W-409

This is a cool one, I've seen one Drag Superbird in 1/25 before, so this is something different. Cool paintjob, and excellent idea of making Superbird into Drag Car. Very nice engine detailing also.

Turned out great! This year Mustang Funny Cars look good and you did amazing job with that. Paintjob looks good and those decals are nicely on their place too.

I'm Glad you enjoyed the photos! Here are more, from the First Cruising in Vantaa. Not Much cars there yet, but next month there will be lots of more... Anyway, here are the pictures. http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat+2012/Cruisings/Vantaa/Vantaa+21.4.2012/

Thanks! There might be a trailer coming too, but I'm not sure about it yet. If I get money soon, I might get a Trailer and build it, so let's see...

Very cool '54 Chevy, as always! I like the color combo, and paintjob turned out good. Great bodywork with it too.

Thanks Everyone for the kind comments! I'm pretty happy about the end-result too. Trucks are fun to build also, and I hope this build motivates me to get back on '66 Dodge L700 Truck.

The Daytona was out of this world!!! I can't wait to see how spectacular build this is going to be! Frame looks very good so far, and I like that engine too. Amazing job, can't believe that you built whole engine block from sheet metal. Amazing scratchbuilding as always, Romell. I will be watching this one for sure, and I hope this gives ideas on my Pro Mod build, which is still in my head waiting for everything.

Little more done with the Chevy. Progress is bit slow since this is my first try of making tube frame from plastic. I also finished that Kenworth Truck ( in Trucks Section) but now I'm back on this one. More work with the frame, and it's starting to look like car's frame a bit. More tubing is added and still few more needed, untill I can start the rear end of this frame. It's great to have as many Drag builders as we have here. Reference for tube frame is easy to find from other WIP topics. Also found the engine and rear axle. I'm not sure where they are from but I guess that they are from Monogram's STP Pontiac Pro Stocker.

Looks very good so far! I'm gonna keep watching this build since it looks pretty interesting. Wheels and tires look very good, but I think that they are just perfect size. Ross Gibson engine looks good too, I've been thinking of ordering few of those...

I'd like to see this Camaro in Hugger Orange with black stripes. It's absolutely the best color combination on this. What kit are you using, I'd like to see the box art. Parts look pretty much the same than old Monogram kit. Great job with it so far, engine and chassis look very good. I like the interior also.

Finished pictures of the Kenworth are here, thanks, it was fun to be a part of this CBP.

Kenworth is FINISHED, and Posted in Trucks section: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57627 . I'm happy about how it turned out, and great thanks for everyone for following, and taking time to comment on this build thread. Please let me know what you think in that topic too, this was fun project and I hope that you enjoyed as much as I did.

More Pics....

This Revell's Kenworth kit was bought from Hobby Lobby at Daytona Beach. The year was 2011. I had to buy one American Truck, since I've always thought that they are very cool, and here in Finland, almost every truck is Volvo, Scania or MAN. In Florida I saw many of those American Trucks, so I had to get one on my bench. The kit is pretty simple, but turned out pretty good. Interior was built box stock, with wood on the dash and steering wheel. Otherwise it's painted black and grey. Frame is Gloss Black from spray can and engine is Catepillar yellow, of course. The cab is also painted with spray can, and I used those decals what came with the kit. I enjoyed building this truck very much, and I would recommend this kit for anyone.

Thanks Everyone for the help! The Truck is finished now, and I will post it right away here. Thanks again for the tips.

Here is the last set of WIP pictures, Kenworth is pretty much done on these pictures, there have been no problems in the final assembly so far. Finished pictures will be posted soon.

Thanks James! Here is the last set of WIP pictures, Kenworth is pretty much done on these pictures, there have been no problems in the final assembly so far. Finished pictures will be posted soon.

That Falcon looks cool! I'm building same styled Falcon also on the Drag Racing Models section, check it out- might give good ideas on that cool project. Other builds look great too.

I'm building Revell's Kenworth W900, which should be finished tomorrow. American Trucks had (do they still have?) many register plates on the front bumber. Those plates where from different states. But how about the license plates on the rear? My dad says that there were no plates at all (in the cab I mean, I don't have a trailer) but whats the correct way? Did they use license plates on the rear end too, and where were they located? Any Help Would be Highly appreciated.

This should be finished by tomorrow. I have installed the interior to that cab, which is installed to the frame. All I have to do is final assembly, I hope everything goes alright.

Thanks both! These are fun to build, but really big. I don't know, where I put this when it gets finished... ...Oh yeah, this should be finished by tomorrow. I have installed the interior to that cab, which is installed to the frame. All I have to do is final assembly, I hope everything goes alright.

It looks like hard one... It could be one amazing model, I know some builders on this forum too, could build something as nice as that. Anyway those wire wheels look so realistic, that I have to say real.

Thanks for the comments of that Nova! Romell's Daytona looks super nice. It's inpossible to find any mistakes from that build, it looks so clean.

This is very cool Dragster, I was sure of it when you started this one. Paint turned out great, and that driver looks interesting. The Smoke is done very nicely too. Overall great job with it.

Haha, now I can post this one here.
