My next model, the 1/25 AMT/Round 2 Munster Koach.

I went to the Birmingham NEC toyfair with my wife & I managed to pick up 4 model kits & they were right bargains too.
I started on the engine, which TBH is not a full engine, just a basic few parts (shame there isn't an aftermarket full detailed engine)
Then came the tyres, which were described as "full racing slicks" but it was a shame they wern't rubber, I did have a slight problem getting the chrome rims to slot into place on the rears, but they went in eventually.
However I couldn't paint the raised Firestone logos with the same success I had on the Ford Cosworth logo on the engine block of the indycar, so I re-painted them over with the anthracite, im going to try & source some Firestone F1/Indycar Decals, but not sure if they will fit the rear tyres, as they are drag-racing slicks.
Then I started on the interior tub & 4 coats later of red on top of white primer, it turned out great.
Now to start on the main bodyshell & exterior construction.
Cheers,
Wayne.
