 dodge... couldn't pass it up.

You talked me into it, you Silver-Tongued Devil!  I just bought another one. I can use the Appliance wheels on the custom '67 Camaro I'm doing, as they also came in the original AMT '67 Camaro annual. 

And Pat, digging, your build. Any progress to report? 

Thanks Richard, just put it on here.

I saw the shows where this car was used. Interesting.

Thanks Ron.

This came out nice Pat.

Looks great Pat! Very unusual but cool build man.

I have owned one of these and sold it. Wish I hadn't.  Yours is most excellent. Great colors.

[PatW]

Thanks guys. I had a long search for one here in the UK, and as you can I finally found one. There are quite a few here now but there are huge price differences between dealers.

Great job Pat !  I can't recall if I ever saw a built one before.

[PatW]

Thanks Ray. No I hadn't seen one built, but I did a Google image search and found just a few.

Outstanding result, considering the quality of the parts. Good modeling, man! It really has a "Motorama" feel to it; love it!

I got that kit at Ollie's, and the race car / trailer kit as an early Christmas gift. Nice work on this kit!

[PatW]

Thanks guys.

How much was the race kit at Ollie's?

[Bob Ellis]

It's a cool kit. Apparently none of the actors liked the car. Too uncomfortable.

I think my daughter got the drag team from E-Bay so I don't know the cost. The single car is from Ollies.

Glad to see one of those finally built and yours looks quite good. Had the original Man from UNCLE one decades ago and while I painted it I never finished building it. Picked up a couple of the reissued ones with intensions to build one but still haven't. Your sucess with it just might inspire me to take a good look at it again. Thanks!

[PatW]

Thanks Robert. I do hope it inspires you to have a try at least.
