I love these Corvair powered Renault based showrods. I have them all, this is the 2nd finished. Tamiya French Blue, MRC wheels and tires, slight mod to chassis to look better. I made the flowers too as kit parts were just small circles. Thanks for looking. Hello Atlantis?? Do you have.........    |

Good to see this one "in the flesh". Nice clean build, but since I never opened this kit when I had it, does the extra tire and the luggage stuff on the top come with the kit?

Because I used the MRC wheel and tire in place of the Revell units in the kit I used a kit front tire as shown on the box. Luggage is in the kit....I made the stickers on them. Kit comes with decals for the luggage but just color squares. Thanks

They say you shouldn't mess with the classics but when it ends up with something as sweet as this, I'm all in favour of messing!

Really nice work! Excellent choice of using the torque thrust mags instead of the ones that came with the kit.

Great rendition!
I have a sealed one in the stash, saving it as one of my "when I retire" builds.
That blue looks perfect, and the wheel swap works as well.
Thumbs up!
