Unhappy Hasagawa 66 Buick Wildcat

Before the pics let me just say this must rank as one of the poorest kits I have ever made. In real car terms its a lemon, or to the folks in the UK a Friday afternoon car at british leyland.
There were sink marks both in the hood (4 ) and in the trunk (2) the front 1/4 lights were flashed over and everything else was just plain too simplyfied.
The only things I actually liked were the whitewall inserts for the tyres.
The car itself is a great shape but the kit was let down by some very poor moulding, not to Hasagawas usual standard certainly.
Anyhow the paint is a mix of all the bits I had left from my other Model Colour Worx paints from Gundam1969.

There was a whole run of these kits, which I think date to some ancient motorized tooling. I built this very same kit (sold the built-up on eBay, never should have) and just as you've done, they can make presentable shelf models with a little work.

I concur with Ray I built the Bonneville years ago 9before I found AF) and the experience was forgettable.
