The Red Baron.
My first Show Rod, got this kit the other day from a fella on this forum, thanks Tye.
I wanted a break from modding all my builds and have been in major scratch build mode on another project so decided on a Super fast build to keep me motivated.
This took about 4 hours start to finish. Straight out of the box, had to parts box some tyres as I couldn't find the ones that came with the kit, there may not have been any in there from the factory dunno but I needed some so I used some M&H Race masters on the back, and painted it in House Of Kolor Kandy Apple Red, the original looked like it was Kandy Apple so I thought I would use the same, used Acrylic so it would dry in about 3 minutes.

Re: The Red Baron.
This is the 1st time i've seen this as finished model. Great job, I think your "quick build" therapy might be just what I need at the moment, as I'm bogged down on a few projects right now.

Re: The Red Baron.
Allan If its the museum with it parked in a war like set i think I used a similar one as a reference for the colour.
OZ I like the fast builds, i'll see a somewhere in a certain colour or a car in a certain style that I think looks cool then grab a kit from my stash and smash it out. Big builds sometime put me in a rut, so seeing a fresh one finished helps get me back on track.
In the end some of my fast builds are some of my fav's definitely going to get some more show rods to build, there pretty fun..
