An altered rendition of the Depth Charger.
I moved the cab forward to fill what I considered to be an awkward empty space on the frame. Of course, that compacted everything, including the wheel base.
The speargun got a new home (rather than mounting it on the side tank, pointed at the front wheel) 
The fronts are from a snap Sting Ray kit, so I guess that's fitting. 
Painted Diamond Dust and Bahama Blue with Deja Blue accents.
I tried not to overdo the decals (and they give you so many!), and still ended up using some leftover odds and ends.
T'anks for lookin! |

Shortening it certainly improved the looks of that kit! Well done!

All good changes, and a great build. I really like the paint choices too.

This is a great build love the custom touches on it. I will have to finish mine with a twist as well.

The shortened wheelbase looks sooooooo much better ! One of those "Duh , why didn't I think of that !" modifications .  |

Thanks, guys.
This was a kit I never thought I'd build.
I had 3 in the stash (somewhere I'd gotten a great deal on them, and thought "Great parts, and I might do a version of the Gypsy Wagon!").
I had built a Royal Rail, and then dismantled it, but then, I put together a Flameout, and after that, well,
I figured I COULD find a place on the shelf (and they need a bit more) for these Gumball tired kits.
On a tangent, for us oldsters, I looked at the cab, before I put on the visor, and thought, "OMG, it's Master Cylinder from Felix the Cat"! You youngsters, look it up. Maybe you'll build a Robo-car.

Shortened up fer shur, but still not too complicated to look at! That's some clean build with an excellent finish. Kudos!
