Mach IV Mustang Dragster

[St Louis Snacker]

So I like a challenge. For something different I decided to build this bad boy.  The resin kit is from Speed City Resin with the decals from Whoppie Cat.  You use the TV Tommy Ivo Showboat Dragster as the basis for the heavily modified bad ass Mustang.  There is not a lot of detailed pictures on the internet so I'm going off the top of my head for much of it. I'm looking forward to building the 4 engines. 

I'm playing around with some different paint effects.  I'm using some artist acrylics that work great through an air brush.  I went over the blue with a pearl effect paint.  I'm not sure I really like the pearl effect.  We will see. 

I'm wondering is anyone else on here has built this and have any suggestions or tips for me.

      WOW!!  The only thing I really know is that

the slicks used for mock up seem a little skinny.

     And I also know that I will be watching!!

John, Thank you for sharing your pictures.  I know mine wont be quite as detailed as yours.  That model is kick ass!

Mod3l Lover, Those slicks were just for mock up but it did run skinny 60's slicks.

That's some project. Especially having to do four of the same engines.
