After much sanding filling, etc. Shot it with Duplicolor primer sealer....to seal that squadron putty

Still needs a fine sanding, and a light primer before colour....

Cheers

Those wheels look to be the standard AMT or Monogram   NASCAR wheels from the 90's

Car kept looking familiar to me, then I saw my son playing with his Hot Wheels and noticed this.............

Thnks Steve, Andy , youre right the wheels are from a NASCAR kit

I checked C1's site. They make another Fifteen15 style but not those. Might try to replicate them with some other things lying around.I love their wheel styles.

Found a suitable roll bar in the AMT 79 Firebird, made a start on those gills...

Rear splitter started

Bare bones interior,..I think it has door handles,...but thats it !

More to come ....

Wow Bruce! I just stumbled across your thread, this looks so sweet in the primer, all smoothed out. Then the modern air splitter off the rear, whoa, that takes it in a neat direction. I'll be following...

this is sweet.Can't wait to see  how it turns out. Hows that Miliputty work for you?I've never used it.I use the Evercoat 2 part glaze putty for those heavy custom jobs but I'm all out.I learned the hard way about Squadron green.That stuff shrank on me big time.:( Right now,im using Squadron white and Tamiya putty.

The Milliput works great for big stand alone type stuff,...it hardens up overnight and sands fairly easy,..

Mine is about 2 yrs old, so is starting to form a skin around the outside of the hardener,...hard little chips in the mix<_<

Then I like to touch up with either Squadron white or Bondo 1 part glazing and spot putty,...
