Monogram superbird

[happy grumpy]

A simple but fun kit. I must have build at least 6 of these when I was younger, this is the only survivor that I rebuilt recently. The color is Tamiya TS 44 brilliant blue. Probably never offered in this color, but I think it looks cool. The only thing I might  change are the wheels and tires , Fireball Modelworks Mopar Rallye wheels would look great on this.

Very nice CLEAN build!!!! I like the kit warts and all!!!!! I have built the Yellow and Orange of the factory colors....want to build all of them!

Wow, that is a brilliant build. I actually have a can of that color that I've never used. What color primer did you use under the base coat?

Looks good! Hopefully this one is in the Revell re-release queue.

Thanks guys ,

for this one I used Tamiya gray primer, their primer is really fine it lays smooth, I don't have to sand. For lighter colors I use their white primer. A little pricy but well worth it IMO.

Great looking color and clean stock style trim. Nice to see one the way it would have come from the dealer.

Very sharp, very clean! A couple of your pics could be mistaken for real. Well done and model on!
