A funny coincidence, I was talking with Joe and let him know that this was the kit I was working on now. I had just finished the paint on the body, and two days later we both heard the news that the real 1:1 car had been found, and was going to be restored and showed! Monogram Uncertain T Now, being retired, I've really been getting into my older kits. I thought it was time to build one of my Uncertain T kits. Mint kit from my stash; I just wanted to build the car, I really don't care about the display or figure. Paint is a combination of Metalflake Testor's Revving Red and Fiery Orange lacquer, Wet Look Clear. Sorry for the pics, in some it appears a bit more reddish than it actually is. Top is Tamiya Matte Black. Windshield chrome is Gundam Chrome marker. Went mostly smooth, except for one of those things- lost the license plate somewhere on the build table, or the carpet monster got it; I looked and looked, no dice. Used a plate from the parts box, and a decal (Montana- though neither the car or I am from there). Typical Monogram, so easy to build! Not a perfect build, I'm no pro! I hope I did justice to this iconic kit. Finally got one on the shelf- comments welcome!          |

Looks great. Now Imagine, armed with the research, to have a series of them in their 3-4 different colors. Think about that not just for this showrod, but many that were painted different colors in their active show lives?

Superb! I wish I could find another, mine was a resin moulded version from Australia.

Super nice work on this Dave. Love seeing these built. So much better than sitting in a box.
