Good save. Nice looking model. Certainly worth the effort to get it right.

Wow. I can't remember the last time I've seen one of these, but it's been a very long time. Nice work. The colours work perfectly. Cool.

Nice work so far. Looking good.

Nice looking Torino. They look so great in red with white stripes. Cool!

Definitely looking forward to watching this one come together.

Interesting kit, I'm following. I've mixed Tamiya gloss black and flat black (acrylics) to get semi-gloss, though I prefer their actual semi-gloss which lays down very nice. However, I find semi-gloss to still be too flat for chassis painting. For general chassis parts that are to be black, I mix Tamiya semi-gloss black and gloss black acrylic to create a black with a slight sheen, perfect for chassis work. I call it chassis black, and always have some on hand.

Very tidy. Good looking Cuda. Nice work.

Looks like a cool plan. I’ve been developing an interest in 1/32 kits lately. I’ll be watching this one.

Yes, a couple times with Testors bottles, when I was young and less diligent with keeping the bottle threads and cap clean. The bottles didn’t shatter so much as break into two or three large pieces. Nonetheless, makes a heck of a mess.

The two circular pieces glued to the grill are actually the velocity stacks for the carburetors of the race version engine.

Very nice period custom. Lovely paint. You nailed the look. Well done.

Cool vintage kit. Nice work.

Try asking your question on the Open Wheel Racing Modeling forum. There are usually some keen Indy Car model builders/enthusiasts there who will likely know the answers to your questions.

I always enjoy seeing your work. Excellent weathering. Very high degree of realism.

Nicely done, Force. I always enjoy reading minutia on nitro engines. My background is mechanical engineering, yet I never cease to be amazed at the mind bogglingly incredible numbers. 900-1100 lbs of down force from the zoomies! First time I heard this stat. Mind blowing. When I was a teen and really keen about understanding engine physics, I calculated the total number of revolutions for a top fuel run, and came up with a number similarly low to what quoted above. I was certain the answer was wrong, but couldn’t find a mistake in the math. Checked it several times, then the penny dropped… mind blown!

Nailed it! It’s absolutely stunning. You sweated the details and it shows. A beautiful model of a beautiful car.

Nice Mustang II. Great colour.

Fantastic. Nice work on the forward features.

Very cool, Bernard. Looking forward to this.

I do as well, and loudly applaud the efforts of both.

Great looking Comet, John. That's a seriously wicked look. Nicely done.

The awesomeness continues. The hood letters look fantastic. I appreciate the torture of cutting that beautiful hood, but the scoop does look good.

Nice looking Bronco. Love the colour. What paint is that?

When I first saw this photo I thought "What abomination is this?" But after reading a couple articles, it's actually pretty cool.

Excellent conversion, Brian. Very nice work on a very cool car. Well done.
