Zippi Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 This has probably been posted before but I couldn't find anything doing a search. This is the Go Kart out of the AMT 1960 Chevy Fleetside pickup kit. The frame was painted with Krylon Foil Metallic Silver, the red is Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red, the black is Tamiya TS-6 Matt Black, the tires & steering wheel is Tamiya XF-85 Rubber Black, and the chains where painted with Testors Flat Brass. The steering rod in the front was broken and could not be fixed so I replaced it with a piece of paper clip. I elected not to use the seat belts as they did not look all that great. I wired the engines and installed yellow plug boots and the exhaust pipes were drilled out and blacked out. This was a fun little 3 day project that turned out pretty kewl. 1
Hans1971 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Microscopic modelling, very well done ! Much of those AMT models have a little extra, always funny.

Bainford Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 That is super cool. Very nice work on that little critter. That's one of the coolest models I've seen. And, being a stickler for detail, I see you've wired the engines in the correct firing order. Well done!

alan barton Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 That is a knockout! Somewhere I have a resin copy of this go-kart - I really am going to have to dig it out and build it now that I have seen this, easily the best version I have ever seen. I have never used Tamiya black rubber before but seeing your results I will have to check that out as well! Cheers Alan

rightrudder Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Love it! I can almost hear those tiny twin McCullochs(?) fire up. As a guy who bought a truck for the specific reason of transporting a Tony 100-cc racing kart, I can relate!
