Hello everyone πŸ‘‹πŸ˜‰

In addition to my Japanese pickups, I'm posting my first American entry, which is about an SUV called the GMC Typhoon. A sports SUV from the early 90s. I've been planning to build this model for a long time and already had a suitable kit on hand: the Revell GMC Syclone, in which the chassis and body are shortened to get as close to the original as possible.

Here's the kit box:

And thats what it should Look like in the end:

More about that later.

Please don't be surprised, but I've already built the Syclone in Candy Lime Green with flame decals and gold rims. However, I wasn't entirely satisfied with it in the end, so I took it apart again and sanded off the old paint.

This is what my Syclone looked like before:

Afterwards, it looked like this, with Fujimi wheels for customization:

Primed and painted black:

I LOVED putting those together at the dealership!!!!Β  PDI included taking it to the gas station to put in 5 bucks and test drive.

There is also a Marlboro edition out there from a contest they did back in that time frame.

Looking very forward to this build!!!
