Well i thought i would get started on the campaign, box cover and all the parts in the kit except instructions. I think this kit should be an easy build as the parts count is very low and it looks simple enough, as always i will make a few upgrades through out the build, next update will be of the engine which i will dechrome and start detailing as soon as i can make up my mind on which one i will build the VW or the Corvair engine it comes with both.

Thanks guys, Yoni i got it off ebay for $16.00 cheap for a sealed classic kit but i suspect that Revell has just started to repop these because i just saw this kit at one of my LHS's so after counting shipping i think i paid to much if it is a repop, i will be more careful next time, still it's a nice simple kit.

Well time for a small update, i added a front spoiler and a rear wing those will be the only body mods, the last pic shows the basic engine and the VW chassis, you can see all the sink marks i have filled there are more. Looks like my next step will be a primer coat on the body and chassis.

Don't think I have ever seen this kit before. Cool. The spoiler and rear wing looks good.
