spencer1984 Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Can't go wrong with a Riv. Now if only someone would release a boattail kit... Edited May 31, 2021 by spencer1984
Snake45 Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Looks good! Next time you're at the Rustoleum store, try a can of their Cobalt Blue Metallic (I get it at Walmart). It's very easy to use and looks great. I've done two cars in it and will do more. Model on!

NOBLNG Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 I really like these cars too. I have one that I haven’t built yet. Thanks for the heads up on the fit issues. Nice job.?

dimaxion Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Excllent Replica . Yes , the parts fit and finish of these deacades of Kits lack precision . Kits indeed , not shake and display . Thanx
