I used hairspray technique. It has 4 layers of paint. Rust, grey, green and blue. Every layer has hairspray between them. After that, some oil paints on top.
-
More like a show car. Could be used in drag strip of course.
-
It's a parts bin creation. I made the pipes. Blower is obviously modified. Intakes are Allison V12 exhaust headers.
-
I wanted to try something new. I used red textured paint from Zero paints.
-
Nothing fancy. Instructions said to paint the whole lense with red. I just made small round tape pieces to mask the centers.
-
Haha. Yeah. I wouldn't too set up my car like that. Too much wear on tyres. Sometimes though, little bit of camber adds good amount of aggressiveness to the overall look. Sidenote: The way you told your opinion, was a great example to lots of people. 10 points.

Could you elaborate what's puzzling you. Transaxle idea came from fellow member, who build similar thing. Can't remember anymore, because it was a long time ago. Basically rear axle is quick change rearend, that has gearbox fitted "inside".
-
Well, I didn't search info on that. Engine idea came from old Mooneyes dragsters, and I didn't noticed radiator on those.
-
Yes. Rear one is from a blower.
-
Wheels are cambered versions, inside is thinner than the outside. It's also style choice in european and japanese cars.

It's 1/25.

I started this almost 10 years ago. In that time I got more suitable aftermarket parts. Chassis, front suspension and drivetrain, are what I started with, all those years ago. They are almost 100 percent scratchbuilt with some kit parts. Same goes for the engine. Seats are Highlight Model Studio. Belts are Eduard.

Well, here is something that you don't see very often at dragstrip. Idea for this, came from seeing one at Hot Rod Drag Week 2019. This one has it's original diesel engine with bigger turbo and intercooler. Had to modify all the pipes and intake manifold. Tyres are Nascar slicks with Gofer decals. Rims are resin ones, that came without bolts. So they were perfect to be drilled to 6 lug pattern. Paint are Tamiya rattle cans(64 and 100).

Almost box stock Fujimi Golf R32. I had this Hobby Design skibox, and wanted to build an european style car. So I got this Golf. Changed wheels and added some camber. Also painted the hood with some stripes. Idea came from coffee mug.
-
Yes they are.
-
These two Aoshima Nissans are almost out of box. Both have suspension lowered and wheels changed. Older Gloria was easier, as it has the old battery style floor. Also changed the exhaust tips.
-
Steel wheels are from Ukrainian scale car production items.

Over 15 years. -
Moebius Models Ford F-100 with following changes: Resin Def.Model MRAP tyres (1/35). Lifted suspension. Scratchbuilt front bumper with winch and brass shackles. Modified rear bumper and brass shackles. Scratchbuilt rollhoop with scratchbuilt led bar. Random stuff added to bed. This one fortunately had a good windshield.

Belkits Opel Manta was built as a street car. That meant lowering the suspension and changing the wheels. Rims are from Beemax Volvo 240. Body color is Tamiya TS-100 and side stripes came from Hobby Design.
-
I built this Aoshima/Beemax Volvo 240 as a street car. I changed rims to resin steelies and tyres to road tyres. Scratchbuilt muffler. Passenger seat added. Otherwise, almost straight from the box.

1st gen Bronco Leadsled Kustom?

How did you do that oval exhaust tube? I didn't see an explanation. Is it a kit part? -
This project started when I found 1/32 Hispano Suiza WWI engine. It is designed in 1915. So I had to find something to put it on. Behold the Smer 1912 Mercer. Awful kit, but it was cheap and perfect for 1915's engine. Some cutting and lengthening, so the engine would fit. Better tires from parts box, Eduard gauges etc. Lots of modifications. You see them when comparing to box art. Last photos are with 1/32 Hino Contessa. It looks so small.

Wonderful kit from iMech inspired by Ian McQue's fantastic art. I just added some gargo and the base.
-
Unfortunately there is no engine in this kit. Although it has some nice detail in the engine compartment. Glass is just stock kit glass. And that one headlight is missing for a reason. It's turbo air-intake as Powerplant wrote.
