curb Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I have the Clear Cougar body (unfortunately painted Yellow. I tried to strip the paint off but was only partly successful )and it has the Roof Hatch... The MK Kenz & Leslie Cougar FC's body resembles that of the Eddie Schartman Cougar as shown. My guess is the Dyno Don Cougar FC will be reissue of the Model King K&L Cougar FC..which would have the incorrect hood scoop opening for one thing.
Daddyfink Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Why are they molding it in color? I hope they follow up with the Schartman car that is molded in white!!
russosborne Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 When? I need to be there when they hit the shelf. Russ

To come close to the original which was molded in red would be my guess. Probably figure some people will just leave the body the molded color, apply the decals, and done, too. Did the real car have pearlescent paint? Edited March 30, 2018 by Casey
High octane Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I thought that I would want one, until I saw that it will be molded in red. Oh well, I really do have enough to build anyway.
russosborne Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Red is fine with me. I plan on buying a few or more. I honestly would like 10-12, but I won't be able to buy that many at one time. Hoping they won't sell out the first week. I might even get a woodburner and build one the way I did as a kid. Motor through the roof. Just for nostalgia's sake. Russ

Hyrdo dipping the body shell after it's polished might work. I doubt the lace decals are going to be all that convincing, but admittedly, it's a difficult detail to pull off successfully. Glad to see this one back, warts and all.
gtx6970 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 As much as I like vintage drag cars . I may just pass on this one,,,or at the most I may get one of these. I already have maybe 3 or 4 of the model king issues and Ive never touched even one of them yet. and how long have they been out .
Mr mopar Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 I'm in for a few too ,but if Slixx does some cool decals ,maybe more ?
Snake45 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I'll buy at least one, even though I already have two unbuilt Cougar funnies. (Or is it three?)
Bucket T Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I have a few of the Model King issues as well but will add this to my to-do list. I like the old straight-liners.
stavanzer Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Is this the kit that has the Model A Radiator Shell on the Chrome tree? I remember reading that one of the Cougar Funny Car kits did.
iBorg Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I hope whoever buys it will post the decals. I've got several of the MK reissues as well as the Slixx decals. If I buy it, its for the decals.

Snake45 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Anybody remember an east coast injected Cougar funny car named The Finagler?
Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Funny. Already have a M/K white one with the truck. I'll be getting this one exactly because it's molded in color.
Fat Brian Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I didn't realize the body is as close to stock as it is, I have a Model King one will be getting a couple more to build a stockish one.
mk11 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Another alternative for a stock chassis and engine bay aside from modified '67 mustang parts would be the '73 cougar parts... http://wwwboard2.spotlighthobbies.com/cgi-bin/bbs62x/webbbs_config.pl?md=read;id=204610 mike Edited March 29, 2018 by mk11
