Thanks for the picture! I need to start looking for those carburetors. Tire letterings turned out great, very sharp painting. I've never been brave enough to try that kind of lettering, but looks like it's possible to do nicely.

Has anyone built an electric fan to 1/25 scale cars? I know some kits have electric fan molded to the radiator, but I need to build one for the Nova. So how I should build it?
-
And here I have some wiring of that Electric Water Pump Also I saw that end of that upper radiator hose, and mocked it on the engine. I will make new radiator hoses myself.

Thanks Gary and Bill! I must say, that Stock Eliminator and Super Stock are one of the most interesting car categories in Drag Racing. There are some more Stockers on my bench too, and I will finish this one before moving my attention on that Torino, '69 GTO and '87 Thunderbird, and '70 Challenger. Here we have a little update, mostly detail stuff. I bought Holley electric Fuel pump from Model car contest, and I installed fuel lines on that, and they are home made Braided Line. I will connect it to that one in the engine bay tomorrow. I also painted the Brake Master Cylinder, and now I must build LineLock so I can connect those brake lines to the front. But brake line for the rear is already glued to the cylinder. And here's the Brake Master Cylinder so far.

Thanks Scott! This kit is great, and it would be nice to have that Racing version too. White & Red is great color combo, and it fits on almost everything, in Mini too. Thanks.

Wow, Mike, that paintjob looks very good to me. That Mustang is going to be great build when finished. My Mustang is waiting for supercharger, that Special Edition kit don't have one, and the one, I have is way too small. So I'm looking for one from Finland, I hope I can find it soon and get the build going again.

69 Daytona Pro Mod 1/16th scale updated 4/3/12 ..It's a wrap!
W-409 replied to Romell R's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
After finishing this build, I just wonder, what are you going to build next? Great detail work, and overall it's really nice build, everything just seems to be correctly on their place and that display is great. Paintjob is smooth and shiny too, and I like the wheels and tires. Well-I like everything about it, great job as always, Romell! -
WOW, Here It Is!!! Great job with it, turned out awesome. This might be the best build, I've seen for a while. I have to disagree with Mitch, since it looks like realistic to me- I guess that's how 1:1 Dodge Daytona/Superbird Pro Mods look. But GREAT build overall, detailing is simply amazing and paintjob turned out perfect. Pictures look very good too, the car looks like 1:1 on them.
-
It looks great as always. Nice job with the belt and those pullies, they look very realistic. I also like that interior so far, you're doing amazing job.I can't remember if it was this kit or not, but can you post a picture of the carburetor which came with the kit?
-
Camaro has been primered to see, where needs to be sanded, and how much. It looks pretty good actually, better than I thought. I will sand it smooth tomorrow. I also decided to change Tunnel Ram intake manifold to Cross Ram. And Matti's Rambler looks very good so far.
-
Great to have this in Hobby Shops too. I will buy that Stock Version, and that Tim Flock NASCAR version. Well when there comes a PreOrder or something of that Nascar version, I'll order it right away, before they're sold out. That Stock version needs to be bought bit later, when I have more money.

Thanks Fellas! Erik: Thanks for the tip, it sure is worth trying. I've been thinking about how to get those painted nicely, but using masking tape is so tricky and takes long time before tapes are installed correctly. But that would solve the problem, thanks. Geoff: This was really great kit, parts are sharp and they fit nicely in place. Only tires and that top were tricky to install right, but otherwise it was great kit. Ian: The green thing presents a pillow, which was there in 1:1 car too. Actually it doesn't look as good as I wanted, but it gives a little special touch for this car. Those Brake and Clutch Master Cylinders had to be on that side too, but I didn't think about it good enough. Well, next time then. Thanks everyone again, I really appreciate those kind comments.

WOW, that Vega is Something, I need to get too. Well, maybe some day, right now I have many things to buy... I got this '87 Thunderbird from ChevyCoupe41. Thanks, great basis.

Yeah, Here We Go, the engine is painted with Humbroll MET 53, which is maybe the closest color what I have. I have to say big thanks again to mcandela for the reference pictures.
-
Thanks Doctor and Romell! I'm done with the Bug and Austin, so it's time to get back on these builds without Deadlines too. I painted Chevelle's engine block once, but it maybe needs some more paint before I can call it done.

This was finished on Friday, and it's built as a Birthday present, just like the VW 1300. Tamiya kit, very good quality. I started by preparing the body ready for paint, which is straight from Maston spray can. Engine paint was pretty hard to find, but I found good color from Hobby Shop in Paris. Only extras for the engine are spark plug wires. Interior was done almost box stock. I only turned the steering wheel on left hand side, as it is here in Finland. Because of that I had to cut and turn windshield wipers too. Nah, here are the pictures, feel free to ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can.

Thanks Shawn and Guy! I need to say, that this kit goes together pretty well, body and interior are pretty nice too, if you remember to sand those mold lines away.
-
Thanks Dominik, and Luis! Today, there's coming another build into this section-it was finished on Friday.
-
This is very cool Concept of '59 Impala. I really liked watching the WIP topic, and finished product is worth all that work, you've done with it. Paintjob looks great and I like the interior too. Thanks for sharing it.
-
Yeah, Me too! I hope they work as nicely as they look. I've painted some parts on the Mustang, but can't post a picture untill Sunday. So Stay Tuned...
-
The Detailing on this build is awesome. I'm going to follow this build very closely. Engine looks incredible so far, keep it coming.
-
Very Cool Vega Funny Car. I like this body style, maybe needs to get one kit, even if it wouldn't be Revell's best kit. Nice job on it, paintjob looks cool and I like the detailing all over. Very nice and Clean build.
-
The Decals for Cobra Jet Mustang have arrived, thanks for mcandela for the tip. I didn't know that these were in production. But now I'm getting started with this build, since I can get that other little build finished today.
-
Other side of the body is polished now, well maybe a bit work to do still, but it looks pretty good. I will polish another side also, and maybe next week I can start foiling this body. It's pretty shiny, huh?
