Bruno Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Just finished this one, I used the Polar Lights Tommy Grove Mustang Funny Car kit, with Slixx decals, and took the Hemi engine in the Polar Lights Hawaiian Charger Funny Car kit (the Frantic Ford had a Hemi in it) Paint is automotive basecoat / clearcoat. I also wired and plumbed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi Bruno, a very good looking model. Super clean and well photographed too.What are your impressions of the Polar Lights kit, I don't have a clue about these kits?Nice finish on the wheels. How did you do these?

Bruno Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 This is the first Polar Lights funny car I build, those kits require some work to make them look nice, but I like them overall. Things I didn't like; - the slicks are in two piece - windows are too thick, I'll make my own windows next time - the blower belt is separate and rubber, which is a niece idea but here's how it looked A friend gave me a part of strap that comes from a printer he said, it's perfect for blower belts on 1/25 cars, so that's what I used Wheels were stripped and painted with Alclad polished aluminum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Very nice work on this Funny Car. I can't remember seeing these built before, but while I've been looking for those Polar Lights' FC Kits and wondering about their quality, it's nice to see that these can be turned into very good looking models. Really nice paint job and fine detailing. Also I like the color of those wheels, they look very realistic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
