Testors Aluma (Coupe) Roadster

[xs650shawn]

Testors Aluma Coupe. I love this car and kit, but boy is it fiddley. Finished as a "tribute" to one I built in my teens. Color is similar to what I used then. Hinged the lids, removed the roof to make it a Roadster. Grafted in some actual taillights, and exhaust tips. My original one was being built for a build challenge in Scale Auto when the kit was first released. I have learned I still have a lot to work on with my patience, as this kit tested it. 2025 goal.

I really like this - I never knew what one of these kits looked like out of the box.  You've done a great job on this all the way around !! 👍

So creative. Great color and openings. The tail lights and exhaust tips are super. Have never seen one of these kits built.

Looks great! Nice to see cars from the Boyd Coddington era in new clothes!
