from the classic Roger Corman written and directed American International production starring Jan Michael Vincent.

The tank ends need a bit more fiing, then it'll be a little putty and black paint.

This really brings a smile to my face, Jon!

Jan Michael Vincent, the American Mel Gibson? Yes, I can see it!

Looks like you're off to a fantastic start!

Eagerly awaiting more,

Having seen Jan Michael Vincent in the abortion Hollywood made of Roger Zelazny's Damnation Alley where they jacked up the title and ran and entirely different story underneath, I can believe this story quite easily.

Beautiful work on the model.

Looking good  :)  And good use of that AMT supercharger (anything but a Paxton blower is sacrilege on a Studebaker!)
