The Twister Vega

[59impala]

I built this awhile back.  It's the MPC kit, first issue.  I painted it Lime Gold over the Black plastic.  It turned out kinda Green metallic.  I also used the kit decals.  It's basically out of the box with the exception of the windows.  I used Black Acetate for them.  It looks Ok on the shelf.  Thanks fer lookin.

Great looking hot rod! Very interesting paint color. I don't have any Vega kits. I might have to look into one of these. Nice build!

thanks Steve. It's not a very good kit, but it does look good when built. I was surprised with the color outcome. I didn't expect how it turned out. This was my first time painting Lime Gold over Black.

I've looked at it several times now. It looks pretty good. It's a color like no other, so it kinda stands out.

WOW, thanks Steve. It was an experiment that I like how it turned out. I didn't know what the color was really going to be when I sprayed the Lime Gold over the Black and I liked it and so, kept it. I originally thought that the Gold would have showed up a more Gold color but was satisfied with how it turned out.

I like the color! I'm going to use it on a future project. That got a blower on it? Paul

Wasn't this kit supposed to be reissued recently ?

People have said that it was supposed to be re-issued as the Bruce Larson car, but I have no clue about that.
