om617 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) First one done for this year. This went a little better then the Cuda even if i made many mistakes and arent too happy about it. What is done is i bashed a AMT Viper coupe for suspension,engine,transmission,brake booster and engine managment. The rear back up lights was made out of clear parts three,inspired by two other builders on this forum. The plenum and intake is from Revell (Thank you evilbay lol). The steelies are from a member on here,dont remember hes name but has ebay store. The dog dish are from Missing Link and are great. Paint is tamiya,dip stick is home made,alternator wire is just wire lol. Heater hoses are wire isolation,radiator hose is scale production,the hose clamps are Top Studio. Exhaust is modified Cuda AAR. I regret having some blackwash on the engine,because now it looks dirty. Also the rear window is a joke. Anyway,thanks all for the tip and suggestions in the WIP. Here are some pics. Thanks for watching,and if you like it or hate it,let me know. Edited March 30, 2014 by om617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om617 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks all for the kind words It`s a nice kit beside the rear window,to thick and the dumb method of molding the rear bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Fantastic build and so SHINY :) . Try putting a drop of flat black on the exhaust pipes - gives the pipe a hollow look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
