1966 Hemi Under Glass

[gtx6970]

The reissued kit from about

10 years ago.

 

I had rebuilt an original issue years ago....but in a weak moment up and sold it. No odea why.

 

No matter....But I felt it was time for another one in my case.

This isnt nothing fancy.

Some engine details added.

Swapped out the kit wheels for a set of the more correct Hurst rims and tires from the sparesbox 

Tamiya colors with duplicolor 1k clear topcoat. All rattle cans 

I think it came out real good for under 10 days build time end to end.

It looks absolutely fabulous. I’m also a big fan of tamyia rattle cans . I’ll have to give that duplicolor clear a try I like the way yours came out with the pearl in it I think it makes the gold really pop . I can’t wait to build the 1965 version.

It REALLY made the gold pop.

Just added sparkle to the black

 

But. Yes

 It laid down very nice I have to admit.

That ended up looking great.  I don't think I have ever seen one of those finished.   Tamiya spray cans.  You got to love them.  Again great job.

Just a Great looking build.  Just watched the video of Bob Riggle and Jay Leno crashing in the Hurst Hemi Under Glass.

Nice! I owned a 66 eons ago, your looks great.

I see ( I think ) that you fixed the totally wrong magneto location that this kit has always had. The rear of the block is WRONG, looks like you moved it to front (right side) where it should be. Good going.

Beautiful job! I’ve got the Model King issue, may have to dig it out and get started!
