This has been on the shelf for many years collecting dust. Shot it with a water pick. Came out pretty good.

This was a cool kit. Other than paint, The only customizing I did was some plug wires and coiled radiator hoses.

Thanks guys. It didn’t take much. This was one of those kits that looked great if you just put it together. I don’t remember how old I was but I was very young then and I’m 68 now. It’s a rare kit today commanding over $100 on eBay if in decent condition.

That's a great looking build and a really classic kit. You have to wonder if maybe the tooling still exists and Atlantis has it.

The tool still exists, in modified form. It's most likely still in Revell's hands.

It's been released within the last 10 years, so the tooling is probably permanently stuck in China. Before the version Dave shared was released many were holding out hope that the previous owners of Revell would backdate the tooling to the Little T configuration like they did with the Blue Bandito (former Blue Beetle) but it's doubtful that will happen now, even though they sold out both runs of the Blue Bandito

Rick, that's a fine looking model. You did a great job and the extra detail really adds to it.
