'71 Roadrunner

[JJ Deuce]

Still have to add license plates and some decals, but I got this thing more or less finished tonight.  As I stated in the workbench posts, I built this kit as kind of a tribute to a model my dad built when I was a young kid.  It is the first model I remember, so I think it's what started me in the hobby.  This is the 1987 reissue of the MPC '71 Roadrunner, molded in the terrible yellow plastic.  It's not exactly like the kit Dad built but it reminds me of it, and that's what I wanted for the shelf.  I didn't do any extra detailing, other than foiling the front and rear window trim, and trying out the molotow pen for the rest of the chrome.    I'll take more pics later - my camera battery was dying so these two were all I could get.
