Ghostbusters 2 Ecto1-A

[Railfreak78]

Well guys and gals this has been a fun project. I'm calling this one done now. There are a couple of things a bit different on here than the real one that I will go ahead and point out. The 2 small bottles on the driver side of the roof rack are suppose to be yellow and I did it white after seeing a weathered 1:1 picture of the real car now. I did not feel like re-painting it Also, the diamond plate rear bumper is supposed to be red all the way across but I personally think that looks bad. Anyway, A friend of mine pointed out the out of scale whip antenna so I made a new one. I did do some interior stuff that I will post back on the bench side since this is curbside. Thank you all for following this one and making it a hit. It helped keep my head in the game and I hope you like the end result. Here it is and Enjoy!!

A special thanks goes out to Artisticndn and Danno for detail pictures for this build and to Zukaholic for without him I would have never had the kit. Thanks guys!

Nice work, got 3 of these things now, tho they have all been converted to hearses, I have to give it to you, you did a great job on this, nice work...

That came out really good, Brian! There's a lot of work in that build and it shows.

BTW, what did you end up using for the antenna?

[DRG]

Personally I never cared for the movie and the car would seem to be very difficult to drive being so top-heavy.

However I must admit you did a good job on building this model, looks good to me.

Great looking Ecto.

Paint and all the lil detail painting really paid off.

Decals look good too.

Really nice work...

Thanks David. I used a thin Jewelery wire I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I normally would have used guitar string but this worked out ok here with the curve. The boot is telephone wire insulation.

It was really hard for me to not turn this into a Hearse since I love those cars. I'll have to get another one someday. Thanks for the comment
