1992 Viper RT/10 project

hey I built this kit a few years ago before i got better.. and it actually looked (at the time) halfway decent.. I can take pics of the engine if you want.  I didn't super detail it, I just did it as the instructions said.  Sadly it looks more like a wrecked Viper now (missing a couple wheels, no hood XD)

As far as assembly, while it seems to be tight (because its packed in there) it actually goes together really well.  The only thing I remember for sure having problems with (that are still apparent) was the fact it calls for the side pipes to be black, but they're chromed and back then I didn't know how to strip chrome 

LOL. It's funny you mention the GTS. It's in my stash as well! After I'm done with the RT/10, I have a AH-1Z chopper I want to do, then off to the GTS, which will definately be blue with the white stripes.

Here is the W.I.P. thread for my Huey. The pictures are just slightly outdated. I'm almost through with it:

I agree, I've never liked the "red sports car" look, too gaudy... no surprise when you see them recked up on the news or pulled over on the side of the road.

The blacks always been up there on my list, although I do also like their old mix of blue body/white stripe.

This one's a '96 and my prefered GTS style, but...

Of course that's just me... guess it's pretty attention grabbing in it's own right. haha it is a Viper after all.

Looking forward to seeing the Huey finished and the Viper on the bench- that 1:1 you have has some really cool history behind it, thanks again for sharing.

Yeah, I'll keep the W.I.P. right here. I just finished washing the trees today. They're drying right now. I have about 2 hours worth of work left on my Huey, then on to the Viper. And yes, the RT/10 I'm doing is the convertible. It shows on the box to paint it bright red, but I'm not sure...I think I may go with gloss black. I saw a black one on the internet today and I really love the way it looks... Here's a link to the pictures of the black RT/10:

And a picture of how the one on the box is supposed to look:

This one isnt a 1992 model, but the black looks awesome I think:

I'm sorry, can't help you on the images- but I can tell you this is my favorite 1:1 car

Hmmm... the RT/10 is the convertible right? I take that back- I like the hard top- either way- looking forward to this build, are you doing the WIP right here? I'll be watching out for it.
