In between dealing with the Ford truck disaster and working on the Shelby GT350H, I've been working on this kit. I picked this up at Walmart a couple years ago.

The kit:




The completed build... Yes, I painted the same gold as Tamiya Gold Leaf in between mist coats while painting the stripes on the Shelby Mustang.

Nice!

Looks good Tom. The paint came out great. Tom Daniel kit I assume... they are so much fun

Ah man, that is too cool! I’m not a car guy, but this is the sort of subject outside of my subject preference that I do enjoy to see.

Thank you. I honestly don’t know. I am assuming they’re not. I had a chance to pickup another in the series but opt not to.

Thank you for the comments. It is a fun build. A lot of chrome parts that needed to scrap for gluing pieces together. I did had to resort to touching up glue spots on chrome with Molotov chrome pen. Lots of fiddly parts too; so special care not to break them when trimming them off the sprues. Molotov touch up after sanding off stubs off chrome parts.

My first motorcycle kit in over 40 years. There are vintage motocross, custom bikes and a CHP Harley Davidson Police bike I’d love to do again. Heck, I’d love to build those old school Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Honda motor bikes from the 70s. I’m not into those Tamiya motorcycle kits. Too modern for my taste.

Cool. Kinda wish I'd gotten one.

Hmm that's different. Great build

That is awesome! The gold sets it off nicely, beautiful job!

Wouh, really nice!!
