Thanks so much guys! Yes the frame was tricky, and the decals were stressful lol. The worst part of the job was getting the tins installed and lined up inside the body! I almost quit, but walked away from it for a couple days and tried again then ?

Thanks!! ?

Hi all…finished up Polar Lights’ Don Schumacher FC today. This is the first Polar Lights kit I’ve done and it was a handful to get thru. Tons of fitment issues and poor molding to deal with but it’s a great looking car when done. The body required a ton of prep, it was a mess with bad lines, sink marks etc. I was surprised at how bad it was out of the box. Nevertheless it’s done and I’m very happy with it! Paint is Tamiya TS54 and TS13 clear over those finicky decals which actually came out pretty darn good with a lot of solution. Added plug wires and a couple of fuel lines for fun. I used the polished 5 spokes up front simply because I like the way they look. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think! ??

Looks fantastic! I know what you mean about a Polar Lights kit…I’m in the middle of the Don Nicholson Cuda FC and it’s tricky for sure. Good work on yours ? -
Tamiya tape is the best! ?

Thanks so much guys! Paints used are Tamiya ts-26 pure white, ts-8 Italian red, and ts-15 blue. The blue is a bit too dark, and looks even darker in these pics, but looks ok in person. ??

I didn’t know that! Yours looks fantastic! Wish I could’ve started this kit as an unbuilt fresh one but it looks good anyway. Great work on yours ??

Thanks guys…he’s a good friend so it wasn’t any trouble to spruce it up for him. And yes Straightliner I’d never seen this kit until he brought it over! The box was in perfect shape, with the built car inside ?
