cobraman Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Wrapped this one up a bit ago. Very nice kit and I would like to do another. Only problem I had was with the windows but other than that it fit together fine. It is painted Tamiya silver leaf. The stripe decal is from the parts box. My only other than stock changes were to use a tire and wheel from the parts box to upgrade what the kit offered as a spare. I also added a roll bar and masking tape seat belts. I had lettered the tires with Goodyear decals but they just did not look good so I turned the tires around. I feel that it turned out pretty good but as always could have been better. All comments pro or con are welcome.
Harry P. Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Looks good to me, but the front end looks to riding high...
Ramfins59 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 That looks really good Ray. It sometimes seems that the windows in Modelhaus kits can be troublesome, first of all to cut the vacu-formed glass to the exact size, and also getting the dashboards/interiors to fit properly once the glass is in.
superbike-shaun Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Ray, very nicely done! Knock Knock...........(Whose there??) orange, ,,,,,, orange who? orange you glad you went ahead and built this thing ? LOL Shaun.s
TooOld Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Turned out great Ray , and the paint is beautiful ! There are always issues that are unique to resin kits ( like the glass ) , don't let it deter you from buying another . You did a great job !
cobraman Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Thank you very much fellows. As to the glass.. It wasn't completely flat. It had a twist to it that got worse when I trimmed it to size. I just tried gluing one end and then holding down and gluing the other end. Not so bad that I wouldn't like to do another.
tbill Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Ray, I really like this build, looks fantastic! great job
Miatatom Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Looks great! I love those old evil handling Cheetahs. I always thought they had such a bad a** look to them.
RatRod Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Man that looks great, but I think the wheel change was wrong. The rim in the spare looks more correct.
