atomicholiday Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Built this one about 12 years ago or so. This was the last one I finished before I took an extended break. The pics look a little fuzzy to me. Sorry, my hands shake a little more than they used to when taking pictures. But hey, the vision is going too, so maybe they aren't as blurry as I think! haha! I know now that some of the colors aren't correct, but when I built this I didn't have internet to look up reference photos. Not making excuses though. Body color was a custom mix of Testors enamels airbrushed on and then clear coated. Chassis was some kind of cheap rattle can stuff I got at wal-mart. Won't be using that stuff again. It went on really thick. Anyway, it's good to be back into this stuff again after so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks guys! I can get pretty critical of my own work, and normally when I'm done with a model, I don't feel very inspired by it. Sometimes, once completed, they just look a little fake or toy-like to me. But this one was different. I was pretty pleased with this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Nice build...I built that kit in the same color combo about 20 years ago...always liked that kit, about the only issues I've had w/ the ones I've built is the rear bumper is fiddy to attach and they sit low in the rear..
