And this build is a wrap, folks!!!
From across the big pond. Really, I picked up this kit in a department store in Pusan, Republic of Korea.

The kit is molded in black, so I polished it and covered it with Future. This is a snap kit, piece fit is precise. Only issue I have with it is the panel lines are very faint and the plastic is hard, so a scribe will jump out of the panel lines very easily.
Awesome models, LT75, Brian and Rick! I love the Hyundai, Rick!!! Beautiful build on the snapper!!! The Koreans have come a long way since I was there in 1973/74!!!
Here is what the guys at Mike´s speedshop have to offer:

Because of a strictly "work on sunday ban" from theyr ladies, the staff offers me a good discount on the Mercury if they may install the engine and some odds and ends next week. I said OK ... :) :)

Some really good looking builds. Senstat, I really like that purple Vette. I dated a girl in Ohio many years ago that wanted a purple Corvette. I was going to build her a model of one, but we broke up before I got the bodywork finished.
Great work and excellent models, y'all!!!
David...
It's not so much finding the acrylic paints, it is my very limited budget..... :(
Which is one of the reasons for wanting to try acrylics outside of Testors & Tamyia....
But, I'm going to try and see what I can do....though, maybe not so much between now and Christmas as I have other projects going for others....

Cool 😎 spy video!!! I was wondering just how LT75 was getting all those cars done so fast!!! Great job cracking this case!!!🏁
Great job everybody, on all the builds for this challenge. What's nice is that we get to see a bunch of builds done around the same time. Lots to enjoy looking at, and a good variety at that. Two thumbs up!!
Finally finished the Baja Bug. It was an exercise with fit and finish problems, tiny parts breaking, etc. The kit headers were junk, so I had to scratch a set. But I am satisfied with the result. I did have fun with it, though. It just took too long, but it did get me back to building!

Thanks, David. The headers are plumbing solder, and I didn't get them right the first time, either!
Lotsa very nice models here!
The baja bug is super cool, the old #6 racer as well. 8) 8)
