Cheetah
#1

Sometimes when you cobble together a car from parts - it just comes out well!!!

A few years ago I bought a bag of parts containing a Cheetah. No Idea of brand - almost looks plastic but I think it is Resin and thus think it is the Bauer kit. I really paid little for it - think the original owner had given up on it.

It had a Carrera cheetah chassis in the bag, that turned out to be tricky to fit. No Interior and no tyres. I really struggled to get any tyres and in searching could not find carrera Cheetah tyres (in europe). SO the ones on it are Carrera Mustang. Not perfect but look ok.

I cobbled together an interior made from a cast of the Cox Cheetah interior and plasticard with my own dashboard that I cast many years ago.
Doesnt look too bad.

Finised decalling last night and realised just how much I liked it. For me this version sits and looks like the real thing. I have the strombecker and Cox versions and to me this looks the bees knees!!

What do you think??

Start of the work!!

       


Complete for now (until I find the correct tyres)
