Thanks mates! Actually this thing was build around 10 years ago, as something to look at on my office table... It still stands there, so I took a few pics 🙂 Most things came pre-painted, i remember it as a nice & really easy-going build...

Grime on the block around the back of the deck is spot on! Shame the air cleaner is in place hiding those Holleys, detail is perfect

Thanks 🙂 the kit was really not built to leave anything open, details only where they can be seen once everything is actually in place...

Tim it´s already growing a small propeller on the front... I think... 😄

Thanks Tim, Spanjaard & Andy - an old build really, I hardly had any tools or colors at that time (old were long gone, new not yet purchased 🙂 ), so its really very OOB with a bit of washing & few touches here & there... Nothing is airbrushed here, most colors left as they came in the box, as is the metal - it´s the original silver and chromed plastic from the box with some basic surface treatment...

Haha, thanks Spanjaard & John...
This was done as a straight OOB job in the time my old (youth) equipment was already gone, but several years before my recent "re-entry" into the hobby. I wanted a nice office-table weight, saw the kit & it proved really nice - I only had some basic black, silver & some old oil & a bottle of (not odourless) turpentine as solvent, just pimped the contents of the box here & there really...
Turned out nice, still sits on the table, resisting all the elements an office life can throw at it! 😄

James, if you see one, definitely grab it, it´s a walk in the park and really nice parts & stuff - there were 1:6 scale 3 engines AFAIK, the smallblock really not cutting it, but this one and the ´vette engine are a good show!
I really feel ashamed getting any credit for this, it´s virtually: open box - put parts together & polish/sand/stress a few surfaces + some basic weathering... 😄

Your too modest mate, and If I come across one at a reasonable price I definitely will!

Album info
A couple of years old now, served its time as a paper weight before going to a still visible resting place in my office shelf...
I wanted to give it a "mildly used" look - all work done was a little paint here & there, washes and some fine sanding and polishing...
