LittleDrummerBoy Aka LDB Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Clean build, really like the livery on this one.
Muncie Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Oh yeah! nicely done! paint turned out greatLove it, One of the big hitters in Northwest funny car racing in the 70's - ran just as good as it looked.
Harry P. Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Looks good, nice and clean. Would have been even better with fuel/injector lines added.
Rick Wolfe Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Hey John, That turned out super, do you still have the decal number and what tires did you use? Good luck on your next project. Rick
Old Coyote Posted October 10, 2016 Author Posted October 10, 2016 Hey John, That turned out super, do you still have the decal number and what tires did you use? Good luck on your next project. RickI'm sorry sir, I don't have the decal number and my usual sources don't have that decal in stock. I can tell you the slicks came from Competition Resins. They are the large slicks which fill up the rear fenderwells of the Revell kits much better than the kit tires. The only adjustment you have to make to use them is that the wheelie bars have to be mounted to the inside of the rear frame attachment points rather than the outside.
Rick Wolfe Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 John, Thanks for the quick reply, I was about to order a couple sets of tires from C-R but glad I waited, are those the "Current F/C drag slick CRT 501" Those look just right. Again Thanks for your help. Rick
Snake45 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Very nice, very clean model. Well done! Model on!
