Another of those revved up roadsters from MPC way back when.
The T Bomb:

While the tires and mags are the same as the Darracq and the Piping Hot, the headers differed.

Not part of the kit, but I felt it needed that tank (parts bin bits).

Painted Gloss Krylon Ivy Leaf and Semi-flat black.

Brass is all spray or gel marker/pen.

Hand cut acetate window glass and homegrown replacement decals.

Thanks for lookin'!

Thanks, Dave, I had to ponder where I was going with the colors.
A muted color just seemed more fitting than all black or some fancy metallic.

and I had to correct my entry above.
While "Gloss Moss" rhymes, turns out the actual color is Krylon Ivy Leaf.

It's an interesting look.

I bought one of those kits a while back (maybe a year or two?) Good to see what it looks like built. I don’t have any of the others in the series, but I thought the T looked kind of cool, especially being an earlier style (pre-23).

Could be the first ever "Cab-forward" beating Chrysler by many decades . I kind of like the look with the top on it !

You certainly spiffed up this little jewel and in all
the right places ! Nice touch with the addition of the top also .. great body color pulls your eyes right to the center . Awesome job all the way around buddy 👌 .
