PatW Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) This is the Revell kit version. Other than the twisted, buckled floor, front and rear windows buckled, and side windows too long and too high and oh yes trying to fit the body over the interior, was nigh on impossible. I had to shave down the door panels, take off the dash and shave off the mounting to the floor and about a 1/4" round the top of the dash as it touched the body without the windows in! With the engine surround there is a window panel at the back of the seats, this was also far too high and wide so shaved that down too! And a few other problems, too many to count! Anyway here's the finished article......................... The bikes, roof bars and top box come from a Fujimi kit. The decals are a Dot Camo from Scale Motorsport. The rear bike rack is scratch built. Edited June 17, 2018 by PatW 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Looks like a right flaming Poser's wagon, very nicely modelled though. Now tell me its a model of your daily driver. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thanks guys. No I wouldn't buy one personally, Because they are not practical enough for the family/shopping/going to the tip/carrying tools/shelving for my display cases and the flat-pack cabinets themselves. A Porsche 911 RSR perhaps, if I sold the house, which my wife of 50 years would be a bit annoyed about! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Cheers KonaDawg. Our youngest son (48) although crashing on a downhill section on his head 3 weeks ago has had all the checks, x ray and physio, has gone with about 6 mates to Morzine, to do a weeks downhill riding! Hope he comes back in at least one piece! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonaDawg Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hey Pat, glad your son survived. As a downhiller myself, I'm sure landing on his head was the best result 🤪 😂😂. That part at least has descent armour. Embrace the gnar 🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Cheers KonaDawg. Matt normally does cross-country, the older son Mark (50) does downhill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
