Yeah Nah Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) I most likely wouldn't have bought this kit, but it was at a bargain price so I snapped it up. Am I glad I did! Despite the usual hassles of getting full shell bodies together, I ended up with a model that takes pride of place on the shelf. Comes with cool 'spy' extras like cannon sticking out the front; weapons tray behind the passenger cabin; front and rear roof mounted laser weapons; the centre instrument cluster can be built 'flipped' around along with the glovebox lid displayed open to show spy stuff plus rocket launchers in the gullwing door fronts that would no doubt be a lot more effective if you remembered to open the doors out first. BTW, the real thing was a Gene Winfield design built by AMT and NBC for the popular 60s TV series Man From Uncle starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. Here's a link for more info: https://www.c-we.com/piranha/page4.htm By a sad co-incidence, a couple of days after I started construction on this, the passing of David McCallum was announced. Thanks for looking! Edited October 14, 2023 by Yeah Nah 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camaro lover Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think this is the first time I’ve seen this kit actually built. I know a few people who started it but never got around to finishing the kit. Looks great, looks just as it should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbuildr Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Very cool build. I remember this TV series, we were crazy for it when I was a youngster. You did an excellent job on a tough kit. Well done. Edited October 15, 2023 by karbuildr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nah Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 8 hours ago, Brudda said: Great job! Since it’s amt it had to be a difficult build. Yes. Yes it was. 😬😬 One of those kits that seems to have hardly anything in the box but takes forever to build. I've got the Piranha dragster/tow car double set that I was keen to start soon but I think I'll let the trials with this one fade from memory first.......
