Yeah Nah Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I had a couple of different 90s issues of this kit and there were some unidentified odd extra parts including a centre steering instrument panel and a small windscreen. Thanks to the wonderful Drastic Plastics website (link below) I was able to find out their origin: old Trophy Series issues. The Lindberg 32 Hot Rod kit had the required decals so I managed to produce a combination of two Trophy kits. The windscreen was unusable so used it for a pattern cut from acetate. Unfortunately the canvas 'cockpit' cover wasn't there so I made a pair from umbrella nylon. Anything else required came from the spares box. Anyway, pretty happy with the result. Let me know what you think.

Ulf Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Very nice, you have really managed to build in the present without disturbing the spirit of the vintage kit, it is more difficult than you think, I have failed to do so myself with this particular kit by the way. Thanks for the material tips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
