This is gonna be so good. I've collected a few 1/16th scale FED kits myself and am really liking where you're going with this John. I'm in the front row with my popcorn. With the speed you build, I only hope that I don't miss something if I have to run to the bathroom. :-)

John.... this is starting out great. You know I will be following along for sure. I can't wait to see more on this build. I love those front wheel. I need to find me a set for sure. I keep looking but havent found one yet for a goot price...lol

Brad... you need to start one of those 1/16 th scale kits too ;)

Excellent progress John. As simplified as the 25th scale versions are it will very refreshing to see buildups as detailed as these will be.

John,

You are a great inspiration. I'm getting back into the hobby after a long absence. I enjoy this forum and your work.

Posted

John... This is some fantastic work you are doing on these builds and am loving the progress you are making on it. Keep up the great work.

Posted

John, another great start! Where did you get the front wheels?

Stephen.......I got the wheels awhile back from GMP die cast..........I had purchased all the 1/18 scale scale dragsters........we had a Earthquake here in Cal. a few years ago.......and some of my die cast fell from my shelfs and some wheels got damaged......so I asked them to replace them for me........they gave me a few extra sets.......I am using them on these builds.........I will make them re-movable so that I can use them on future builds ........I thought the wheels that come with the Revell kits look to cheesy.........I think these will look better.........thanks.

Hello.......thank you all for the following these two builds and for the kind comments........I finished these builds and have posted finished pictures in the "UndrerGlass" section.

APRIL FOOLS APRIL FOOLS APRIL FOOLS

I bought and built these two 1/25 Monogram original kits in the original boxes about 6 years ago off Ebay.......they both had a few parts missing........even though not very many parts in a sealed kit.......I doctored them up a little using parts from parts box........I am glad that I pulled out these builds for pictures......I noticed that they both have a push bar and a wheelie bar........ that I will add on these 1/16 builds........I will have progress photos tomorrow........happy April Fools day..........thanks for looking.
