Yeah Nah Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Did a few things- partially filled those horrible hinge gaps on the firewall and replaced wheels but otherwise OOB including decals.

carrucha Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Cool gasser. Nice body color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Z Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The original version of this kit was one of my first model purchases with my own money and completely built by myself. I still have the kit although a little worse for wear. I don’t think I have ever seen this car finished in this color and I think it is great! I think it works very well. I love what you have done with this kit, great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 How was the glass fit? I got one kit, looked at it and put it back in the box. I would have had to re-make the rear window opening from scratch, I don't recall how bad the windshield fit was. I built one as a kid, also the gasser style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The real car always looked like a beast to me. You did a great job with this as a gasser. Good looking colors you chose and overall look is just right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear I carefully trimmed to fit with it glued (clear PVA) to the edges. Front went in from the inside as normal. Neither are 100% with small gaps that can be seen but not too obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint is my usual home brew of craft acrylics thinned for airbrush with Windex (blue window cleaner) with floor polish clear over the top.

He even sent me a 2nd kit that was as bad as the first, I still have them un-built. I will be taking them to an upcoming show where I will be a vendor.

It's one of those kits that you're glad you managed to finish but wouldn't try building a second one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
