Revell Surfite 2

[PatW]

Found, bought now to build an old kit..

 

 I have covered the Tiki Hut in coffee sticks and converted it to a bar, suitably painted, also decaled the three surfboards, from my decal collection.

 

 

 

 

 

Also today, cutting out new clear plastic stock for both front and rear windscreens and fitting in place. The kit clear plastic strip is opaque due to it's age.

Update 19.05.22. Body finished and fitted to the chassis (that's a squeeze), also fitted the Centreline wheels. More to do, fit rear view mirror, exhaust, front wiper and rear if I can find one, rear number plate surround, and some decals both from stash and home printed ones. Also my first Surfite build, with wheels/tyres, rear's from Meyers Manx kits..

That is a bit different, makes you wonder what the designer was on at the time. It is coming together well, the beach bar looks the goods.

Thanks Steve. Ed Roth was one of the USA's largest producers of way-out custom cars in the 1960's not only as full size cars but also plastic model kits.
