Revell 1/16 Hawaiian funny car.

Hello!! New guy checking how to post pics and adding a completed build. Recently finished this kit. Have to say, there are a LOT of inaccuracies and fit issues with this kit, but it is from real old molds. Not OOB, did change the stance a bit and didn't do any plumbing. This is the most recent release with updated wheels/tires and decals.

Except for the wheels, I deplated everything. All the plated parts had a lot of flashing and fit was poor, so it was a choice of shiny but poor fit, or no seams and no shine. I need to find an alternative to painting parts that should be chromed or highly polished. Lots to learn after 30+ years of flat aircraft finishes.

That looks great!  Real race cars don't have much chrome anyway, go not show?
