cobraman Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Finished up today . Strange working on something where the engine is almost as large as the models you normally build. As you all probably know the kit does NOT have any chrome parts. I would have stripped most of them anyway so no big deal . Paint used was Tamiya Metallic Orange . Clear was Duplicolor 1K . Mostly built from box . Cut the windshield frame down and used only one glass panel . Had to replace some of the wires with stuff I had . They supply hose for the plug wires and it was trash . Added resin 59 Caddy tail lights . Left off the supplied lantern lights . All in all it’s not really that bad of an old kit . In the WIP a member mentioned Amazon has some , 6 I think for 60 bucks with free shipping ! Good deal . If I had more room I think I would pick up another . Still may . This one turned out pretty good I think . I see I still have a few tough ups I could do . Thanks for looking ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I love how this turned out, very nice. I see you used the stand bases as hub caps, I did the same on mine, it looks like they were made for the job. I hope you decide to build more of these, they really are a fun kit and you did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluebomber Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Really Nice Work, Ray. I'm tempted to pick up one of these kits but I don't have enough room to display it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
