Beautiful Phil, the pic of the 2 famous gassers is fantastic!!!   You get 2 thumbs up for this one?  ??

Thanks Mike and happy New Year. It sure would have been great to see and hear those two gassers racing.

One of the nicest builds of this kit ever!  Enjoyed reading your commentary about the original kit.  I remember when this kit was released and was blown away by the level of detail.  Unfortunately, my childhood skills were not enough to ever build one without major calamities.  Everything about your build presses the right buttons... especially like the color.  Very nice!

 

Thanks Ed - I was sure pleased when the kit was re-released in white plastic. I was never happy enough with the more available AMT Willys to ever build one. It is very satisfying to finally have a SWC in the display case. Happy New Year

And a Happy New Year to you too. Yep, hearing them staging would be awesome.

Outstanding Willys!

Glad someone bumped this because i missed it when you originally posted it. One of the cleanest builds of this tricky kit that I've seen. And thanks for the heads up on the TRJ 36 reference. I'll have to keep that in mind for mine.

What base color did you use with the Tamiya TS-58 paint?  Great looking build
