I'm creating a new (more accurate) decal artwork for the AMT model. It is such a nice looking car. I have found several photos on the Web but I'm surprised just how few of them are out there. This is for the initial paint scheme of this car (not the later fancier one). It is difficult to judge certain colors (even in color photos). BTW, I'm not very familiar with funny cars in general. Here are some things I'm looking for: Is the AL SEGRINI lettering white, gray or silver? Is the outline around Black Magic white, gray or silver? Someone told me it was chrome-colored. Is the shaded fill in the Black Magic lettering metallic or just plain paint? What is the color of the fill in Black Magic lettering? Is it going from black to blue? What does the front of the rear spoiler look like? Orange and black? Any sponsor stickers on it? The lettering on the C-pillar in the AMT decal shows AA F/C when the 1:1 car shows AA/FC (did AMT mess that one up)? Again, the 106 on the C-pillar, is it white, gray or silver? The colored stripe on the body side (one which crosses the rear wheel opening): It seems to be red. But what color is the outline? Is it orange or yellow? The large ATI logo on the side, is that white, gray or silver? What colors is the magic lamp on the hood? What colors is the lettering on the front spoiler? Similar to the Black Magic lettering on the sides? I guess in order to answer some of these questions (like color silver vs. white vs. gray) the car had to be seen in-person. Thanks, Peteski

Thanks guys!

Thanks Harry!

Hello everybody! What attracted me to this forum is Harry P's excellent thread about his build of the Christie Fire engine. I've been building models for many decades. I build whatever I find attractive: planes, trains, automobiles, trucks, bikes, etc. In any scale - mostly 1:6 through 1:220. I'm a member of the Classic Plastic Model Club (in the Boston area). I'm also the club's photographer. Some of my models are featured on the club's website: http://classicplastic.org/pete.html I haven't built many models lately. My latest one is Monogram Ultimates 289 Cobra. I hope to see some of you at our model show this Sunday. For a flyer and entry form see http://classicplastic.org/events.html

Excellent model and writeup Harry! If you still have that model, I would like to ask you for a favor. Could you give me its dimensions? Extreme height, width and length. I have that kit and someday I'll build it. But I now have a chance to have a custom display case made for it. I want to make sure I have accurate dimensions, so the model will fit inside it. Thanks!
