This kit was a lot fun to build. It was quite a challenge, even though engine details were at a minimum for this kit. It came with no belts, fan, or distributor. Painting the trim and panels were very difficult and required small touch-ups here and there. The colors used were Camel Yellow, Mica Red, and Clear, all by Tamiya. The Dragon was Airbrushed and Hand-painted. The Kit also was extremly fragile due to the small thin suspension and tiny chrome details. Fit was perfect and I really like the Finished car. Thanks for Looking!

That is really sweet Cody! Just goes to show how these old re-issue kits, which are seemingly easy to build can look in the right hands. I have a few more left to build. I'm inspired now. Great job. Rock  Old Cree Indian Proverb: He who is long in tooth, sometimes wind up with blood on beak!

Thats one nice clean build! I love the trim and you did a perfect job on the dragon. Is that bucked on the passenger side what I think its for? Nice work.

The paint job is spectacular... That monster should "appear" in some of your future builds...  Become your mascot or something... Thanks

Thanks guys! Sorry Chuck but the Dragon is Barricaded in by the glued panels. Plus I dont trust him. I lost my exacto knife and I know he had something to do with it!  Cody J.
