M W Elky Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I always liked silver and black landy cars between 63 & 66 . Definitely the best looking , and lettering in my opinion . I built these two with a mix of two of the really nice lindburg kit with a rescued Johan wheels , hard top body , and headers . I still need to go back and finish up sedan chassis and the hardtop’s headers. For now I’m calling them done. Paint color: Testors diamond dust lacquer on the sedan testors diamond dust silver with a old testors can of light silver automotive color on the hardtop’s roof and hood scoop . It's hard to see the color contrast in the photos Decals : slixx the a f/x car : parts box leaf springs, aluminum tubing axle until next time thanks for looking, Mike 6
papajohn97 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Sharp builds Mike! Particularly like that AWB sedan (both front & rear wheel re-positioning matches old photo’s of Landy’s wheelbase mods). I have the new Moebius AWB ‘65 Dodge hardtop in my queue to do Landy’s A/FX, just waiting for warm enough weather to spray lacquer again (been building acrylic painted military models all winter). Love all your drag cars - keep ‘em coming! Edited January 17 by papajohn97

I have a small heated air compressor shed so it’s like a model car spray booth 1

Brutalform Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Pretty cool cars. I like learning the history of Dick Landys cars.
