Jeep Dune Buggy... Done...

Posted by Brizio on Thursday, March 4, 2010 3:10 PM

Some days ago I start to play with this old MPC from the 60's...

It is very nice, nice plastic, you can build it in 3 way, I will choose to build it like the box art. And hopeful still using the original decals, but I'm thinking to paint the stripe.
The box... Love those old kit... With the news paper instructions size...
I think also to build it straight out of the box. But I prefer to paint the stripes, instead to use the decals.

Chassis and wheels done... The brand on the wheels are painted.

More progress...

The body almost ready, need a flat black under and upper it.

And the seats...

Thank you for looking!

The kit has also a tool box, I think it is supposed to go with the "Service", one of the 3 way to build this kit. Smile
But I think it would bee col also on the Dune Buggy, just in case... You know "It is a Jeep things"... Big Smile Confused

So painted, and decided to put those MPC decals, that I never know what to do with it...

Finally I'm done with it. I had a lot of fun and it is kind of a miracle for me, see a model done in around 10 days... ;D

Also if it is straight out of the box required a lot of works, above all for paint the body. Like I said I didn't used the white stripes for the body, because the decals were so old, and fragile, so I preferred to paint all the stripes. But I used the number and the two sponsor decals, that they are still working pretty good, and unfortunately they shown their age... But I think it is not to bad... :)
Soon I'll take more and better pics...

Another one on the shelf! :)
I had a lot of fun building it straight out of the box...
It required a lot of patience because of all the paint works... Fortunately came out the sun the last few days, so it helps to dry the paint better! :)

Enjoy the pics...
