I saw one of these in the latest issue of Model Car Magazine in the 24 hour build section. I remembered that I had one of these in the closet. So I dug it out - a Blueprinter special from 35 years ago. So I already have my entries for next week's show completed and written-up so I thought I would just go ahead and build this one for grins. I don't have many WIP photos since this one moved pretty quick so I'll post them here. I had to do a little body work on the sink marks so it looks a little better. The paint is Dupli-Color Flash Red and Krylon Satin Sand Dollar (Tan). I preferred the tan to the white on this one. Its built box stock except for the Fireball Modelworks Goodyear decals that I added and sanded off the raised letter Goodyear on the tire. It went together surprisingly well but of course the chassis and engine were a bit disappointing and simple with metal axles. But nonetheless, it built looks pretty good for such an old kit. Thanks for looking! 👍
