unclescott58 Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Another fun Tom Daniel model kit. A reasonably easy build. I left the body, other than the seats, unpainted. Painting everything else. The one thing I do not like on this kit are the decals, reading “Li’l Van” for the “C” pillars. So I left those off. All in all, I think it turned out fairly well.

TonyW Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 That's a very clean looking build. Leaving the body in bare plastic is a good idea, A real buggy would have been gell coat fiberglass finished I think, so your method replicates real life practice.

CabDriver Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 I like these kits! I don't believe them when they say it's 1/24 though... ?

stavanzer Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Neat. This kit is a variant of the Monogram Sand Crab buggy. I had both many years ago. The Sand Crab was a Hot Wheel too. http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/sand_crab.html http://www.showrods.com/images/sand_crab/sand_crab_top

But it’s a little harder to find. 1
