Here is my next model, I love these late 50's cars. What was it about those great fins??

The color I mixed myself, an old Boyds green with some gold added untill it popped.

Are those bandit wheels? Lookin good so far.

Well, this did not turn out to be much of a WIP thread. I didn't take any pictures untill it was done. So here it is. I think I could have lowered it a bit more in front. Maybe next time...
All the chrome is Alclad, first time I used it. That stuff is pretty cool.
The wheels are from the old Bandit Trans Am kit, the aircleaner is scratch so you can see the engine a bit better. The kit's aircleaner is huge!

Nice! This kit seems to build up pretty good!! Your paint also helps it to stand out! Great work overall!! :sunglasse

Heh. Not much kit to make a WIP out of. Nice and clean build up. I LOVE the bandit wheel design. So, I think it works well here. Nice job removing the trim?(my 59 had nice trim mouldings on it, which it seems you have removed.) Great finish! Keep up the great work!
