Ira Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Protection! I cut out and added sheet plastic panels to the front of the Roll Cage and behind the Driver. I brushed on some Flat Black Paint and then noticed a couple spots that needed Filling. Instead of using putty I added Formula 560 White Glue to the holes and gaps with a toothpick. After the glue dried I brushed on another coat of Flat Black. More Coming...

Ira Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Moon Tanks! It seemed like almost every Model from the 1960's had a Moon Tank in it. There were very popular back then.
