What can I say but, I love this T.D.
classic!
I remember buildin' the Paddy
Wagon as a kid and painting the body in Humbrol french
blue!..YUCK!
This is one of the latest paddy Wagon
kits, as the gold is only in chrome (Bummer!)
So!, I here you asking, why has this one
got gold parts? Years ago one of
you great blokes on the Show Rod site sent me a set of Paddy Wagon
scoops, engine parts & rims in gold for a project I was working on
at the time. (sorry I can't remember who it was!! But you'll know if
it was you and THANK YOU AGAIN!!)
I used the rocker covers, injection
& exhaust covers on this but the rest I painted over with a thin
coat of Tamyia clear yellow...looks just like the original plate as
long as you don't put too much on!
The rest is pretty much box stock
except for the paint colour (that's mid blue acrylic with heaps of
pearl looks great in the sun!)
