Wow. Great pics! I thought these were a lot more modified than they are.

Very true. To me it just seemed like a kit that should have cool box art to go with it. Those who know what it is will buy it. Period. I will be getting 3 or 4, especially since it is going to have the extra hemi engine, etc.

Cool! Nice little hot rod. Good stance and big block power, what's not to like?

This is cool! I like what you are doing with the engine! Stance looks good too. Maybe go to a craft store or ebay and get a bag of watch parts, gears etc. They sell them both places. That would help with the interior and steering wheel details.

Yup, that is exactly what it was. And would make sense with the direction it was going. Thanks Snake!

Yeah, I think I was WAY off, looking again I am betting it was a C-47, The color scheme was the olive drab with a gray belly. There is at least 1 in the area and it has the invasion stripes on it. I am no expert with planes, as anyone who is would be able to tell by the fact that I probably misconstrued a common plane with a very rare one. Perhaps wishful thinking on my part? When I was googling I saw that the only B-26 that can still fly was pretty close to what I thought I saw, so I though I might have gotten lucky. I really wish I would have had my camera, then someone would be able to say for sure, but most likely it was the C-47. I think my memory was distorted and I was thinking the cockpit was further back and the nose a little longer, but when I look at underside photos of the C-47, I think that is what it was.

I am at my Mother-in-laws house in Rockledge, Florida. On the 4th, I was fishing in the lake behind the house when I heard the engines of an old plane. I look up and it was a WW2 era dual engine, medium size. I am not an expert, but I am almost positive it was a B-26 Marauder. Unfortunately, I left my phone inside and didn't get a pic, but I googled it and I think that is what it was. It turns out, the only one that is still in flying condition is/was not too far from here. That one is or was at the Fantasy of Flight Museum in Polk City. The color scheme is different than the one I saw, but most of the stuff online was from a number of years ago. The one that flew over had the black and white "invasion" stripes on the wings and fuselage, the pics online didn't, but I think the plane may have changed hands or got a repaint. Anyway, the sight and sound of it were awe inspiring and I felt really lucky to have seen it, especially on the 4th of July!

It is funny what they chose to make a fuss over in the videos and what they passed over.

IMO, it is not the best composition. If your intent is to sell the Mooneyes dragster, it would seem to me that IT should be the main subject that attracts the eye, centered or slightly above center and with the most detail. The background should be there to support the subject and provide the viewer some context. It kind of does this, but it should be cropped much tighter. At the end of the day, we just want the model, so it doesn't really matter, but this could have been a really cool one.

Very nice work! Your attitude is very admirable, learning from doing and then building on it to improve! That is how you get good at doing things and a great lesson for all of us here!

Great job! Nice photos too!

Great job!

Nice job!

Looks like another beauty! You have a great eye for this type of build!

Excellent job! Probably the best build I have seen of this kit!

It certainly looks good from here! Great job!

Wow! That is some great detail painting!

Well done! Nice color combo. The wheels and tires are perfect for it!

Thanks!

Beautiful job! What is the deal with 429 on the hood?

Super job!

Great job, nice color and details!

Outstanding model! Love everything about it! Great color!

Ok. Sorry I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying! ?

Excellent work!
