Scott Eriksen replied to FoMoCo66's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Cut out the damaged area and glue in a piece of Evergreen sheet styrene ,you can get their assortment pack,sheets of different thickness and a couple black sheets in the last one I got ,then contour sand to match, you can apply a skim coat of putty and feather it in with the rest of the cowl -

My S&M kits were all white plastic,,,and also the 2 Pro Street re-issues I bought a few years later were also molded in white ,I got my S&M kits at Avenel Hobbies back in '92 (no longer in business) ,Randy the owner had invited Ronnie to make an appearance at the shop (this is when Ronnie was touring with his Pro-mod 64 Comet) .Randy had about 50 of the JoHan S&M Cudas stacked on a table ,,pretty good crowd ,,,Ronnies hauler took up most of the parking lot though,,,lol it was a small shop right on Rt1 ,,,good crowd though ..I remember it like yesterday. I also had 2 of the JoHan S&M Superbirds ,,they were also in white -
