'78 Scout Surf Slammer


Chuck Most

Recommended Posts

I've added detail to the Scout II kit before, but this time, I decided to go the opposite route and do one as a slammer. I painted the inside of the window unit black, left out about 95% of the kit parts, and only concentrated on reshaping the grille and hood.

I should also thank Bob "Zoom Zoom" Downie for the technique I used on the hood and grille for this one! Works great!

What is the problem on these that you have to modify the front? I have always wanted to build one so I want to know whats wrong with it.

The top edge of the grille and the hood itself are way too curved- it should be flat. And that's just the tip of the icebert- we won't even get into the missing cut lines, hood peak, etc. ...

Great job, Chuck. I have a question, though- where do you go surfing in Ithaca (except on the web)?

Sewage treatment ponds on the east end of town on a windy day. Hang ten!!!!
