Moebius kit built box stock, painted in Testors Blazing Black and Diamond Dust. The wheels and tires are temporarily installed with water based glue, eventually they'll be popped off and replaced with something a bit more period correct for the late '70's/early '80's. Once that happens I'll whip up a backstory and call it done.

Very nice clean build Chuck, totally unexpected from you...lol

Can't wait to see what tire/wheel combo you come up with !

Great Build! As others have said, the Tu-Tone Paint is sharp, and believable.

 

Good Show.

Nice work on this brandy brand new kit! I dig the color combo, the sparkly black and silver look sweet.

(Off I go, searching for a can of Diamond Dust in the paint stash.)

Chuck your photography really makes your stellar building skills pop.  I can easily think I’m looking at a 1:1!  Nice job. -Mark

Nice build. Love the color combo. What do you use for trim work?

The trim is bare metal foil with a little semigloss black painted into the recesses. The excess was wiped off with a thin cloth rag stretched tightly over the tip of my thumb.

Thank you. That looks great. I really need to try that someday

New shoes, Monogram '77 GMC 8 bolt alloys, Monogram Ground Hawg tires. And I've reconfigured the original rollers for a dually.

Looks great ! Unbelievable improvement with correct sized wheels. Looks incredibly natural now.
