rastta Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 What kid growing up in the 60's didn't like drag racing - well I'm sure there are some out there but I definitely wasn't one of them. I also loved rivalries. So hen I saw that they were producing the Snake and Mongoose models, I knew I had to build em. I was "Snake" fan. I tried to make them as realistic as possible - but added some touches to try and make them as different as possible, as well, since I couldn't find a whole lot of detailed pics. So here is my first contribution to the drag racing forum. Waiting for a replacement windshield for the Snake as it was missing from the box. After taking the pics I noticed a couple of areas that I need to touch up on the chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most stuff was pretty straight and true considering the length of the chassis and body pieces. Some of the chrome stuff was fussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your next project, Thanks, Rick I used Testors Enamel out of a can for both - "gloss yellow" and "gloss bright blue". The blue could have been a shade darker if I was being picky, but I felt these were close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseeJerry55 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Those look great very nice job. I actually have both of these kits un-started. Am thinking about changing the front tires to rubber ones although don't know where to source the proper size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
