Guess what it is.

[MarkJ]

I decided to try to build a model with no kit and only using styrene and household products. First one to guess what it is gets nothing but the satisfaction of figuring it out first. I first searched for a kit and could find nothing, and I don't want to purchase a 3d printer or even learn how to use it. I will use 2d schematics and hope that they are correct and ref photos. I will make it 1/12 scale or very close to it, but it doesn't really matter. I chose this scale because making stuff is always easier if its bigger and the finished model should be about 13.5 inches long so it will fit in a 15-inch-long clear plastic display case. I will try to build the tires and wheels first and if I cannot for some reason I will give up on this idea and go to my stash and pick out a kit to build. Without the tires and wheels the body, engine, and other things won't be necessary. Wip pictures will be your clues to what it is and no "well I think it might be this type of car". The guesses have to include year model and full name of the vehicle. Now that you have got off the floor scoffing at my idea check out the first clues below.

maybe eBay would have some. for a princely sum, of course.

Close but no cigar, Les and Sid I haven't got a clue what you are talking about. The model I'm trying to make I've only seen as a partial build diecast that you have to finish yourself but its thousands of dollars to purchase one so not going down that path. I probably just gave it away with that comment. Oh well back to work.
