With the Wisconsin weather keeping me in a bit more, I completed and promo model I found on e Bay. I might add some door mirrors later if I come across some. I had fun making the Spectrum interior. Plus I finally found somewhere to use the CB piece.

No, I didn't paint the spectrum interior stripes. I used adhesive striping. The reason for the tape is I wanted to maintain width consistency, have a sharp edge and bright colors. I did have a small problem with the tape laying down at the ends of the bucket seats. A little glue took care of that.

You did a great job with this model Silver Bullet! Very, very nicely detailed, particularly the dash and console! I used to love building models when I was a kid, and still have almost all of them, including a few still un-built and in the original boxes. I also have some promos, but the boxes are unfortunately long gone. I still have an un-built MPC Volare Roadrunner too. I'm hoping that after retirement, I might be able to get back into it.
