Justin Porter Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Another dead project off my long-term shelf! lol This is the MPC 1/25th scale Dodge Dora which I have had hanging out in my "stalled projects" queue for about eight years. I finally decided just to button it up even though I discovered somewhere in among several house moves I lost the driver's seat. Oh well! Paint is Testors One Coat Lime Ice over Tamiya Fine White Primer.
espo Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Great looking color and finish. This was such a unique custom and this build really captures the look of the original except for the color but I think this looks better.
Nosferatu Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Nice job and nice color! I build one of these and had an issue with that front windshield/door as it's very finicky and doesn't lay right. Is that your workroom, if so it's AWESOME? It looks like a hobby shop.

The front windshield was definitely finicky. I clamped the frame to the glass as the glue - AK Interactive Wolverine PVA - dried which straightened it out some but it's still not the greatest fit. Oh well. Typical MPC imprecision. lol As to the workspace, Thank You! It looks like a hobby shop because it is! It's Haven Hobby in Elyria, Ohio, which I own and operate with my Dad.
bisc63 Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Nice job, one of the more attractive builds of this kit I've seen in a while. Color is a nice change from traditional. Well done.
David G. Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Nice buildup good color, well worth the wait. The world's only mid-engine pickup! David G.
