Sam Cates Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Can't seem to find much as far as reference photos, I want to know what colors certain F/C chassis were painted and possibly which wheels were used on each. I am building some 1/16 kits: Whipple & McCulloch blue Revellution Demon Ed McCulloch red Revellution Duster Mickey Thompson red Revelleader Grand Am Mickey Thompson blue US Marines Grand Am Ron Colson silver Chi-town Hustler Gene Snow red Snowman Roland Leong blue Revell Hawaiian Thanks in advance! Sam
Mooneyzs Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hey Sam, I have a couple of old drag racing magazines with a few of the kit in them if I believe, not positive. I will have to take a look after work today and I could take a pic of the magazine pages what I find and post for you.

Sam Cates Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Sam...just curious...with a name that includes Metalmulisha...are you by chance a motocross rider? Used to be Terry, gave it up for drag racing but haven't been able to finish my car for the past few years... Chris, that would be wonderful, thank you!

Sam The Whipple & McCulloch Blue Demon :blue chassis with blue tin work. Ed McCulloch Red Duster :black chassis with red tin work. M T's Red Grand Am: gold chassis & tin work.Chi-Town Hustler : black chassis with red tin work, I'm not sure about the others, for the ones I listed I checked the ones I own. All of the Revell F/C's ran Cragar Super Tricks (kit wheels), it was part of the contract with the racers, I know when the Blue Revellution first hit the strips it had Halibrands (the Demon body was mounted on the 'Cuda chassis the team was running at the time) then switched to the Cragars, also when the 1st version of the Revellution came out in model form it had Firestone Drag 500's in the kit, reissues had Goodyears.
Mooneyzs Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Hey Sam.... So I went thru those magazine found a few pics for ya. I didn't have everyone of the cars in the mags, some I didn't take cause they were in black and white and I added a few others just cause they were in color in these older magazine's I had. Hopefully they will help somewhat. if they don't sorry in advance. Edited March 31, 2011 by Mooneyzs
