As it is so hot here in Arkansauna, I decided to "Kool" off with a model from Dave.
I was going to do the Eagle 5, but decided to attack this one first.
After finding the length of the actual vehicle, I rescaled it down to 1/87 scale.
I printed two copies, with the intention of layering some parts. Then I saw the
print at the bottom of the kit where Dave says do it for extra detail.
After looking at pictures, I decided to layer panels, hatches and the wipers.
I also chose to use my doming block, to modify the front and rear wheels.
I did use the optional tire treads and added an interior plate to each wheel.
In addition, I added a "chassis" to give some structural integrity.
Other additions include side mirrors, that I added polished foil to give a mirror
appearance, which you can see in the rear pictures, as well as the wreaths on the front and side door.
Here it is. A fun, short time build.
