Hey all, started this a while ago but as is always the case other things got in the way. Finally finished though so i thought i would share some pics. Its a kit i remember seeing in Beaties back in the day and always fancied, got hold of one from ebay earlier in the year and apart from some perished decals it was sport on. Decals used are from Indycals and i found them pretty good. Frustratingly i did some extra work to the engine, but the cover was such a nightmare to get on i am not keen to take off again, as i will break the mirrors if i do so. I'll probably try at some point but while the fit is ok the usability of the engine cover isn't great on this kit. I now understand why people cut along the pods to have a lift of centre section instead. Added ariels using some unused clothing label tags cut and painted to fit, and some rivet decals to simular the fasteners the car has on the nose, engine cover and screws on the mirrors. Also had a go at doing my own sabelt decals as it didn't have any for the belts. Need to touch up the kmarts on the side as they were damaged getting the engine cover on, paint is mostly vallejo model air with some tamiya stuff. Some pics! : With its older brother from many moons ago: And this truck, i think from the model shop that used? to be in the metro centre, not sure if it is there anymore. The rattle can paint has faded a lot, maybe i'll try and refurbish it and make some decals instead of stickers. And the next build i think: Thanks for taking a look!
