This is an old Monogram kit that I won in a raffle at the last HAMS model car contest. I wouldn't have bought it but it only cost me $5 in raffle tickets so I thought I would build it and try my first 2K urethane clearcoat on it. I think it came out pretty well! I painted it with Dupli-Color Bahama Blue Metallic with a Krylon tan interior. It is a very low parts count kit and my first thought was that it was a snap kit but it is not. After paint, I rubbed it out with 3,000, 5,000 and 7,000 sandpaper and Scratch-X then applied the two part clear with an airbrush. I think the experiment was a success and you can read more about it in the WIP section. The engine and chassis are not a plus in this kit and I don't display it with the hood open. I also removed the side pipes and replaced them with a trim piece from the 67 Corvette that I painted black. The tire lettering are decals from Fireball Modelworks. Thanks for looking! 😎
