Dave B Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Love Cheetahs and was lucky enough to be given a Cox slot car body with a broken, and missing, roof. As I had a set of Fred Cady Cro-Sal decals what better than to build the only 'spyder' Cheetah. Pretty straight forward build as it is only a curbside, the most difficault part being finding enough period photo's to get the model to reasonably reflect the real thing. I'm sure no two scratch built Cro-Sal's are the same around the rear end!!! Anyway, thanks for looking. More pics to follow Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave B Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Love the background. Is that background a Resin Diorama Display? Tks for the comments guys, appreciated. No it's just printable scenery glued flat onto mdf. The base is 'asphalt' & 'grass' and the background wall 'brick' Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
