I purchased this kit from 'MCW Resin Replicas' back in 1/2017.  I was happy with the casting and detail quality but, really wasn't ready to do an engine-less, 'static' model.  So, it sat in the box until now.

I got an AMT 1963 Avanti, 289 supercharged engine from Ebay and decided to open the hood.  Studebaker also offered a sunroof option, so I decided it need that also.

More to follow.   Thanks for looking!

Moving ahead slowly with the Studebaker.  The 'R2' supercharged engine is in the chassis, wheels and tires installed.

Thinking about Tamyia, 'Mica Red', for body color with a silver-gray roof.  Black or gray interior.

Thanks for watching!

Last weekend I was driving down the highway and saw a vintage car up ahead of me.  As I got closer my brain was telling me studebaker. It was going at a good clip and took a while to catch up with all the traffic. Finally caught up and it was a 1962 Lark  Ht in a champagne color. Running down the road pretty good aside from a bit of wiggle in the tail, I think the left rear shock was failing.

Yup, very cool project.

I'd never seen one of these next to a '53 Stude or an Avanti until a couple weeks back at the Savoy Museum near me, and even though they're all on essentially the same chassis, the "small" Lark looks at first glance as being based on a larger car.
