Threw this together yesterday for a friend (same one I built the Shelby Cobra for). It was a junk kit but he does work on my vehicles So I couldn’t say no, he collects 1/1 cars and this was one of them. I probably wont build another. These kits you give to a 10 y/o to start the hobby. Tamiya they are NOT…LOL. I dont care for Revell or AMT kits…but I’m spoiled 🙂
Anyway here are a few pics, about 6 hours to build it, could not get rid of the dust or dog hair before I painted it…ARGH. Even though I stripped it down and redid it…oh well he will like it
9 attached images. Click to enlarge.
This oldie looks really good, Cricket @bikequeen Hard to believe you only required six hours to achieve that.
@johnb thanks John i use. Tamiya spray cans they dry really fast, the kit was junk so I wanted to be done with it 🙂
It looks neat in that colour scheme, Cricket @bikequeen, but I’m with you on Revell kits, don’t know about AMT, they’re not available here.
@chinesegeorge yeh but way way back they were fun, but not anymore, hes done a lot for me so I didn’t mind building it for him, but no more…AMT are about the same
Well shoot, that's not a build! Lady, you need to get yourself a Peterbilt by Revell, and give yourself a challenge! Hair and dust, go hand in hand, with beer and sleepless nights! Trick for the future... Get a plastic tote and put it over your model, while it dries 😉 Live the dream 🙂
@bozzer LOL…you ain’t right Naa I’ll stick to my bikes…dont like the bid stuff, it’s a pain to paint and dust (parrot) dog hair is just nuts here and I paint outside the back door between working on it then stepping outside it is a dust magnet no matter how much I try it always gets loaded with dust….anyway…he like it thats all that counts 🙂
Never say die, Cricket. We have technology, we can rebuild it 😉
Really amazed by the quality and speed of your builds, my friend @bikequeen!
I like the way it looks, the wood grain detail is very good.
@epinac thank you Eduardo the wood grain was juts sprayed with Tamiya Dark Yellow Spary can, that’s it, figure it wouldn’t be seen anyway. It’s an awful build but he liked it 🙂
Very cool, Cricket (@bikequeen). I really like the color. I have a number of car models that I haven't built yet, and all are from this era, or earlier. I also have an unbuilt model of my first car, a 1957 Chevy. Wish I still had it.
@gblair HA! My first car was 57 Chevy too! :). The color is Tamiya Bright Red spray can TS-49
