Under its unique custom surfboard-carrying body is an Austin Mini Cooper chassis. Power was supplied by a 1269cc Austin Mini Cooper chrome-plated engine. Ed tried to get Surfite in a movie that he heard was being filmed in Sportsman&#8217;s Cove in Malibu, and even though it was only a split second, Surfite made a brief appearance in Beach Blanket Bingo. Tool down to the beach in the Surfite, set up your Tiki Hut, sack out, and wait for the big one. This is the perfect set of wheels for the supreme surfer dude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Re-Release (Re-Pop) kit from Revell, Kit #4347, Surfite custom car and Tiki Hut. The model is 1\/25 scale and rated as a Skill Level 3 for the advanced builder. The build consists of 104 parts molded in White and Chrome <a title=\"1 by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/18636865465\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8882\/18636865465_6600dbe720_n.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"144\" height=\"102\" \/><\/a> and has Vinyl tires, a sheet of Clear Acetate and a pre-painted figure. While this looks like a simplistic build the chassis and motor is quite detailed. The body is a multiple part unit. The Tiki hut is multiple parts and needs detail painting to really stand out. There are three surfboards included and a figure of Ed Roth also. The decals are complete and include t-shirt designs for Ed.\u00c2\u00a0 Instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. There are two major units in this build, the car and hut. Overall dimensions are: CAR: Length: 3-3\/4&#8243;, Width: 2-3\/8&#8243;, Height: 3&#8243;. HUT: Length: 4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Width: 3\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Height: 4-1\/2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Covered in this Review:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 If you want to perfect your build; basic construction; preparing parts for better finishing; alternate assembly sequence suggestions for fit and ease of finishing; complete paint and adhesive selections and applications; test <a title=\"I by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/18449164050\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8852\/18449164050_584383e901_n.jpg\" alt=\"I\" width=\"170\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a> fitting; chassis assembly and detailing; complete engine and transaxle construction and detailing; dashboard detailing; using decal setting solutions for that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153painted on\u00e2\u20ac\u009d look; repairing a damaged figure; tire and wheel construction; improving the axle component; body assembly; decal preparation and application; window\/template construction; complete Tiki Hut construction and detailing; decorating the fire pit; surfboard decoration; \u00c2\u00a0chassis installation; making realistic looking tires; using \u00e2\u20ac\u0153clear\u00e2\u20ac\u009d glue for the windows; front and rear suspension construction and detailing; are all fully examined in this <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>14 page, full-color<\/strong> <\/span>Step-by-Step review in PDF format.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/?page_id=2932\" target=\"_blank\">100% money back guarantee!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Click the <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Buy Now<\/strong> <\/span>link below to purchase the full Step-by-Step review for <strong>$2.95 USD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/><br \/>\n<input name=\"hosted_button_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"T5UUM9XSBWWQL\" \/><br \/>\n<input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92015 All rights reserved. *All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.
