MPC's "Racers Wedge" build

[eran_k]

So i started working on the MPC 72 Chevy "Racersa Wedge", kit is quite basic but ok. engine is quite nicely detailed.

had a badly warped hood, so i tried to fix it with some heat and clamping to a straight surface, which helped a little.

main body and the ramp are primed with surfacer 1200, still debating on a color. I'm thinking either metallic lime green or  yellow.

chassis is painted and other small bits and pieces are in the process.

Green was selected, the cab interior is painted in a non metallic green i found in my paints, seats and other details will be hand painted in different colors.

Looking very nice!

engine done and attached in place, interior tub also done.

next will be clearing the body, assembly, decals and some more detail painting.

the grill on this model is quite bad i know it will give me griefs...

You're making this old kit look mighty fine!

This is looking good.  I like the interior.

I agree with the other's, great work so far.

Like the added color detailing on the bucket seats. This makes the interior look more interesting than all one color.

Moving on, cleared (although clear coat was never my best skill), glass and interior tub assembled, grill assembled - turned out better the i excepted.

cab and ramp mocked up on frame, no major issues so far, i think i need to raise the ramp a bit to line up with the cab

Love your build, beautiful interior!

Added some black wash to the grill, detailed painted and decals applied (still need to to the other side of the ramp)

Also aligned the ramp better by adding some plastic strips on the frame, i think it came out pretty good

That is very cool.  I must get this kit now.  ?

it's basically done, i'll add some accessories once i finish the car that will be on the ramp (will open a thread in the cars wip)
