Swamp Rat XXX

[sam198]

It's been a while since I completed a build for various reasons, but this is my latest. Hopefully the next one doesn't take as long. I'm going to be on a drag racing kick for a bit and I always thought this was a cool car. It's pretty much a box stock kit from Revell and was rather a pain. This is by no means the best build of this kit, but in my defense, it wasn't the best kit either. Enjoy.

Mostly just the kit being old and some of the "tubing" being a bit warped and needing some help/surgery to line up correctly.  That and the decals took a fair bit of time, though in fairness, they are 30 years old.

With those long runs, the warping issue was not a surprise. Looks good and straight to me. I like the color in the engine detailing, too!

That looks good to me! You overcame the kit and came up with a winner.
