ROYAL CANADIAN 1/16 SCALE TOP FUEL DRAGSTER
Ian McLaren replied to Ian McLaren's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thanks Daniel I'm pretty happy with it, I'll post more photos once the owner has seen it. He's running the real car in a Cackle Fest near here on Wednesday, It will interesting to see the model with the real car and I have missed the smell of nitro in the evening.- 262 replies

Chassis basically complete, steering shaft and pitman arm have to gone on after side panels are installed and a few paint touchups have to be completed. Body panels are getting clear coated and polished in the next two days and I'll be calling this a wrap.- 262 replies

Wow The new manifold looks great and is certainly a step up from the prior design (which I though was also great by the way). The color of the metal really makes a difference, it may have been more effort but worth it in the end.

ROYAL CANADIAN 1/16 SCALE TOP FUEL DRAGSTER
Ian McLaren replied to Ian McLaren's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thank you Francis, first off congratulations on completing current project, it's a stunner! As you can see by the new posts progress is being made, and I am gradually finding out where things have been hidden. Luckily all of the parts for the Royal Canadian survived the move intact, although there were some heart in the throat moments when the box that contained several of the main subassemblies could not be located. Problem solved and everything is now accounted for. I am fairly please with the filter block adaptor. The Mallory coil is kind of a hybrid.it started out as a Pro Tech coil, but was then modified and added to to represent the unique unit on this vehicle and its location.- 262 replies

CONGRATULATIONS FRANCIS! This has been an epic project with the results being just jaw dropping. Truly at testament to the art of model building! Well done my friend! -
I know how you feel, there is a time for fidelity to scale and a time for just good modeling practices. I like where this is going and how you are approaching it. Well done.

First new upgrade to the shop, so far just shot some primer with good results. Also my Iwata air brush works with the compressor as well, bonus! I'm told a charge is good for over an hour of spray time. Looks like a winner!- 262 replies

Here is an update with some actual progress, I redid the remote oil filter block adaptor as the previous attempt wasn't quite as nice as I wanted. Here is the new one mounted on the engine and a photo of the original piece. I have also finished lettering the slicks and painted the Blue streaks on them. and they are now mounted on the wheels. In the photo you will also note the unique coil position on the top of the blower. Progress is being slowed by having to open boxes to find stuff / tools I thought were already unpacked or that have been unpacked but put somewhere other than where I thought.- 262 replies

After working on a truck for this length of time, there may be a transition period with another style of vehicle, but you can do it with the help of all your friends here! -

Sorry for not commenting on this build till now, moving to a new city pretty much used up the last two months. I'm really liking this project, great workmanship and the extra photos of the nostalgia car and your brass work were great. Well done Daniel -

Loving the door handles! -
While I'm always blown away with the finished products. Seeing all of the steps and additional work required for set up and jigs, etc. needed to produce said parts makes me even more appreciative commitment required at this level.
