Revell early Bronco flat top dragster.... paint !!

[cobraman]

As I was building my first one of these kits which I did stock I had the idea to do a drag version. This will be a curbside build so no engine or chassis detail. It will have a simple scratch built interior. I am leaning towards a red/orange for the color but not sure yet.

[cobraman]

Thank you Joe. I believe I am going with a red/orange color.

Thanks Kerry.

Looks great Ray. I was thinking of something similar with this kit since I stole the tires already.

Thanks Brad. I'm going to use the full Bronco chassis under a Cobra.

Thanks Brad. I'm going to use the full Bronco chassis under a Cobra.

That should prove interesting. I don't want to hijack your thread but here's sort of what I was shooting for but with some engine set back while also moving the driver back. It would also have the top on.

I was surprised that the Cobra had a longer wheelbase than the Bronco. This thing is small. It was a 1/24 scale to the 1/25 scale though. 

Ray are you doing a fade paint from orange to red?

 

[Ace-Garageguy]

Pretty cool. I never woulda thunk of that. The 4WD Cobra ought to be a lot of fun to see get built too.    

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. I have plenty of Cobras so I am always looking to build something different silly as they may be.

[vintagercr]

Look forward to seeing some colour on it.

Another cool flat top!

We have paint !  Decals added but still needs to be cleared.

[Jmaracing]

Looks awesome Ray. Can't wait to see it all done.. 

[cobraman]

Thanks Joe. I forgot I took the pics before the decals should be able to clear it tomorrow.
