Don Schumacher "Revell's Super Shoe " Vega Funny Car

[THarrison351]

Another one completed! This one was a gift from my wife a couple of decades ago. It's a re-release from the mid nineties. Revell didn't do much to make sure that the molds were in great shape. They were offset with lots of flash, even on the ejector pins. It turned out ok, but to build one is not for beginners. I have two more Revell funny cars from more recent releases. They have different wheels and better tires. I'm hoping the molds are fixed too! Paint is Tamiya and the decals were difficult. Hard to match the color. The only mod I made was the extended spoiler made from plastic sheet. Thanks for looking!

Extremely nice Funny Car build.  Looks like you have tamed the 'old-mold beast' very well. Schumacher was one of my favorite funny car drivers. Way back in the days of match-racing at local dragstrips he and another came to our local strip. He was driving the Stardust 66-67 (?) Charger. On the second of their scheduled three runs he came out of the hole hard, went sideways and sent pieces of fiberglass flying. Wish I could have got hold of some of those pieces.
