... hypodermic tubing and rod ends from R B Motion....

could i ask your source for this tubing? i assume you can get it in reasonable quantity rather than a googled medical supply 1,000 piece order.

thanks

Very cool Fiat! Them a the willy's are my favorite drag cars. You really did a awesome job on this one! Sorry I missed the DCS this year I would have loved to see it in person.

Thanks for the comments guys. Well, I'm not happy with the paint job so the body's going for a swim in the purple pond.

Hey Joe there is a place called Smallparts.com but it now is part of amazon and they have a bunch of different materials. here is a link to the tubing:

they have many different sizes to choose from as well as lengths of tubing. I have been meaning to place an order myself.

Another source for small tubing, stainless or brass... is slot cars tubing

This is an incredible model. Pictures are amazing but don't even do it justice.

[vintagedragfan]

hows it coming Brad? we all want to see this gorgeous thing completed!

[GoatGuy]

I just read the whole thing. N ot sure how I missed it. Terrific detail and quality.

[gasser59]

Well, this one has stalled long enough. Its been stripped of the original paint and shot with Tamiya Fine White Primer, which has been sanded and hopefully this weekend it'll get the first layer of paint. I noticed its supposed to rain on Saturday so I may get delayed once again.

With a few good weather days, I was able to lay down a few coats of paint on this bad boy. I redid the decal colors so they would match the Hugger Orange of the body and printed them out on Testor's clear water slide decal paper. I'm in the process of raiding my decal stash for black pinstriping to lay down where the two colors meet. The nose piece will be a challenge with all of the curves and I'm hoping I won't have to go in with a fine black marker and do it by hand.

 

Here's where I'm at for the moment. DSC9 is next month so I gotta keep at it.

 

 

Thanks for looking in and for your patience. This is taking entirely too long. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

Beautiful work.

[Mooneyzs]

Brad... this is just gorgeous bud and turned out great. I have to admit I like this paint scheme better than the solid orange you had before. Man this thing is sure sweet. Great Job on it!!

Yep, entirely. But the waiting has paid off, cause it looks great ! Good luck with the pinstriping cant wait to see it

[futurattraction]

I don't know how I missed this one, Brad, but you've totally knocked it out of the park with the work you've done on your Fiat.  Your scratch building skills are fantastic and I love all the detail you've added.  I'll look forward to more updates.  Best wishes at DSC9!
