I was given a little bit of “creative freedom” due to sketchy resources.

He didn’t have the wider tires for the back wheels, and the frame was too short and bent, but he said we weren’t counting rivets. So, off I went. I don’t take a million pictures and the quality may be whack, but enjoy!!

Are you going to add any weathering?

No weathering. The guy said that he’d take care of it using local materials.

Very nice work! Shows what time and effort (and skill) can do!
I’m really amazed because I remember building this kit when I was a kid…I’m 76.
