MarkJ Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Revell Black Widow kit. Testors 2 part lacquer. Decals created by me and printed on Testors ink jet clear decal paper. Exhausts and Rollbars made from Evergreen styrene 3/32" tubing. Bungi cords from elastic jewelry cord. Fixed some more photobucket links.

David G. Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Very cool! I love these old racers- yours is very well done. I have a couple of questions. 1. Did those front steelies come with the kit? 2. Did you cut the slots open on them or detail paint them? Regards, David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 This is very nice model again! But how did you make those hooks to those things, holding that hood in place? And you can open the hood still! Is that not so tight that you can take that thing off from that hook on the hood and then the hood opens...? Or what. Have that Black Widow and need some information... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David I used the wheels from the kit but the tires were too small so I used tires from an amt 55 chevy kit.. The wheels are detail painted. They come with slots in them but not cut all the way through. Thanks for your interest in the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the outer sheathing from the thread and then colored it with a silver sharpie felt tip pen. It easily stretches over the hook in the hood and the trunk. Thanks for your interest in the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex White is my all time favorite driver and he used the #4 most of the time. The others are just a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
