NOBLNG Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 This is a pretty nice kit. The only real issue is that the front bumper needs to be moved closer to the grill to be accurate (thanks Dennis!). Plus the front bumper has some mold lines and sprue attachment points that need to be removed. The bumpers and grill are redone with Revell chrome. Paint is Tamiya LP-6 Pure Blue and white primer under Mr. Hobby clear. Wheels and tires are from the parts box. Thanks for looking!😎 Build thread here:https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/186087-look…a-squirrel…no-it’s-a-nomad/#comments 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Beautiful looking paint work, especially with what all you had to go thru to get there. Trim all looks nice and cleanly done and the engine looks great. I like the Chevy Rally Wheels. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Dang Greg…that is nice. The stance, rally wheels, and color combo are all “just right” . The mods you performed on the front bumper make it look much better than any out the box build of this kit I’ve seen. Well done… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
