I just finished this little kit up,not much to it really. I added some scratch interior parts and a new canopy . Fun little build for a $7.00 investment

thanks for looking and all comments welcome

Nice! I had one of those many years ago and remember there being not many parts.

Yeah Andy but it's amazing what a little time can do with the less expensive models if they fit decent. Very nice Trey. You guys amaze me!

 

[treyzx10r]

Andy ,Aaron thanks. You're right not many parts at all and the canopy was waaaay thick

I cut it up and used the center for the inner windscreen armor panel. I also had to scavenge an instrument panel left over from a build . I know its not true to the type but it was better than the flat plain panel that came with the kit

I also added a floor and the red trim wheel along with the inner tanks that ran along the seat

Nice job. I like taking an old kit and working it up into something.

Nice work on a basic kit, well done mate!

 

[T Bolt]

Very nice! I started that kit but some how never finished it so I know how very basic it is. How did you do the canopy? Make it or buy it aftermarket?

 

[treyzx10r]

Thanks for the kind words Gents,
Glenn the canopy is a crystal clear aftermarket

 

[Wayne Little]
