Here's another re post of an old build. Dale Earnhardt ARMY Laguna. Mostly box stock with RevelloGram wheels and tires, exhaust made out aluminum tubing and ride height adjusted. Yesterdays decals with my tire decals.

I doubt it is correct but I believe used Tamiya TS 12 Orange on that car.

Wow! That is surely one of the nicest S3's I've seen built. Well done. I didn't realize the wheels were poseable, or is that something you added?

The MPC chassis has steerable wheels. But the tie rod is somewhat fragile in it's connection with the spindles, so most modelers glue it locked straight. If my memory serves me right, the original run of that chassis in the early '70s, when the molds were fresh and crisp, allowed the tie rod to sort of 'snap' on to the spindles, allowing movement. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |
