Casey Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) This was competed in 1996, before Slixx released a 1/16th scale decal sheet for this car, so most of the decals were done by hand, thus some inaccuracies. Built mostly box stock, all of the metal finishes were done using Testors Metalizer paints, and the red, yellow, and blue area with Fred Cady decals, cut (or stamped out in the case of the dots) to shape.

Custom Hearse Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Beautiful work! That was my all time favorite funny car! I watched it race at OCIR many times. You did a great job on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.1/16th Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 VERY NICE BUILD ON THIS BEAST!! WERE DID YOU GET THIS KIT AT? I finished this in '96 and it has been stored in a storage container since then. Just no good place to display it now. Anyway, this was done before Slixx decided to release a 1/16th scale decal for this car, so most of the decals were done by hand and there are some inaccuracies. Ah well, that's life. Here are three pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) The re-issued Model King/Revell Jungle Jim kit is the base for this kit. The back section and roof of the body was scratchbuilt, though you may be able to get a 1/16th scale resin-cast Vega panel wagon body by now. I know Slixx released a 1/16th scale Wonderwagon sheet for use on the Vega kit. Edited January 6, 2008 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodaSaurus Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) There is a great see through magazine cover of this car, Hot Rod November 1973 If I remember has the hatch version but there is another of the wagon version, in one other Hot Rod from the same year, (I think, cant remember) John Edited January 23, 2008 by HotRodaSaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Competition Resins makes a resin body and Slixx has a decal sheet for those interested in building one- that sure would've been easier in '96 if I had that option.
