"Slightly Altered" Super Zinger

[TooOld]

This started as an incomplete old built up model . I repainted and replaced the engine with one from a diecast , added some wheelie bars from my parts box , and made some decals for it .
These kits can probably go together in a couple hours not counting paint , but I spent almost three weeks building this one . Guess that shows how slow I really am when it comes to building any thing .

Super cool!

Thanks Fletch and Jim !
Three weeks is lightning fast for me too , but for a kit that can be built in an afternoon maybe not .

Thanks Mike !
The small "Slightly Altered" decals are printed with a red background and for once it matches the paint perfectly ! Reds and oranges are always the hardest colors to match .

Yup, as predicted, a showstopper.
Great finish, Bob!

Thanks Chuck ! Those white walls were a real pain in the behind but worth the hassle .

Oh Yeah . . . that missing front wheel was there after all , stuck inside the tire !
