realgone58 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 I guess I can add this one to my completed for 2012 list. It's the Fiat out of the re-popped AMT Double Dragster kit. I used the ram injected version of the Chrysler Hemi. Everything is done out of the box, except for the wiring of course and the fuel line from the Moon tank under the front cap to the fuel pump. Paint is Duplicolor light green metallic. I thought the chrome was too shiny on the wheels, so I sprayed them argent silver. Hand painted on the wide whites (looks tacky, I think I'll replace with the pad printed ones), then again I could say that they were painted on the 1:1 too! It was a fun variation from the replica stocks.
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Man that looks good. Sooooo good, I'm going to have to build one in the stash, box-stock. Man, that looks great !!!
cobraman Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Looks very good. Love the 60's style racers.

slusher Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 WOW, thats a sweet build of that classic kit, love the color and the whites look great. You really should leve them on...
realgone58 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks for all the comments guys! I think I will leave the tires on it.
fatkidd Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 I really like how this turned out, Al. Is it me or does there appear to be a watch face where the spare tire goes? I've been cleaning out the garage today, so I could be hallucinating. haha Beautiful model
Silver Foxx Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 A nice clean build - looks great , the wheels look alright to me , a real cool model.
johnz Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 very nice, very clean,i'm just finishing one of these myself,love the color
Zarana-X Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Nice paint. Some guy in my town has a stock bodied Topolino. The first time I saw it on the street, I though someone was driving a legends dirt track car on the road.
