Mako Build cruising on this Memorial Day!!

[Dundee Denny]

Boyz bought this Mako kit off eBay years ago, came in a hefty bag missing parts.

Figured it was time to see what kind of build we could make!!

Going to use a Scally Porsche Boxer for the donor chassis and motor that a got for $10 at a swap meet in Canton, MI this winter.

Had to stretch the length of the chassis just a little, yet the width was perfect!!

The Boyz first coat is some GM Honduras Maroon from Model Master and still noodling the accent color!

Boy, that looks tasty. I have been noodling on the classic blue/white fade or a different color. This looks fantastic.....I am not normally a Vette guy, but I love the Mako.

[TuscoTodd]

WOW!
The Boyz definitely picked a winner of a color for that body!
Bravo!!!

[TAMELESSTGR]

That color is great !!!

I have that kit as well and would like to do a few versions.

[RichD]

I love that red! I did this resin pop a few years back.

[Dundee Denny]

Really like your “two-tone” version thanks for sharing!

Boyz going to have a few beers while social distancing and come up with their version

Dundee Denny, That came out nice. Good color choice.

Nice one, Denny. Don't you hate the way some shades of gold metallic look just like silver when photo'd? I use the Tamiya champagne gold, too, and it always looks just like yours does in pictures.

[Fathead59]

Way , what you are getting is the flash from the camera . To bad we can't get a daylight picture of the color , might be different

[Wobble]

Great stuff. I like the champagne gold and maroon … they do sit together nicely. Gotta add that to the memory banks before I forget.

[Dundee Denny]

Finally the Holiday Weekend allowed the Boyz time to finish up the Mako and run with the other Mako in town!!

Decided to dull coat this version last minute.

Runs very, very well with it's Boxer underpinnings keeping up with the Pioneer engine/chassis on the blue version!!
