cruz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Simple kit, painted w/ Go Mango from Testor's, no clear. Very old mold, actually had to rescribe a lot of the moulding detail around the windows in order to BMF a little easier once the paint is in place. Bumpers were Alcladed and wheels were reworked so that they would not stick out so much. Fun build though!!

cruz Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Saw your review of kit in the current issue of SA and wondered about the plug wires ... aren't review kits supposed to be built box-stock? Looks good, though! Hey, stop thinking out loud...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Nice work! Love the orange, GO VOLS!!Ditto from a Knoxville guy.Many years ago, I thought this would be cool to find as a 1:1, but would need larger wheels. I must say that this is a terrific build, but I don't think it looks right with the larger wheels in the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Very nice work on the Opel GT! One of my favorite cars, they were new when I lived in Germany. I was getting gas the other day and a brown one pulled into the station. You forget just how small these cars are until you see one up close again.
