Tiger89 Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 I bought this off E-bay last week, and spent a day cleaning it up, repainting engine bay and chassis, and adding some details. What's crazy is that the guy who initially built this almost 30 years ago lives locally, and said that it had changed hands a couple times since he finished it. I have an empty AMT box coming for this kit.
zakdoggi Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 That looks neat. I like the deep dish chromies on it.
Tiger89 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Posted August 10, 2020 The builder used the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels from the '65 Riv. I'll use those for something else - I thought these chrome reverse wheels were very period-correct, remembering the J.C. Whitney catalogs.
espo Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 My compliments to the builder of this. The paint still looks fresh and I like the seat inserts. Still looks like a resent build.
Tiger89 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Posted August 10, 2020 He said it was Testor's Guards Red right from the spray can, no primer or clear. He did a good job foiling too. Early 90s build. Seat insert decals were from the latest hardtop re-release.
doorsovdoon Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Good find, it cleaned up well. I like all the old promo text on the chassis and floor. Nice model.
