1/25 MPC Blue Max FC

[nickfzr61]

My 1/25 scale MPC Blue Max funny car. Built OOB with the kit decals. I was going to add ignition wires and fuel lines but there wasn’t enough clearance to close the body. I had to remove the valve cover breathers to get the clam shell to close. Instructions were vague and took some trial and error. Also cut off the hinge for the body and moved it forward. I narrowed the front axle and the front wheels are from my parts box. The wing style spoiler was too low when mounted to the bottom of the chassis as the directions showed it so I cut it in half and drilled holes on each side of the driver’s compartment and glued it in on each side. Also added side glass.

Thanks Bill. Decals were ok. Very thin and a few split but I was able to get them together. The first one I put down was on the front hood. I used too much Micro Sol and it wrinkled bad. I use it much more sparingly on the rest of the decals and they laid down much better.
