    Monogram Orange Hauler.

    Built box stock, the kit has a date of 1990 (Second Edition) Great kit to build. I've added slash cut alloy exhaust pipes.

    The kit has fully working steering by the steering wheel.

    The only part missing was no. 49 which helped prop open the windscreen, so I cut a small piece of chrome sprue to take it's place.

          Hi Patrick
          Nicely done. Paintwork is excellent or is it the colours of the plastic.

            Thanks guys. Yes it is the colour of the plastic, as it was a quality moulding it polished it with Micro-Gloss.

              I remember this kit from when they first appeared in the 60's! Quite futuristic back then. Still a little out there now. Lovely job on the fit and finish Patrick.
              Cheers, Rick H.

                Well if that is the plastic you have done a great job of construction, can't see any glue marks and the polishing is excellent.

                  Thanks guys, yes the orange bodyshell was in fantastic shape so no paint required. I hand painted all of the small parts on the engine and suspension.

                    Looks like a fifties Pontiac concept car. Very cool. Excellent finishes. PaulE

                        Remember building one of these say back. Those Monogram show cars were nice kits.
