This was built maybe 4-5 years ago from the old Revell molded in orange kit. This kit sucks so bad that i don't know why Model King brought it back out? I am not usually so critical of kits cuz we can do work to bring them out and better...but this is a peice of shit..i would not buy another one. I didn't use the interior because it would not look good to me so i blacked out the windows and made side windows for it. I dropped the body after painting it and it shattered into several peices , so what you see is what lots of sanding and repainting did. The trunk was all busted up and the roof was split down the middle. The foil work is not so great due to the fact the "lines" are not very crisp and hard to keep the knife aligned. Anyways, it came out cool in my opinion....just could have been better i think. I don't have it anymore Billy "Gooche" has it now. (maybe buy the kit and use the body only? hehe Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on Fotki

You sure did make a silk purse outta that sow's ear. Neat gasser!
You're right, that '53/54 kit is a POS.

Damn you have perseverance. It looks fantastic. I would have just crushed the stupid thing after dropping it.....actually probably before dropping it.
