Avanti T/A Racer [Finished 4/7]

[dge467]

I figured it would be fun to build another Avanti. I had built one years ago on a Scaley Camaro chassis. The new one will be on a CG Slotcars Camaro chassis with a Slot it sidewinder pod. The body is out of the paint booth. More to come!



The first one I built some years ago.

That is cool

I like it. Some thing you don't see every day.

Both paint schemes look very good .

I am Interested in following your technique for chassis mounting.
I built the AMT Avante a couple of years back and found shaping side blocks for body mounting the most challenging task with the side panels curling under.

Yes it is the reissue. The silver one is a original.

I worked on the interior a bit. The back seat was cut out to clearance the motor and I made a roll bar out of some brass rod. The chassis is coming along too.

this is Such a cool thing. thanks.

It is finished and running laps! Body trim is done with chrome foil. I used CG Slotcars wheel inserts . The motor is a 18.000 RPM unit. Decals are from the model kit. This was a fun one to build!

[SpeedyNH]

wow! the detail there. impressive, to say the least.

[Dundee Denny]

Great that this kit is available to everyone at the hobby shops in our world and not just an eBay find!

then seeing what can be done with the kit like you have here, will motivate a lot of us to build one!!!

Yep, I got one of these kits too … and can only dream of finishing it anywhere near as good as this. Great job and really nice colour to boot..

With the big windows all that interior work is not lost.
