That is a 1970 MPC 1/20 scale plastic kit that I built in 1970 and sprayed with acrylic lacquer left over from a real car. It's a color very close to War Bonnet. I built it as my dream car at the time, and still is.

That's cool! I have that model, new in an unopened box!
Someone told me if you sprayed the models with lacquer paints the plastic would melt. Nice collection! WB

Yeah, my folks sent me that this year out here to the sandbox. Now I have to figure out how to get it home. Of course it was nice of them since they are taking care of my other yellow '75 convertible.
