The U.N.C.L.E. Car has been painted with Tamiya TS-58 Pearl Light Blue. While I was at it, I painted the seats with Tamiya TS-29 Semi-Gloss Black.    The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will return... |

I agree with Joe! Never saw this color before. On my screen, it doesn't appear to have much blue in it. I may hafta grab some of that paint.

Keith, the paint shows more silver than blue, but it does look great when used with a clearcoat.

I worked on the UNCLE Car today. First modeling building I have done on this since painting the body on January 10th. I got the engine installed, front and rear suspension installed and the chassis cemented in place. I keep my hopes up, but this kit is a pile of doo-doo.    The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will return... |

Sorry Joe! This kit is what it is...a pile of crap! If you have the time, build it. If not, leave it in the stash!

I inserted the drive shafts through the transaxle and I found the driveshaft a little too short. I replaced the driveshaft with a piece of styrene rod that was longer and I trimmed the rod length to fit the wheels perfectly.    The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will return... |

Joe, if you do, do it with checking your kit for fits and issues. I did a mockup of the UNCLE Car this morning and all seems to be coming along rather well.    The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will return... |

Thanks Joe and Al! It's starting to look like a car now, but I still have a ways to go.

It’s definitely looks good after I see the work you put into it.
