Hello
As mentioned in the thread for the truck from the movie duel, I have the car under construction. The Valiant was never released as a kit, so I started my own conversion with a Plymouth Duster and a Dodge Dart kit. The Duster´s front clip was mated to the Dart body and a lot of sheet was added to replicate the lines of the Valiant.
Some pics of how this thing went together.
There is still a lot of work needed, but it´s getting there.
I´m currently working on other models, so it will take some time for an update here. Just thought I´ll show it as it caught some interest in the other thread.
The body and some other parts are going to be casted in resin when the scratchbuilding is done.
Critics are much appreciated as I have no opportunity to take measurements from an original car. If something that I didn´t notice looks wrong, please give me a hint. Maybe there is an RPF member who has such a car.
Thanks for looking,
Kevin
