Model Gift Build: Late Xmas Build #2?

Video

Second Christmas Car Gift build done, three late builds to go.

By the way, this car kit was originally produced in the United States during the Cold War.  In 1994, it was revised and production moved to China.

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).
