Test Post for linking to photos, hope this is a decent enough quality photo…Dave
Looks good,but we definately need more pics.
Looks great! Your picture posting works fine.
I have built several of those kits (they go way back- have been re-released several times). I still have several to build. Built the Quaker State Kinser version, did another of his arch rival, Slamming Sammy. Those are great kits!
I like it…
Ok, cool thank you folks, remember, you asked for it, more pics! I started taking some pics as I was getting decals on so here we go.
Did you guys notice the one side bumper on all the kits was deformed on the sprue? It was pretty funny as I thought I could simply straighten out the deformed end by carefully dipping the piece toward a candle and of course got it too close and it burst into flames! It reminded me of the scene in Back To The Future when the Delorean model flew across the floor and burst into flames, haha too good. Then I remembered I had a lot of different sized plastic rod I bought years ago from Hobbytown so I glued a small piece on the end, let it dry then hit it with some aluminum brush paint to blend in. You can see the white rod here before painting, almost forgot about that until I saw this pic.

Thanks Don! Yeah I bought all the Outlaw kits I could find from a shop in Renton, WA back in the nineties as I never knew when a new one might come out. I was so thrilled to see this Bass Pro model at Hobbytown my arm shot out to grab it before my brain could even engage. Who knows how many I might buy from Hobby Lobby now that they have them.
Long ago since I had duplicates I bought the different 1:24 scale outlaw decals from Slixx and built the duplicates with the different decals. In fact, I finished one recently using the Bass Pro kit and Slixx Decals for the #7 Gold Eagle version. Will have to get a few pics up of that when I can. I also just finished the Kinser Superman version as I had one for years but was too afraid to build it until I had another. I was able to grab one from feebay recently so I built it right away.
I still have a few of the old ones like the Kinser blue/white #11, an old Sammy Swindell, the Casey Luna and others and am just finishing the old Steve Kinser #11 Silver Bullet as we speak, yahoo! Would love to see pics of yours if you have them, great fun!
