Reuhkapelti Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 This drifter had a 1:1 role model car in Sweden a few years ago. I saw a video of it in utube and it hit me hard. I used several Nascar parts and the rest is again scratch built. The no. 43 is a tribute for mr. R. Petty ofcourse.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Cool. Drifting in that would get your heart pumping.
DumpyDan Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Very cool, looks like a lot of work went into this one
Spex84 Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Really cool subject and awesome detailing!I love the burnt rubber on the quarters and the sound deadener foil on the interior, the e-brake and shifter details, the aero, paint job...lots to look at an appreciate on this build. Very nice work.
espo Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Great detailing. I also like the rubber on the lower quarters ( rear wings?) The discoloration from the hood vents ads a great deal of realism.
FredRPG Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Unusual subject, really nice work. Thanks for sharing it.
Mike C Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Great build! I love the way you did the interior alum. But how could you put a Chevy engine in it? AAARRRGGGG!
nutboltu Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 who woulda thought somebody would finally build a nice superbird thats not a stock superbird? lovely.

Reuhkapelti Posted April 15, 2017 Author Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Yes yes that's the video where I spotted this roaring Superbird! In the technical info they say it had a 800 hp Nascar engine in it. They also say the front tires didn't turn enough, that's why the driving wasn't so impressive. But I think the Superbird looked superb.I as a modeller haven't ever cared much, what engine I use in my models, as long as it looks good and powerful. Thanks everybody for your kind comments! This one was a real fun to build, trying to make evrything as in 1:1 Drift Superbird had. I understand it still continues roaring around the drift track painted in blue colour.
