majel Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Built this funny car using the Revell Motorsports Jungle Jim Vega kit with Chuck Boerner decals. The kit was a real pain, lots of flash and ill fitting parts, I spent a lot of time trying to clean it all up. I used parts from Top Studio, Competition Resins, and Pro Tech to detail it. It's painted Tamiya Mica Red and cleared with Tamiya clear and uses silver beading wire for the parachute cord. It definitely tested my patience, but I'm happy with the results. 2
TonyK Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 I like Funny Cars so want to build a lot of them but as you pointed out, they usually test your patience which limits my wanting to build more of them. Yours turned out great and I really like your paint and details that you added. Looks real nice! Thanks for sharing.
AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 You can be proud of it Jim, it's a beauty, the color is great and the assembly is super clean! It's also very different from what you've been offering lately, it proves you're a true model enthusiast! ?
papajohn97 Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Beautiful job Jim! Hard to believe this started from a poor fitting flashy kit, the finished model looks fantastic from every angle. Your paint and decal work is gorgeous. Are the front and rear black riveted window frames decals? If so, they must have been a real challenge to apply. If the body can be removed, I would love to see more pics of the engine and chassis details you added. My drag car modeling interests generally don’t go much beyond ‘67 but your build here is inspiring me to expand my range. Thanks for posting!
Nazz Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Great looking Vega F/C Jim. Thae paint looks flawless and the decal work amazing! Don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said. Well done! Jerry
MADmodelDOCTOR Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 This is a perfect example of "building a kit". Great job man!
Hmann68 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Your hard work paid off in a great looking model! Nice job ?
Daddyfink Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Very cool build! Edited May 22, 2021 by Daddyfink
majel Posted May 23, 2021 Author Posted May 23, 2021 Thank you all for the kind words! I'm getting ready to start on a monster truck for something different and the Wild Willie Bosch funny car with Slixx decals.
Ian McLaren Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Jim this is a really good looking model, great job I like it a lot! Edited May 23, 2021 by Ian McLaren
