Force

Very nice, I like what I see so far.

Very Nice!!!

well I think the rules stipulates that Funny Car bodies must have door and hood lines, most of the NHRA Funny Cars I have seen has them, they are very faint but they are there.

A very nice build you have there. Regarding door markings on funny car bodies. It's correct that funny cars doesn't have doors but I have been around funny cars some over the years and I have seen bodies both with and without door and hood markings. And I know John Force and his team cars had these door and hood markings on the bodies up to 2010 as I have seen it in person on some of his cars and I have pictures where they show, you must go close to see them because they are very faint but they are there.

This looks like it will be a cool build and I will follow it with great interest.

Great looking model!!! Porsche 917K is a favourite of mine from that era and I have a couple on my shelf waiting to be built.

I can't wait to lay my hands on this cool truck!

Very nice!!! I remember seeing this car in Hot Rod Magazine many many years ago, I even had a picture of it on my wall.

Don't take my comment the wrong way. I really like your model a lot and was just trying to give out constructive critisism...but that seems to have backfired big time. I'm sorry if I offended you, because that was not my meaning at all.

3 to 5 mils sounds very thick for vinyl decals, if they are layered they should be more like 1 to 1.5 mil at the most as the vinyl the decals are made from is very thin and a single vinyl decal might be a couple of tenths in thickness. But I can understand if the teams would clearcoat over the vinyl stickers to reduce drag as the edges of the decals might disturb the airflow on a super speedway car.

This is a very nice representation of this car and I really like it a lot. The only thing I can complain about is the placing of the dual distributors, it looks a bit strange where they are now...as they could have been on a Ford engine. It should look more like this. Or like this

Nice looking model you have there. The Reher Morrison '83 Camaro was the first "modern" Pro Stock model I attempted back in the day together with Bob Glidden's Chief Auto Parts/7-Eleven Thunderbird, I still have it on my shelf but it's not nearly as nice as yours.

I have also tried dullcoat with good results, I usually use Humbrol #135 Satin to knock down the shine of the chrome plating to replicate a brushed aluminum look. And the Humbrol colors is enamel so they usually don't react with the plating.

It began with LEGO and I moved on to cheap Matchbox military models and Matchbox and Airfix airplanes at first, then I discovered car model kits and was seriously hooked on those so gave up everything else and have been doing cars and trucks ever since. I don't know exactly when I started but I believe I'm comming up to about 40 years now as I started with plastic models in the early 70's, and I think I have built model cars and trucks for about 35.

Very Nice!!! I really like it.
