Raiders Coach – part 2

Time for an update on this project.

Time for som primer!

Some parts had to be turned over.

After some additional sanding and filling and sanding again, most parts actually got primer.

The seats and areas on the coach sides got some yellow paint.
Then the yellow was masked off and the parts was painted black. The engines and transmission was painted fire red.

Then rims and some other parts got some Molotov chrome.

At the moment I’m working on the keyboard and amplifiers that sit in the compartment.
Quite a lot of masking and painting to do on them.

Sometimes the kit is a bit confusing as it doesn’t match the real thing. Just details, but still.
The exhaust pipes seems to meet up on the outside of each engine, but not on the kit. I just wonder how hard can it be?
Also they have added decals that doesn’t show on the real car. I’ll try to get it look as good as I can and then add some artistic license.

Raiders Coach – HLI Secret Santa build

I got this kit from my Secret Santa on HLI (Hobbylink International).

Inside the box.

After som cleaning up, I started building the engines.

It’s an old kit and requires some work in the form of scraping and filling ejector pin holes.

I’ll sand and refill if neccessary.

It’s a fun car and I’ve tried to do some research. Many pics are in B/W or from the built kit.
As far as I can determine, the front should be orange even if it looks red on the box.
The engine and parts of the frame is red and the real one had striping done on the frame.
