krishna.iskandana Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Hi again guys, I have always wanted to to build an old school drag car, fortunately I was given the right opportunity when AMT reissued their 65 chevelle superwagon. The model was painted with the combination of pure white and italian red (both from tamiya) and then clearcoated with gloss clear from Mr Hobby. I added seat belt and engine wires,scratchbuilt the roll cage from unused exhaust pipes, and also light weathered the exhaust headers. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking. Regards Krishna Iskandana Perth, Western Australia
Bartster Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 l like it. Longroof racers are cool, & you have a well built, good looking model here. Very nice. Bart
TooOld Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 That is so cool ! Great paint and trim work , and the decals really look perfect on this one . I'm lovin' all these wagons !
AZ Boy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Love it Krishna. Very good detailling and a great paint job!
CorvairJim Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 I'm so glad they decided to reissue this one again. Sure, it's w-a-y old-school, with metal axles front and back, but that sort of thing can be a lot of fun. Your wagon looks the part of the "Weekend Warrior" draggin' wagon perfectly.
krishna.iskandana Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks for your kind appreciations guys. Regards Krishna Iskandana
krishna.iskandana Posted June 18, 2012 Author Posted June 18, 2012 Are those kit supplied decals? Yes they are, all of them Regards
unclescott58 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Wow! Very nice build. I keep be amazed by what I find in these forums. Scott Aho Edited June 14, 2014 by unclescott58
geetee66 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Splendid work Krishna Very authentic, to my eye. Only one thing I can comment on, though. Have you considered using a black wash on the grill recesses? It gives more definition, makes the grill appear to be perforated and it's really easy to do. Apart from that, you hit it right outa the park!
1 bad55 stan Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Very cool,nice all round build...I built a race care out of the same kit...
W-409 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Very nicely done Chevelle Wagon! I like the paint job and those decals fit perfectly and give it a nice Race Car look. It's not a Pro Stock car though. Pro Stockers had (and still have) very tight rules and for example blown engines like this are not allowed. And then you have G/SA text on the rear window, which means G/Stock Automatic and this is definitely not a Stocker, either. I mean that it's a really nice build and you did a truly fantastic job with it. As a real Stock Eliminator driver these classifications just caught my eyes and I wanted to let you know, so with your next Drag Car build choosing the right class would be a bit easier. It's a very nice build, as always! Keep these coming !
