Chris in Berwyn

Hi, I finished this recently. It is box stock except for a wired distributor. It is painted HOK Wild Cherry with Testors One Coat Clear. I will probably add some more sponsor decals. I also have to paint the tarp that covers the pickup bed. I just moved and have not yet unburied the kit box so I can find and paint that part! I had wanted to build this kit for a long time - when Round 2 re-released it I decided it was time!

Very nice! Great paint! Just curious why you used a Comp Resins body?

BTW, will the Moon Beast be at NNL West in Santa Clara? This will be my first NNL West and it would be great to see this in person! Chris

What about widening the body to enclose the tires? :-)

Any Revell fc of any vintage?

Nice!! Where did you get the crimper tubes for fittings, and how did you letter the slicks? This looks great!

Where do I buy a 1/24 version? It looks really nice!

What has gotten into everybody on here? This did not used to be an English class!! If it was, several of our posters would not do so well! I had to say I had been on the board 2 or 3 times and had not clicked on this thread as I figured I would have no interest in the malcom gasser. It was only tonight I thought "could they possibly have meant Malco"?

W409, those carbs are works of art! Whoops it posted twice, but those are nice carbs!

There was discussion of Phil Castronovo Custom Body decals on page 2 of this discussion. I finished them, then Chuck Boerner took my graphics and improved them. He is selling a 1/25 version of the decal on eBay, and you can see it and his other decals on his Photobucket page. I am having trouble pasting here, but if you google stang1forever photobucket you will find his page. Chris

Wow Wow Wow!!!!!

Very nice!!!!

Looks really good. I am building that car now with Shirley Muldowney decals. The real car had a Logghe chassis so mine will definitely be shown with the body down!! Nice paintwork.

I'd leave the chassis, engine, etc. alone and repaint the body with some of the ideas you have in mind. You could always find some Slixx Revellaser or Mickey Thompson Pinto decals too, but I like your jazzed-up Crazy Horse idea.

Hi, you can check out this place too http://www.fireballmodels.info/index.htm

Hi, nice build. I like that body. Are those Slixx decals? Any trouble with them? I am in the midst of doing the Muldowney Fredricks of Hollywood car and some of the slixx decals are driving me nuts - cracking and splitting badly. Micro Scale decal film is helping some, but not enough!! BTW, The Trojan Horse did not win the '71 Worlds Finals, Phil Castronovo won that http://www.nhra.net/50th/news/headlines.html?year=1971 Looks like Fullerton won it in '72: http://www.nhra.net/50th/news/headlines.html?year=1972

Worth the trouble! It looks great.

Really nice!!!! Good to see a rarely built replica. BTW, are the left side headers on the right side, and visa versa?

It is probably the Snow Charger since it has not been out in a while. My dream is always a 71 Camaro FC, but I am not optimistic.

A tire from one of the unannounced Revell 2014 releases. Seems to indicate there will be another NHRA subject, which is a bit surprising as I don't think the last ones sold that well (unfortunately.)

A great build of my favorite driver's car. Nice!

So this is the penultimate painting area thread. Penultimate means second to last. How do you know there will only be one more painting area thread ever on this board? That said, nice setup!

I don't know a lot about sprint car kits, so what is the origin and how new are the tools for the winged sprint cars DTR has just reissued:

Nice workmanship!
