Great job on a neat looking car. That blue you mentioned looks like a retro color from back in the 70's. Gary

Thanks Gary, This was a hard model to obtain here in Australia . Large scale models are very hard to get here , this one had to be shipped in from England . The one I would love to have is the Revel ford 32 roadster 1/8 scale ,They don't make it anymore ...I saw one on e-bay a month ago , was auctioned off for $550 American dollars , I'm not sure what that is in Australian dollars , but I believe that it would have been almost double that to get it to me , hmm Maybe one day lol

Album info

1/12 Revel Kit of the 2010 . I watched a lot of Youtube guys in the states building this car and most of them painted it beautifuly the same as the box top (sky blue) , but I like to be different and painted mine with a purl based maroon with the customary double white stripe . It looks great, and as soon as I can figure out how to add pictures on here , I will put them up.
The only problem I found with this kit is that it seems to ride to high . I could see how to lower the front ok, but am having trouble seeing where to alter the back . I'll keep working on that.
