Airfix Jeep Quicksand Quickbuild

Yes it's a Snap-Kit build up, and finding a few old acrylic matte colour bottles, I used a brush! I also used a Molotow chrome pen and clear red and orange.

Very Nice!

You cannot tell it is a Snapper!

[Street Rod]

That’s really cool! Great job!

[PatW]

Thanks guys. The plain black was too sombre.

I like the Camo finish better than the box art. Nice detailing with the muddy tires.

Cheers David.

Looks great Pat, real nice weathering too!

[Dragline]

That is one gussied up snapper.

Well played....

Nice work.? It needs an air filter though if you’re going to play in the dirt!?

[Tom Geiger]

That is downright cool!    And I've never seen this kit before.  Suddenly I need one!

VERY cool spin! I have most of those AIRFIX lego builds.

Very nice build. The wheels and tires look great. I never knew this kit existed either. I saw the real Quicksand concept at the York Pa Jeep show in 2017. Definitely need to get one now.

Oh look a real one! We've not seen this photo in the UK before either. Thanks guys, super little kit in near !/24 scale. Yes it needs an air filter to play in the dirt, but we don't see many V8 kits here in the UK the parts for them are rare. I really wanted to change to a Carb and low filter and modify the bonnet (hood) so it was flat and covered the engine completely.
