Reuhkapelti Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This drifter had a 1:1 role model car in Sweden a few years ago. I saw a video of it in utube and it hit me hard. I used several Nascar parts and the rest is again scratch built. The no. 43 is a tribute for mr. R. Petty ofcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Great detailing. I also like the rubber on the lower quarters ( rear wings?) The discoloration from the hood vents ads a great deal of realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhkapelti Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Yes yes that's the video where I spotted this roaring Superbird! In the technical info they say it had a 800 hp Nascar engine in it. They also say the front tires didn't turn enough, that's why the driving wasn't so impressive. But I think the Superbird looked superb.I as a modeller haven't ever cared much, what engine I use in my models, as long as it looks good and powerful. Thanks everybody for your kind comments! This one was a real fun to build, trying to make evrything as in 1:1 Drift Superbird had. I understand it still continues roaring around the drift track painted in blue colour.
