fordf-100 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This is the reissue of the old Monogram kit, this is a very simple kit but I had a lot of fun building it! I used the Californian decals that came with it in an attempt to do a loosely based replica. I only changed a few parts from what came in the kit, the wheels and tires with some white wall stickers I had on the rears, I just thought they looked good! I added some interior parts because that was really plain, basically a seat and steering wheel, the kit engine is just two halves and a couple other parts. I thought it came out pretty decent! Let me know what you guys think! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKrypton Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Very nice. It is a simple kit and I have been tempted; every time I poke around the local hobby store and see one on the shelf in fact. I may just have to grab one for a quick build. cheers, Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I started to paint the tires but it was too much work so I just went and grabbed some parts box wheels and tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 That's a sharp looking dragster. Sometimes those simple kits are a nice break from the usual and you can have fun adding a few touches to make it better as you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
