The Blue Max

[Old Coyote]

... The Blue Max Mustang II funny car is complete (well, at least as complete as I can get it)  ..... the basis for the build was the AMT Trojan Horse Mustang II kit ....... not really correct for the Max but as close as I can get ...... after two trips to the purple pond. much sanding, body filler putty to smooth the sides, adding an extension to the rear spoiler to more accurately portray the Max, and removing the horrid rivet panels along the lower body sides the body was treated to two coats of Testors Blue Pearl enamel .... the decals came from Slixx ..... the engine detailing came from Kurt at Connkur and Charlie at Pro-Tech ..... not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but a fairly nice shelf model to add to my collection ...... 

Thanks for looking ....

Nice! The Blue Max is for sure, one of the big names in funny cars.  I'm thinking of doing a "Max" using a '71-'73 kit, and using this photo for an example...
