Heres a mockup of my latest project, "Gold'n Duece". It will be finished in ModelMaster Inca Gold with pearl white interior and roof insert. Tires are from the Revell rat rod kit, Radirs from the T-bolt kit, buick finned drums fom RMCoM. The nailhead is from the '66 Rivi kit. The body has a 2mm section and may get a subtle top chop too (undecided). I've got another body with a 4" section and I'm still thinking about using that one.

I'm going for the 60's show car vibe...

Frame mods: Notched the rear frame for axle clearance, drilled out larger holes for the airbags (leaving the holes gives me a location point), raised the rear pan to clear the diff, modified the tranny mount and scratched new engine mounts.

This is the project thats kept me busy for a while now... A 1/32 Air Racer! I haven't built a plane in 25 yrs, but this one really caught my eye... Kind of the hot rod of its day. Its been an interesting project. I'm waiting on mfgrs updated decals to finish it off.

Who Makes That Plane Kit ? I love it that plane

They've got several air racers that I really like!

Looking good so far. I would do the top chop if it were mine. Have you decided on the front end/grille yet?

I've been looking at the 4" sectioned body I've done, really liking the look, and will probably use it with an MCG 4"chopped grill.

Pretty subtle difference from the first body, But its just looking right to me.

I even like it without chopping the top, gives it more of a 60's custom feeling.

Yeah, this body is better for the theme. I can picture any number of 60's paint schemes on this one! The gold and pearl white should do nicely. :P

Eagerly awaiting future progress. B)
