Car Crazy 81 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) This kit caught my eye when i was at the Tigerfest show i had to have it . Im planning on detailing this one. The color im using is Dupli-Color Radiant Silver as a basecoat and the topcoat is Dupli-Color Metalcast Blue Anodized to replicate that Candy Blue that was used on all the Jungle Jim cars. Heres the box art. Edited August 8, 2013 by Car Crazy 81

Mooneyzs Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 This gonna be a great build. Looking forward to seeing it come together.
W-409 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 This will be interesting to follow, as a fan of GM H-Bodies I've been looking for this kit too. I can't wait to see what you do for it.
dragcarz Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Rick, if I might make a suggestion, you might want to shorten the rear wheel openings and look at using the slicks from newer Monogram funny car or dragster models. Looking at lots of photos the rear wheel openings seem way too big for me. Looking forward to following this build.
Car Crazy 81 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 More progress on Jungle Jim's Monza i'd painted the body the other day with Dupli-Color "Metalcast" Blue Anodized and Dupli-Color Ultra Silver Metallic as a base.
