I plan on doing some minor restoration to this build.I bought it at a swap meet last Saturday (10-24).Two guys collaborated on the build,one has recently passed away.This thing is beautiful as she is now! It even came with most of the extra goodies that the original Big T had,one which is pictured.I hope to do some minor restoration to this over the upcoming Winter.I also plan on doing a tribute display regarding this kit....and to the times for which are long gone from our Hobby...Still good times to be had by many of us that are still enjoying the plastic model hobby!
  To quote the Billy Joel song.....about this build "I love you just the way you are".

Yes Todd, That looks like a pretty good build. Is it painted or is that the raw plastic? I like your plan for it. Keep us posted. Nice score. Jim
The builds chassis and interior has been painted.....I THINK the body is the glossy Monogram plastic from back in the day.I will find out more as I get into the clean up-minor restoration of this build.The builders did a really good job on it,and I really enjoy this build as it is now....I recently obtained the original instruction book,and that will allow me to see what is missing.I was informed by the seller at the swap meet that it was missing a tie rod....
Gotta get to building my two T's for our contest here,then I'll catch up on this one!
Todd
