bluestringer Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 This will be my first auto build for 2023. Already have 2 on the shelf. Thinking of going with some type of green on this one, maybe a military color.
Zippi Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 That would be kewl. Here's a 30 that might get the juices flowing. 3

I admire you guys that can do that stuff, but I would be out of my comfort zone trying it right now.
bluestringer Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 Engine is about ready, need to wire the plugs, install pulleys and headers. Got some paint on interior parts, Tamiya X-71 Cockpit Green.

bluestringer Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 Ok, got the tires ready. Going with plain black rims with whitewalls. Also used the decals on the seat and interior panels. The last 29 I built I tried using the decals but messed them up. They came out good this time, I used some Testors Decal Set I picked up at HL. Seems to work ok, smells like vinegar, wonder if I could make my own mix. 2

Zippi Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Looking pretty good there James. I like those wheels & tires.
