Steamboat Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Is the kit molded in black or is it white? I've built both over the years. You takes your choice whether the body or the chassis will be easier to paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Looks great! One thing I don't like about these kits is the absolutely lame carburetors they put in. The don't look anything like a real one. I guess it doesn't matter with the air cleaner on, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
