maltsr Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Regular viewers may recall my two previous attempts to create this replica - one ended up as a street machine, the other a gasser. Thankfully I managed to apply some autopaint I was happy with, bought from a local store - not Tamiya!! This is my sixth T'bolt racecar replica, and was built from the Model King release. Wiring was added, the teardrop vents opened and fitted with mesh. A great kit that goes together really well. Many thanks for looking and comments welcome.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 You sure can build a heck of nice model. Keep the eye candy coming. Don't hold any back!
Moparkid13 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Very nice build. I just received mine in the mail today. I would like to see more of your hood where you cut the openings and of the engine
W-409 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Great build. Drag Cars are always nice to watch. I'd like to see picture from the engine too. Paintjob loks good, and decals fit nicely. Great job on the side trim also. Maybe I must build one Thunderbolt too..
trogdor Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Very nice clean build. Any pictures of the engine ?
brett Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 A beautiful rendition again Paul. Superb work as usual
walt francis Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 total Knockout..You really nailed it this time.
maltsr Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks for the kind comments guys - I really like these kits, just as well, having done 8 now Moparkid13 and Trogdor, I attach a couple more pics for you.
Moparkid13 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 i don't know if it's just my connection but you're last post didn't show any pictures
Erik Smith Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 NIce, nice, nice. This is a great kit - has a few issues (specifically getting the grill/bumper to sit right in the fenders) - but I can see you overcame them. I have one in the final stretch, although it doesn't follow any drag roots. I'll post the pics when it's completed. Thanks for posting!
Sport Suburban Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Very nice job! I like this kit also I have built two so far, Russ Davis and this version also. I have three more unbuilt in my stash. I also hignly recomend this kit!!
Jeff Johnston Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 ooh that's one of the nicest T-bolts I've seen yet !
sjordan2 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Gorgeous piece of work, superb paint. I can't tell for sure from the pictures, but did you add window seals and felt? If so, that's a great detail that is too often overlooked. Edited October 16, 2011 by sjordan2

maltsr Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Hi Phillip It's some mesh I had left over from a Tamiya kit - I'm sure you'll be able to get something similar at your LHS, or perhaps some fellow members in the US can direct you to an aftermarket supplier over there. Paul
