SPA Modeler

This one has its problems, but it did go together fairly easily. Even being painted up already it still took me the better part of 5 weeks to finish this one. Most of it was me adding details where I thought it would benefit the car the most. The addition of the aluminum Tru-Wires from Miniscurtr8zing up front and the aluminum Weld Aluma Star wheels from Futurattraction out back were the biggest improvements. Most of the other additions were subtle but made the car more enjoyable to build which was stuff like the Bob's Burger Barn bag from Scale Modeling Equipment and the Coca-Cola can from AK in the seat, bobby pin with "8-ball" pained up shifter knob for a shifter lever and some details picked out on the engine like the AC Declo decal on the oil filter, belt part number scripts on the blower belt and starter painted up and detailed out.

If you're looking for a fun build where you only have to add a few choice extras to make it "pop" then this little kit is the hot ticket. Aside from a few minor issues to contend with, this thing was a complete BLAST to build.

I really had a TON of fun with this one Stuart. The Tru-Wire wheels really put this build over the top for me. I've already got another set for the next build like this.

Thanks Tom. The beauty about this kit is that it is already pre-painted. Takes half of the work out of it and allowed me to concentrate on the detailing aspects of the build.

Gorgeous! Shiny, Too.

Thanks Lyle. The only real thing I didn't like about the kit was those stupid plastic front spoked wheels. Tru-Wires came to the rescue.

Those wheels are nice. Just what she needed!

It really was.....

I didn't like the rear wheels OR tires either so it got a TOTAL wheel and tire swap. Rear wheels are from Futureattraction and the tires were from my spares bin. Between the wheel and tire there are 10 parts for each wheel and tire assembly. Lug nuts and studs are separate pieces.

These are the OOB wheels and tires:

Yuck... doesn't look right those OOB slicks.
