1/24 Testors Ultra Detail T Bucket--Completed

[mustang1989]

Here's some of the "fun" that I was talking about. I had a bobby pin to replace the chrome plated bulky and clunky shift lever that I sanded the black "shifter knob" smooth and painted the "8 ball" number onto. I also had a Bob's Burger Barn bag kit and built the bag up this morning and glued that into place. I'm currently waiting on a set of 1/24 scale soda cans so I can put a Coke beside the bag in the seat.

After finishing the dash up using a hole punch from Micro-Mark that helped out a LOT with cutting the gauges out from the decal sheet. Here's after gluing them on the back of the bezel. MUCH better now!!

Thing works like a charm.

Here's with the rear wheels assembled complete with lug nuts and studs making up a total of 10 parts per rear wheel and tire assembly. To say that I was very pleased with the results would be an understatement.

and they look right at home on this car.....

Here's the finish after only five weeks of work.

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.
