happy grumpy Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Not my area of expertise but I built this kit when I was young and totally botched it so I wanted to have at least one funny car in my collection , so here it is. I added plug wires and took some artistic license when I painted the wheels and the headers. The rest is pretty much what's in the box. I painted the base coat, applied the decals , clear coated and polished. Note that one wire got loose which I realized after taking the photos. No wonder the engine was running rough!? 3 1
stavanzer Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 Sharp Build! You really captured the look. I'd say you did not botch it this time. 1
Claude Thibodeau Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 Salut Mario! Well, your second attempt at the kit sure turned good. Now, go reconnect that plug wire before showing up at the staging line! CT

bogger44 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 You definitely redeemed yourself with this one as it looks great. Reminds me that I have one buried in the stash I need to get to someday. 1
M W Elky Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Great photography this came out really nice. The revell funny cars are some of the best. They really build up well. 1
