I have this kit in the stash. I want to see what you do with it. Keep the pictures coming.

Fabbing up a trailer using the one from the kit as a model.

Added a few details to the trailer. Duesenberg fenders, no less.

Good start. I built one years ago. Here are some pics of the real one I used as a reference.

That is some good looking wood grain, Pat.

Woodgrain and trailer completed, except the taililights. Now to find a clear that won't wrinkle everything up.

I saw , as I was removing the extra parts from the sptue that I had forgotten the prop and rudder. Added those and decided to build the drag engine for display,

Don't forget a rear exhaust dump pipe too. Good looking Chris Craft Runabout.
