    Nice! I had one of those many years ago and remember there being not many parts.

    Yeah Andy but it's amazing what a little time can do with the less expensive models if they fit decent. Very nice Trey. You guys amaze me!

    Andy ,Aaron thanks. You're right not many parts at all and the canopy was waaaay thick

    I cut it up and used the center for the inner windscreen armor panel. I also had to scavenge an instrument panel left over from a build . I know its not true to the type but it was better than the flat plain panel that came with the kit

    I also added a floor and the red trim wheel along with the inner tanks that ran along the seat

    Nice job. I like taking an old kit and working it up into something.

    Very nice! I started that kit but some how never finished it so I know how very basic it is. How did you do the canopy? Make it or buy it aftermarket?

    Thanks for the kind words Gents,
    Glenn the canopy is a crystal clear aftermarket
