  This impressive kit features an excellent paint job.  Multiple shades of purple have been applied by Revell on the main components, including some wild graphics on the upper fuselage.  Detail parts come pre-painted in reds, creams, tans, and grays, leaving only some minor touch-up work for the builder in the paint department.  However, there are no decals or stickers provided or required.

  The finished kit looks rather nice, especially with its intricate paint job.  A two-piece gloss black stand is included, allowing the builder to display the kit in flight.  Piping details add an uncommon level of detail (and complication) for a skill 1 kit.

RoR Project PC1970 – Trash to Treasure

1970 Oldsmobile Indy 500 Pace Car

            As the old expression goes, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” I found a broken Toymax^TM Street Rod Wireless Radio Remote Control Car for sale on the internet for around $12. Of course there was no remote controller for the toy and the wiring was damaged anyway – but I just wanted it for the body so it didn’t matter. This toy was manufactured in 1999 as a 1970 Olds 442 W-30 a slammer model (nothing opens and you can’t see into the interior) as a top-up convertible. That made it the perfect candidate for an Indy Pace Car conversion!

Toymax 1970 Olds 442 W-30

            The body has pretty good detail for a toy product and with the help of some Fred Cady^TM decals I was able to save about $150 off the price of a Danbury Mint^TM collectible of this scale model and still have a nice display for my collection.

This kit is part of Revell’s growing line of fully licensed Star Wars™ kits. These have been marketed in Europe under the Revell Germany flag, but have now been repackaged for the US market. The kit comes in a typical Revell (USA) box, with the top half fully decorated with attractive artwork that any Star Wars™ fan would appreciate.

For the Modeler: Inside the box are nine (9) sprues plus two figures, with a total parts count of 33 parts (including the figures). There was no damage to any of the parts in my kit. One feature of these kits is that they are pre-decorated. Because this was a review, I chose to build the kit as a snap model and did not repaint any of the pieces. I completed it in its “box stock” state; I then weathered the model to bring this kit to life. My review will be broken down in two parts – a box stock review, and a discussion on weathering techniques To see how to make your Imperial Shuttle kit into a showpiece for your collection in the Step-by-Step Review.

To see the full build and review – just select one of these payment methods for $2.99 USD.
