Dodge Viper D-Type

[PetroleumPrimate]

This is AMT's Dodge Viper kit converted into a Jaguar D-Type style road machine.  The kit roll bar was cut off and the windscreen was cut down.  The interior was switched to right hand drive (easy, actually) and a rear fin was added.  Aoshima wheels were used to replace the not so nice kit parts.  Painted in Testor's British racing green - not the best paint job.   This model was made over 25 years ago, when the kit was fairly new.  I found it in a baggie behind the workbench. Multiple parts had fallen off of it, and I just restored it.  The AMT kit was very fussy to assemble, and re-building this model reminded me of that.  I somehow got the hood to fit - this is a minor miracle.  I may add some white gumballs to break up the dark green...

Pretty sharp-looking. Could be imagined as the retro D Jag. Nice work.
