PhilB Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Since my return to the art some 8 years ago this is the only non-aircraft model I have made. Think I was in a fed up with things with wings mood. Very large and some parts (main body shell) dating back to the 70's but it was ok to build apart from the decals which were a nightmare to get over all the curves.

JRutman Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Great subject and super nice build! If you took a pic with the proper perspective in the background one couldn't tell if it was real or a model! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I had to take a second take when I opened this thread. That almost looks real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I had to take a second take when I opened this thread. That almost looks real! Yeah, I agree. I thought it was real, and parked in the driveway, until I noticed it was parked on the world's largest cutting mat. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladder4boy Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 i always loved this kit! when i was a youngin' at the ripe age of 15, i saw it at my LHS for the sum of 60 bucks. I worked 2 months mowing lawns to buy that sucker, and when i finally got the money, I went to the shop to get it and it was gone! So i bought the 72nd scale B-52 instead.. then a month later, at my best friends birthday party, imagine my surprise when he opened his big present from his mom and it was MY kit!! hated him for 2 weeks over that! we eventually got over it and made up by taking pot-shots at the completed B-52 with the BB guns from 60 yds out. The one thing i remember was that the wheels melted on to the rims on the car after about a year tho.. looked like a blob of black glue. Saw that they re- released it a year ago and it's now about $120.. but seeing this build makes me wanna go out and buy it again.. BAD!! funny how some kits bring back the memories, huh? Awesome job on the build BTW! beautiful paint and decal work there! Cheers! Jerry Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richter111 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 When I was a kid living in Okinawa, I had a remote control of this car, painted in silver, with identical decals. I loved it Thanks for the memories, and great job on the kit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I got to drive a Porsche 911 on the Autobahn for three days a couple of years back. All I can say is "wow." Your build brings back great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
