Start of a Syclone

Well started on the GMC Syclone tow truck for my funny car and trailer.




I am going for a bright red vinyl and grey leather interior (should have pictures tomorrow) and Nissan Red 526 for the body work.

Added the arch extensions and will smooth tomorrow when dry.
EDIT

Its the Revell kit.
I am looking at smoothing out and fitting ground effects at the rear, keeping it quite standard as I dont want to detract from the car it will be towing.
Specs on the pickup are:-
1/4 mile in 13 seconds at 103 MPH
4.3 Liter 285hp V6

Nothing compared to what it will be towing

The Drag car is next to be built but as I have not modeled for a while, I thought I would get my hand back in with the tow car.
Thanks for the feedback ol'dude

Re: Start of a Syclone

Molded? If you need to mold the body, why not just modify the 66 olds cutlass 442 to fit your needs?
