Here's one of my favorite models (and one of my favorite kits). I built this one eight years ago, and after several moves over the years, it was starting to look a little rough around the edges. I partially disassembled it, and polished out the cab and box with some Turtle Wax polishing compound (it's clearcoat safe), followed by some Black Magic wax. This is one of the last ones I painted with Testor's enamels- Arctic Blue Metallic over Aluminum Metallizer and several coats of Testor's clear gloss. Man, did that polishing compound work wonders. Also, after eight years, I added all the underhood decals and the side mirrors. Looks like it's ready for another eight years.

Hey Harold:

Nice resurrection! I didn't realize the kit had poseable steering.

It doesn't. It does, however, have separate spindles and control arms. I just attacked everything with a #62 drill bit and some straight pins.
