Well, it's done! Done all box stock, except for the BMF on the grill and the rib on the hood. I really had a blast building this, a lot more than I first thought. Decided to keep it box stock and not worry about adding extra details or changing what was in the kit. Just build for the fun of it, and it was fun! Decals were a trick, between being over 20 years old and adding a coat of liquid decal film, but they laid down pretty good. Should have tried bagging and putting them in a window to try and bleach the carrier film, but oh well. Trimmed a little close in a few places, but managed to touch them up. Want to do another one now, and see if I can add some detail to it, but all in all I highly recommend this kit. Had hoped to take some outside pics, but the weather is just not going to cooperate! Thanks for looking.     |

I have to admit, I didn't think you were going to take it much past looking like a toy... man, was I wrong! It turned out GREAT!
This id one that I am going to put on my list of kits to try to find.

Thanks yall! John, I wasn't too sure how it would turn out myself when I started on it, but am really, really pleased with it. Learned quite a bit, and now want to do another to try some detailing on it. Especially if I can find some different decals, which are kinda scarce. One big thing would be changing out the knock offs to some that are a bit more prototypical. Got a bunch of other ideas as well, let me know if I can be any help with it.
