Another Revell GMC Syclone, hopefully a little different...

[avidinha]

I've enjoyed following your build. When I saw the wheels you were trying to replicate, I knew I had seen something similar in a kit. I finally remembered. These are in a Lindberg '40 Ford I'm working on.

Still not exact, but maybe a little closer.

Those wheels would be "good enough" in my book, too!

Really enjoying this project.

If you want them, PM me your address and I'll send them to you.

"Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" 

First shot of Tamiya pink primer.  And boy-oh-boy, just look at those issues!    I did shoot a coat of red over this pink primer as a test (spoon) and the pink really brightens the red.

Thank you.  I'm moving kind of slow.  I have a couple of other projects that I'm working on for a local club contest.  As always, too many irons in the fire.

Thanks, Andrew!  Wheels arrived today - now I have more choices! (meaning - what should I do?)

I'm still moving kind of slow on this one.  I am trying to finish a 1/72 Mustang for a local contest (I shouldn't have entered, but I'm sooo close).   Then, it's back to the Syclone!

Very cool project,and good progress to this point, well done.

Now I’m really wanting to get my hands on another one of these GMC Syclone kits. Then build it how I did one 20 years ago, or so.

Too many irons in the fire '  I have not herd that quote since my dad died. He loved quotes. I know it’s not owned by him but thanks for the memory!

The other day, I was able to order the two models that I’m needing to build my own GMC Syclone. Mine will be painted the same color as my S10 BAJA project. My inspiration is from a Johnny Lightning truck.

Awesome and I look forward to seeing your work!

I really need to get back to this one.

With permission from Jonathan, I’ll be posting parts of my GMC Syclone here, and I’m calling mine Saltie’s Syclone. I had this Johnny Lightning Syclone, at one time, and did a model of it 20+ years ago, lost that first build, so doing another one. I’m going to be painting mine the same color as my S10 BAJA project was.

I’ll be using these wheels and tires on mine. Pulled them from a Revell ‘65 Chevy Stepside 2 ‘n 1 kit.

I’m going to clear the kit tonneau cover, but I’m also going to be building these into a custom tonneau cover as well.
