A funny coincidence, I had just finished the paint on the body, when we got the news that the real 1:1 car had been found! Rather appropriate timing for this, I think!
Now, being retired, I've really been getting into my older kits. I thought it was time to build one of my Uncertain T kits. Mint kit from my stash; I just wanted to build the car, I really don't care about the display or figure.
I got some helpful construction tips from Tim Boyd. Paint is a combination of Metalflake Testor's Revving Red and Fiery Orange laquer, Wet Look Clear. In some of the pics it appears a bit more reddish than it really is; sorry for the poor pics, I'm no photographer. Top is Tamiya Matte Black. Windshield chrome is Gundam Chrome marker. Went mostly smooth, except for one of those things- lost the license plate somewhere on the build table, or the carpet monster got it; I looked and looked, no dice. Used a plate from the parts box, and a decal (Montana- though neither the car or I am from there). Typical Monogram, so easy to build! Not perfect, I'm no pro. I hope I did justice to this iconic kit. Finally got one on the shelf- comments welcome!
