Revell kit jacked up over aftermarket Aoshima rims.  RHD conversion.  396ci Big Block Chevy (the kit engine) wired with a resin Holley Dominator carbie, an alternator bracket (no magic floating alternators here), and an exhaust system built by rearranging the kit one and adding aluminium tube.
Topside and inside paint is Vallejo acrylic with rattle can clear over the kit transfers.  Underside paint is rattle can enamel.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'm like Chris.  <_<  Nice upgrade to the base kit, I also like the woodie flame job.

Old Wombat

Schwee-eet!  :mellow:

Oddly, I really like the colour ... :unsure: ... I think it's because it's pretty period accurate.  :thumbsup:

An original 'Porcupine head' motor! What's not to like in a GM wagon?   :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

Thanks folks.

I didn't like the wooden flame transfers when I first got the kit but they grew on me and they look good once in place.
The green is Light Green 75 Matt.  Vallejo 70942.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
