maltsr Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Built from the MPC kit which I recently acquired off ebay, partly started. Built OOB with the exception of parts box wheels and front tyres, painted Tamiya Metallic Orange. The windshield frame broke into three pieces when removing it from the sprue so a little careful surgery was required otherwise no real problems.

krazyglu Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Neat buggy, fitting the paint work look's good. Dean Jeffries was a painter/custom car builder, he built movie car's, car's for the rich and famous and everything in between. Dean is a icon to me, I have read about him in Rodder's Journal and online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
