The Hot Wheels collection inches closer to closure this week with the arrival of two more choice pieces - The Revvers 'Haulin Horses' and the Redline 'Mantis'
The Revver was in quite good order, with only the rubber elements on the wheels needing attention, as like most models, the rubber has perished over time. Luckily a small O ring fitted nicely on the motor wheel and two each on the back wheels, bringing Haulin Horse nicely up to scratch.
The Mantis is still in need of work, but is looking considerably better than when it arrived in a coat of red enamel.
Some patient work with T-Cut scratch remover took off the top coat, leaving the spectraflame aqua paint still looking quite nice for its age.
A bit of oxidisation and some scuffs, but good enough to not warrant a full respray.
Impressive, getting that top coat of paint off.
ReplyDeleteLove that Haulin Horses Wote. I'm blown away by Revvers and had never heard of them till you brought them to our attention. That Mantis looks great too. How many more redlines do you need?
ReplyDeleteonly need a few to be content for now, maybe four
