Bought a new kit today and i'm very amazed by it !!

Here's something i brought today on sale today for something different to build soon. Its a kit from Testors and i have to say i'm very supprized at the amount of detail work in the kit. I know not everybody like's these type of cars here.... but it's a change !
So....just thought i'd share.

Opps, sorry...you posted at the same time.

Sorry, but i will use them on the kit.

You do realise that will all that engine detail you will have to build it with the engine semi apart. i.e. with one head sitting beside it.
It would be shame to cover up those moulded in valves, altough making the rest of the water jacket, and boring cylinders into the block should be fun :p

Looks cool! :sun:

its kind of a shame to cover up the cylinder head detail like that!

Wow, for a company that makes terible bottles paints, I'm quite impressed with thier model kits. Any other cars they make? It looks very nice and I love the valves/valvesprings :) .

At first I thought this was one of Testor's pre-painted kits. :D

Guess not.

OHH OHH OHH!!!!!

/me has cargasm...

If my modeling suits me right, i think there were 3 other cars in boxes like that one..
Coupster (http://www.reeldealfilms.com/model/Tes5313coup.JPG)
Smoothster (http://www.reeldealfilms.com/model/Tes5305smoothster.JPG)
Hauler (http://www.hobbylinc.com/gr/tes/tes5307.jpg)
I've only done tha hauler and i really liked the casting and was awesome...too bad i dont have it anymore. Hope this helps someone out.

Cool Car.
Hope to see more pics.

That looks awesome! Hope you build it soon Warren! You better ;)

I think those wheels that you put under it (not stock) suit it more, they look more custom like the car. You should save the engine for a diorama, chuck a spare Revell one in.
Would look interesting in a mixed darker colour ;) One that changes colour when the sun hits it?

That's a very cool kit :cool: Just wondering... Are the doors going to stay closed or will you open them up?

Hi P Man; I have the Smoothster. Same deal with engine but with a Chev LT1 this time. Bit basic with Suspension but OK. Sorry desc. is short guys but I am a bit preoccupied thinking about the death of an old school friend today. I am sure Possum will be missed by everyone that new him personally or just by reputation.

I'm sorry to hear about your lose today.



Looking very good on the kit.
They have all 3 kits on sale at the moment so it may be a trip back to get the other 2 !!

Very nice find! I have seen several of these, but was never brave enough to buy one. Guess now I have to hunt one down and add it to my stack!
