DanR Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I had fun with this kit but I didn't love it. I don't see myself ever building another one. But I hope you enjoy my not very unconventional take on it.
DanR Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 Just a few basics. The body is Testors One Shot Electric Pink. The gloss black is actually the Wal-Mart Color Place Gloss Black that comes in the big can for about $1. I covered the black parts of the body with Future floor wax. The only thing not right out of the box is the roof. I ran a couple of strips of styrene across it vertically, laying them down with super glue and then sanding the where the glue overflowed. My original intent was either to do a two tone color with one on the outer parts and maybe a white on the inside (similar to the interior). In the end, I just decided to go all black and leave it as is.
Shardik Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Growing up, in New Mexico, my neighbor had one of these (1:1). What a blast! You've captured it pretty faithfully (except his was metal-flake gold); nice clean build.
