Since I'm stuck at home, this will be my build thread.  I wish it was a full size Grand Sport, but I'll have to settle for a 1/24 one for now.  I picked up this box and opened it today and here is where I am.  Apparently one picture at a time...

Now I discover that none of my bottles of model paint are any good, so I order some from Tower Hobbies.  The frame and longblock are finished to the point that I need to paint them before going further.  I've built a couple of these, years ago.  My eyes were better then so we will see how it goes.  I still have one more unbuilt kit, but it's the blue GS IIRC.

Looks like a high quality kit.

Probably 20-25 years old.  They don't make models like this anymore.

We saw a 1:1 one at Amelia Island this year.

I was going to go totally insane with jealousy, but now that I realize it isn't full size I'll probably just walk around and mutter to myself for a little while!  Enjoy the build! smiley

Yes! More model cars! Everyone's doing it now :D

Maybe we can keep at least a few industries afloat during this crisis. (Modeling, paint, and glue companies, I mean.)

Sub-assemblies while waiting for paint.

Any chance you got pics of the Chaparral?
