Well, after a lot of work and some delays, the Citation X-11 is finally done!
While the Revell kit (an old Monogram) isn’t the best car kit I’ve built, it really wasn’t bad, and it’s quite accurate, other than the bloody turbocharger on the engine. I build this one in the “Light Fern Metallic” colour that I’ve never seen photo evidence of on a Citation, but that the brochure did say was a colour.
You know, with the nice wheels, a suitably subdued colour scheme and the blacked out trim, I really don’t think the Citation looks bad at all. Sure, it was kinda geeky in its day, but by today’s standards, it’s pretty distinctive and does look, dare I say it, a bit mean!
Check out my little green machine here, and let me know what you think!
Thanks!

Thanks!
I appreciate the compliment. I like to build 'em factory fresh! I figure, they all looked like that at some point; it's nice to remember them that way!
