Hairy Dude Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi! Im Richard from Estonia. I have builded models for about 1,5 years but i still have only 1 finished and about 3 WIP's. I received this model today, ordered it from USA and it took 3 weeks to get here :)I will paint it green with flat black hood and "deck-stripe" and im going to make custom sidepipes. I will try to darken panel lines because i havent done it on any models and the green is too light so it would look weird . Box art looks very nice ! I already painted undercarriage and glued rear axle. It's power giver, the HEMI I totally forgot to make pictures about the body and wheels and stuff so i will make those and better pics of engine tomorrow !!!! Bye !

Guest Sickfish Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hello Richard & welcome to the forum!! You're doing a wonderful job on your Superbee!! Looks like you like your Mopars? I'm building a couple of Superbees myself, 1 with a Hemi & 1 with the 440-6 pack. I'm doing them factory stock & with as much detail as I can, check them out if you like mate? Cheers, Cliffo :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Dude Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thank you! Yes, i like Mopar's very much, at some time i was thinking building only mopar models Ive seen your Bee's too, they look very awesome, good luck to you with them ! It's only matter of time to me buying few more of those bee's. Bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 looks good in the green if i might make a suggestion..get yourself a nice sharp razor and cut a small oh ever so small section out of the deck stripe right where the panel lines for the trunklid are it will give you so much more depth also, if you ar in the market for some more superbees make sure you get one ro two or twenty of the AMT 1970 pro street superbees they come with the DOHC hemi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hey thats really cool to see a Bee getting built from your neck of the woods so to speak. I like the color choice and even if you broke the black, I like the white on that shade of green. Nice project so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Dude Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 TIME FOR REBUILD!!! Will have a 380 sixpack engine with supercharger, probably will have BBS LM's under it and black paint, no chrome, interior will have details and i'll probably cut the trunk open I have already finished the grille, i cut the original lights out because they we're molded in, put some styrene behind the holes and painted it all matte black, then added some light glasses too! Greeting from Estonia! Richard, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatt88 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Rich, Welcome aboard....Nice build so far. Gotta love the box art on those old MPC kits I just visited Latvia back in August for a couple of weeks, that is a very beautiful part of the world you guys live in over there. Oh yeah, by the way, you guys have some awesome castles.. Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Dude Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thank you Ian! Yes, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all beautiful places to live. About the model, i cant wait my Challenger to arrive so i took 440 engine from my parts bin and installed it there. I also found wheels under the Bee, they're Hasegawa's Ferrari 328GTB wheels, center's painted black. Cya, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
