THarrison351 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I can't say I enjoyed building this model, but I'm happy with the results. Round2 brought back this old kit with the motorcycle and gangster options. I passed on those, but the rest looks OK. Typical sixties MPC issues, with fiddly chrome, vague locations for parts, etc. I'll never understand how kids finished them years ago. I added a missing upper radiator hose and the rumble seat does not work, it's either open or closed. The golf bag hatch on the side will open, I just didn't take a picture. Anyway, last build for the year, that makes fifteen. With top on My green I used was brighter than I wanted, but it was all I had on on hand Initial mock up Tamiya Gloss black and Alclad II chrome for the wheels I used Tamiya gloss aluminum for the silver. Masked with bare metal foil. The newest it terrible! leaves residue behind! Ugh! Guess that's it! Thanks! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Despite the typical MPC issues from this era, you did a great job on this build. Very attractive in silver and black, and your engine looks great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 That finish is excellent! Beautiful car. I plan to do the gangster version as I don't want to attempt a perfect paint job like yours but the overall model looks like a lot of work.
