Smitty Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 My original intention for this model was to just build it 'out of box'. As it progressed I decided to use the build experience as a chance to try a few new things that I could perhaps use in the future. For example, I stripped the kit chrome , except for the wheels, and tried Alclad 2 chrome for the first time. I scratch built the gauge in the interior, and for the paint I used white primer with Tamiya clear pearl on top. These early Revell kits have often been described as 'fiddly' or difficult to build. I'm inclined to agree. It's been a long time since I've built a Revell kit from this era, so I'd forgotten how much fun they could be! The decals in particular really gave me a 'run for my money'! Still, I'm happy with the results and will enjoy having it on my shelf. 9
bbowser Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 You killed it! Those decals must have been challenging.
Flatout Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Sweet looking Beatnik Bandit Eric! The extra detailing really paid off and really nice work on the decals…one of nicer examples of this kit I’ve seen.
atomicholiday Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 That looks terrific. I really like the way you did the plug wires.
Lucius Molchany Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Yes I built one and the decals were a challenge,I had to float the rear decal section on to the body!
Dennis Lacy Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Turned out incredibly nice. One of the best Beatnik Bandits I’ve seen! As far as Roth cars go, it’s one of his better looking designs.
Mr. Metallic Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 Very nice build of a classic kit. Love the engine plumbing/wiring and the interior.
