A 1/32 resin kit from Tarpit Toons/Jimmy Flintstone.

The base has a thick resin layer which needs to come off, 

removed..

Showing body, smoking base and hood scoop. Cleaning up required with a bit of filler and sanding.

I've not found anywhere one of these kits built, has anyone out there please?

Thanks Zippi. Although there seem to be holes in the backs of the small front wheels for an axle, one is not included in the kit!                                                                                                                                                                                               My major problem is what colour to paint it? Do I find decal flames for the front and sides as others have suggested? Should it be two tone? Just Bright Yellow, or just dark boring black? I need to go to the hardware store in the morning (Saturday) to get a large grey undercoat rattle can to start with.

A few decals, not totally happy,

Nearly there, not my favourite build, I've messed up in various places..

I had to put in a plasticard inner arch as no real area to attach the front wheels. Rear connects well.

Tomorrow?
