I like the top half of that motor it looks pretty agressive. I think you should add a nos bottle to give it a final touch.

I think it has one....just hadn't been added yet.... Good call!

Short update....

2 coats of primer... 2 mist coats in Model Master Lime Green and Testors Black (each)... 2 Full Coats in MM Lime Green and Testors Black (each)... Waiting a couple more days for curing... Then will apply clear coat and detail the body....

Had a little overspray in some areas... Will need to clean that up for sure...  title=

Thanks

Cool!  title= Thàt's a Beretta color combo you don't see every day. Very nice Chuck!
Speaking of which, it's funny to see a Beretta in Pro-Street costume. There are quite a few of them in my area, together with the 5-door Corsica. Mostly they are driven by elder gentlemen with a top hat, thin moustache and stern-looking glasses. I never thought this would make a raw PS car.

So I didn't have a decent set of decals with this kit, so I really needed to get creative... Not too sure if I am happy with this look or not, but it works....  title=

Thanks

No don...they are actually two simple air filters sitting on two carbs. the engine is a little flashier than it needs to be... It will do a 1/4 mile in 17 seconds at best  title=

Sorry for the double post, but the great news is this one is done!!! I am unable to post this to my gallery until next month, but here are a few teaser photos. Overall, I was quite happy with this kit. For as old and cheap as it was, the kit had very few fit issues and the molding wasn't too bad.

I have to admit that I am still not quite where I feel my skills could be... I left a lot of things undone where I could have just spent a little extra time and got them right. I thank everyone for their encouragement and promise to get better with these WIPs.  title= Thanks for looking!

[One or more photos deleted. Please post only two completed WIP photos.]

Thanks

Haha, that's one wicked ride. Great work on the paint scheme and the decals. Another nice Pro-Streeter, well done Chuck!  title=
