This is a kit that I bought started from a mate, so I decided to finish it off for him staying with the colour he chose.
It's the old old Revell '70 AAR kit so the body shape isn't too bad.
I had a few paint issues with it along the way but it came out OK, biggest issue was no decals in the kit, so I used the decals from the next generation AAR kit, hence they don't quite fit right but ...hey I'm not that bothered.
The windscreen was cracked so that's how it stayed, wasn't going to go so far as getting a replacement.
It's built mainly out of the box with exception of tubbing the rear end and using the fat rear tyres off the old MPC Daytona, then lowered front and back to get a more realistic stance.
Lots of engine detailing (that's my thing) even a dipstick.
Last thing was a few touches to the interior, I added seat belts made from dress making ribbon and Model Car Garage P/E buckles.
Anyway enough blah blah blah here's the pics.
