'65 "Drag Camino"

[Quiet Eric]

Been a while since I posted, but it's been a while since I've been building too.

I built this a couple years ago hoping it would be a "slump buster" but it didn't work. Just too busy with other stuff and a lack of motivation otherwise. But I have started building again and have one about to come off the bench soon, so thought I'd catch up.

Nothing special at all and as far as I recall, built out-of-box save for maybe tires and stance adjustment. Paint would have been whatever I had around that was the right color. It's pretty sloppy but makes me happy to see in the display case.

Nice build my..Welcome back to the modeling world..Sometimes it takes getting away from this to get your juices going again..The pandemic did it for me..I have this kit and didn't really think about it until I saw your build..You gave me some incentive to do something with mine..Again really nice job on your build.

Cool that you built it like the box art!

This is by far the best box art for this kit and you got it spot on . Nice job on the tri color paint scheme. It’s a great kit but they could have made the injector hat bigger more to scale.  it also would have been nice had they tooled up a nice set of headers

Thanks! Yeah...I cut the hood open on the provided scribe lines and didn't figure out how bad that was going to look until it was all done. But I figure that's how a kid would have built it when the kit first came out and I'm sure they still thought it was cool!

Love the drag cars.  Great looking build.
