microboyca Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Hello all I picked up the Slingster kit from my LHS and have started the build up of the Competition coupe version.I modified the stock wheels to accept the AMT parts pack MH racemaster dragster slicks and radius-ed the wheel openings to suit the larger diameter tire.The body has been painted with blue metal flake nail polish.Hope you like it and thanks for looking.Cheers, Ron. The body and wheels are not centered in this pic so they are sticking out more than they really do Edited April 2, 2014 by microboyca
AC Norton Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 looks great, ron...excited to see yours finished. I just got 2 of these kits last week, and am dying to jump into one. regards, a.c.
gasser59 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Looks great Ron. Those RaceMasters look right at home on there. I have got to get me a few of these. Edited March 12, 2014 by gasser59
