Amazing build John, you are pushing the envelope with Alclad mate. Pics look awesome in the sunlight. detailing is superb as usual. Well done mate.

Thanks for the kind compliments guys. William you pretty much nailed it with the exception of non-kit cylinder heads. These came from all things a 1/18 scale model and they sorta looked reasonably right given these Monogram kits were probably more 1/20 scale(ish)

Thanks guys, really appreciate the awesome comments. Ok unfortunately I didn't do progress pics of this model but I'll step by step the paint for you all First coat was ModelMasters (MM) Chrome silver trim Then I masked of the areas that I wanted to have the lace panelling on and masked off the roof Second coat was a light coat of MM satin black so if you look carefully you can just see some of silver in the background Third coat was a very light coat of MM Red Metallic (it has the gold fleck in it) Then I removed the masks from the panel areas. I then made the lace decals to match the size and shape of the panel areas and printed them in black on clear Testors paper I applied the decals over the panelled areas of the body Fourth coat(s) was Tamiya clear Red layered several times over the whole body. I kept applying until I was happy the panelled areas were toned down enough (I wanted them slightly hidden) For the roof I removed the masking tape and applied Silver flake mixed in Tamiya clear and really bombed it on to achieve a heavy flake finish Then I used Tamiya clear Red layered several times to again tone down the flake and sort of bury it under color Then the whole body was coated several times in Tamiya Gloss Clear. Hope that helps, and happy to answer any more questions.

Hope you like. Shaved the handles and badges, peaked the hood, front and rear roll pans, Cameo rear guards, kustom side pipes, Radir mags with resin big/little side walls, Thunderbird buckets, kustom centre console, candied panel paint with old school metal-flake roof

Sly Stallone meets the Thunderbirds, I like it, nice to see a different interpretation of a classic, well done.

Very cool, nice rendition of the 1:1

That is sweet

Hi everyone, this is the Monogram (you know the ugly kits in the flat boxes) 32 Drag Devil. I tried to build it box stock but there were some annoying things that just needed fixing so I tried to find a happy medium, see if you can spot the changes.

This model is way kool, everything about it is straight outta the time capsule, well done mate, awesome build quality

Nice model Stefan, cool to see something different.

Bill, this is genuinely the best example of this dragster I've ever seen. Amazing workmanship and attention to detail. Well done mate

Awesome job Jim. Got one of those kits myself to build. PS: Been to Kingman twice, awesome place.
