Well, its done! I have to agree with everyone, Revell did an excellent job on this kit! Sure, its got some drawbacks, but its nice to see them put out something similiar to a 3n1 kit again, nicely engineered too!

Model Master Ultraviolet lacquer, Kit and Kdog graphix pinstripes. Body mods are the hardtop chop w/curved window moldings (man, did I hack those in the end!), fadeaway over the dogleg, frenched anntennas and exhaust thru the bumper.

Kdog's pinstripes...

RMCoM Caddy air cleaner...

Of course, I forgot to take pics of the interior before I put it together! Black interior, pearl white inserts, brass wire piping. The dash is body color.

Hope you like it! Enjoy... Comments always welcome!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
