Rick L Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 This has been on the shelf for many years collecting dust. Shot it with a water pick. Came out pretty good. 5
Rick L Posted March 3, 2021 Author Posted March 3, 2021 This was a cool kit. Other than paint, The only customizing I did was some plug wires and coiled radiator hoses.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Just came across this one. Really nice.

Rick L Posted September 19, 2022 Author Posted September 19, 2022 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.
mr moto Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 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.

You have to wonder if maybe the tooling still exists and Atlantis has it. 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
rsmodels Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 Rick, that's a fine looking model. You did a great job and the extra detail really adds to it. I've been wanting to build one of mine, I really need to get on the ball. -Rich
