Plowboy Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I built this years ago when it first came out as a reissue of the "Rebel Rouser". I just wanted a simple build straight out of the box. But, I couldn't stand either set of wheels that came with it. So, I used a set of Cragars from the AMT '66 Nova. I also fixed the front wheel openings as they're incorrect out of the box. Besides that, it's just paint and glue. The paint is Tamiya Gold with their clear. For what it is, it makes a decent looking model out of the box. It just needs better wheels. Thanx for checking it out! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 One of my favourite kits, warts and all. Yours is quite lovely, especially since you'd put more effort into than you give credit for: - Added the fender-to-cowl separation - Added front fender-to-rocker separation These are in addition to your other reworkings, aforementioned. My biggest structural peeve - and it's one which dates to the 1971 original Duster annual - is the wheelbase is off side-to-side, front wheels. I mention this not as a reflection on your fantastic build, but as a general observation. Keep up the GREAT work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Love that color. The stance is Great and the wheels & tires from the 66 Nova kit makes the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the wheelbase on mine out of curiosity and it measured the same side to side (110mms). It doesn't look out of square either. Maybe they fixed it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
