pennytimeline Posted December 30, 2023 #1 Posted December 30, 2023 I got this kit a long time ago and it was missing the instruction manual and the four whitewall insert parts for the tires. So it sat in my stash pile, until I found the whitewalls on ebay for $15. Still waiting on the parts, but I found the instruction at Fotki. Now, the instructions for some reason don't show steps 1 thru 8, but I think I can make it work. So, here we go! Egilman, Haliburton, Jack12477 and 10 others 13
pennytimeline Posted December 31, 2023 Author #2 Posted December 31, 2023 I started working on the engine and put a coat of semigloss on the chrome sprue to make it look a little less toy like. Old Collingwood, Canute, Baker and 10 others 13

Landlubber Mike Posted January 7, 2024 #4 Posted January 7, 2024 Nice start and congrats on finding the white wall inserts! I love the cars from this period.

pennytimeline Posted January 10, 2024 Author #5 Posted January 10, 2024 (edited) I have been wanting to build this kit for some time, but the instructions kept me from trying. Then someone suggested Fotki.com and problem solved. But, I was still missing the whitewalls and like magic, after many searches, the whitewalls were on ebay, hurray! I decided on a Burgundy body on Black fenders and frame. Right now, I'm trying to get the body tight to the rear fenders.

Nirvana Posted February 16, 2024 #11 Posted February 16, 2024 A friend of mine built this model long time ago, (back in the 70's) and he was young. This model was way above his skill level.
