Tom Daniel’s Li’l Red Baron RePop

November 7, 2024 · in Automotive · · 12 · 126

When I was a kid the kits put out by were not my cup of tea, although I did think they were interesting. Today I find them more appealing and decided to try the small version of the roadster, “Li'l Red Baron.”

This kit is a snap-together model redone by Atlantis and the fit is quite good. I used glue, never-the-less, for most of the model. It is also molded in color so younger modelers can build it pretty quickly with a nice finish. I chose to paint it. This one was fun to do and I like the look of it. I can see another one or two of these joining my collection. Rommel's Rod comes to mind….

  3. Very cool, Scott. Great colours and paint.
    That brings back memories for me! As a kid in the ‘70s, my favourite Hot Wheels car was The Red Baron, it was a great jumper car!

    All in favor of doing things outside the norm 👍

  5. Great work Scott. Nice to see an unusual subject that brings back memories. It really captures the look of those Daniels kits.
