Snake45 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 My first completed project of 2022. Can't call it a "build" because I didn't build it--bought it as a nice-looking builtup at the local toy show. It was SO nice that there wasn't much Snake-Fu to do to it. The windshield was loose, and eventually fell out--had to glue that back in. I sanded the tire treads, and hit the chrome wheels with some Krylon matte clear to tone them down. Did a little black painting in the scoops in the front valence, and that's about it. I believe but can't prove that this was factory-painted. I found that Revell did sell a pre-painted kit of this model, but could only find them in silver, not the nice green that's on this one. If the original builder did paint it, he or she did a REALLY nice job of it. I didn't even have to take this one apart (and couldn't figger out how to do so without breaking something). Looks nice on the shelf for $10 and maybe three hours of work. 3
bogger44 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 That does look like a nice paint job, a good shade too. I, too, remember only seeing the pre-painted silver one.
cobraman Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 I agree, looks good. Not normally a fan of much green but I do like that shade.
happy grumpy Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Nice and cool looking in this shade of green.
