Well it took long enough. This is my first build of the year. I really struggled with motivation this year, too many things going on in real life. I restored this from a semi-glue bomb and some of the chrome isn't perfect, some of the parts aren't perfect. The problem I had was the windshield frame fit, it's still not as I would like it.....but it will be fine on my shelf! I did make the windsheild since the original was too rough. I want to thank Ron S. for the other header I was missing and Greg Holland aka VSRN for these decals he made! My goal was to get this thing restored before it's reissued....that's the fun in doing these old kits over again! I hope you like it.....I need to get another one going now! haha

Nice build . I remember this kit when it was new along with the Green Hornet . You did a great job . I had just moved on from : 1 kit = 1 tube of glue when I got these . I was still brush painting . Nice resurection . Thanx ..

Great job restoring this one Bob!! The question now is since you have caught up to me for the number of finished builds this year which one of us will get the next one finished cause if we really push it we could both possibly get 2 done this year LOL.

This really looks great, I just put my Green Hornet repop back together and got her on the shelf, I will have to look for a Black Widow, looks like a fun kit...
