Yep that trans just keeps getting better and better, the media blasting really gives a nice contrast in texture.

Atlantis Scorpion Gasser, way past time for me to do a drag car. this kit will get a lot of work done to it. I will first start with the tires, they have a very big dip in the middle where the tread would be, not crazy about that. I made an arbor on the lathe drilled, tapped and threaded for a 10-32 cap head screw added a few washers and snugged the tire down so I could use a sanding stick to true the tire up, I think it looks a little better. All comments welcome.

Nice work on your impala, lots of very fine details, looking real good.

Nice work on that 40, you started with a bit of a mess, you cleaned it up real well.

I just logged out and back in with my e-mail, no problem here. I hope it goes as easy for everybody.

The paint looks really good, this is a really cool kit.

226 looks good like every issue, I have the digital subscription just waiting so I can down load it.

Those are 2 awesome drag cars, great paint and decals.

Outstanding work, very neat clean build.

That trans looks awesome, so much detail.

Great work as always Francis, those fender aprons look factory, as you said you will get a better view of that scratch built front end. I am waiting to see you start the drive train.

Nice work on your drag car, I really like the idea of a junior stock drag racer.

Thanks for the info Francis.

Nice finish on those seat frames they look awesome.

Great work on that radiator Francis nice details, neat and clean like all your wok, I do have one question where did you get the mess for the radiator.

Nice work Daniel, you put a huge amount of work into this model, looking good.

Hi Francis, that rack and pinion steering unit is really beautiful work, the rubber boots were a great idea.

Thanks for the idea Joe, this kit is not worth the expense or the trouble to find out if those 3D decals fit, I rather enjoy trying to get the kit to the next level the old school way. Those decals are really awesome though.

Well done David that paint work is nice and smooth, should look great when the decals go on.

I think it's the same kit, the one you show is reboxed mine is the older version I think. Any part you see in my pics that is grey is stock any other color I added or modified.

Looking good Joe, the paint effects look real good never tried that before.

Time for an update finished all the detail mods in the cockpit next a little super glue clean up than painting. Also trying out the new Macro zoom lens on the camera. All comments welcome.

Some times I get tired of just doing cars so here we go, the very very old Revell kit, not a great kit very soft details so I will change stuff. All the grey items in the pics are stock any other color has been modified. I was not crazy about the one piece seat so I modified it, I also thought the entire cockpit was sitting a little to low and shallow so I added just a little to the seat back to to drop it down and add some depth. I am in the process of making the pedals, next I will work on the inside of the fuselage halves and add some details. All comments welcome.

Good work David, you did a lot of work on a very old kit should look great when it's finished.
