Rattler # SB 1

[DAVE "THE DUKE" ARMSTRONG]

Rattler

I pulled a MIB kit out of the stash. I built it pretty close to the boxart, but changed the engine block color to yellow. Something I noticed once I opened the kit; on the boxart, and the few build-ups I’ve seen, the roof spoiler is the same color as the body; but in the box, it comes as a chrome piece. I decided to leave it chrome rather than paint it, be a little different that way. The decal sheet was nice and like new, glossy and flat. I thought, at least I won’t have any problems there! WRONG! Luckily I decided to test the small spoiler decal first; it broke up in the water. So I coated the rest of them with decal film. They STILL broke up. (sigh). I am getting to HATE old decals! Paint is Testor’s Boyd Lime Pearl.

It's probably herecy but I always preferred this version to the Horn Toad.

I still have the Rattler I built when it first came out, it was one of the very few models I built that survived all these years. I didn't paint mine, since the lime plastic was cool, but I really like the color combo on your build. It looks so much better !
