1972 Revell Henry J gasser

[donculley]

Just finished this recently. Its an original '72 issue , built to match the box art. I built the same kit back in '72 ; this is not a kit an 11 year old can build in one day, so you can imagine the mess I made of it. It was always one of my favorite kits, and I was lucky enough to score an original kit of Ebay . Building it now I could see why I ruined the first one ;the small and flimsy suspension parts, two piece fenders , ill fitting parts, etc. Paint is Testors Custom Laquer revvin red over a silver base .
Its not a show car, but I hope you guys like it !

Very nice Don, I always liked the early versions of these cars with the 5 spoke wheels, albeit they weren't Revells best toolings.

I agree with you on that, but they were so much better looking than those awful centerline styled wheels the later issues had !
