This is the Revell GMC Syclone in 1/25. The original issues were molded in black, which made sense since nearly every Syclone was black. There were some very few exceptions, which you can read about here. The kit was reissued by Revell around 2010 or so, and that version was molded in white. I built this one using an original issue. There were no fit problems, other than self-inflicted ones. In retrospect, I should have worked to lower it some. I decided to go with a non-factory, non-special edition color scheme. I used Testor's spray lacquers. It's a fun build and I have a couple of more in the stash. Interestingly, the most recent release (2010) included decals to do most of the Marboro special edition. You'd need to source the correct wheels and create your own Marboro logo for the windshield. But, you get the stripes. Maybe I'll do something similar to that next time? |
