1/16th Scale Front Engine Dragster

[Mooneyzs]

Hello All.... Many of you may or may not know about the 1/16th Scale Funny Car I have been building for quite a while. Well I needed a small little break from it and I decided to Pull out this 1/16th Scale Font Engine Dragster that I had started 17 years ago and painted it 3 years ago right before I started my 1/16th Funny Car. Keep in mind that the Chassis was painted way back then all of the engine detail was done back then too. All I really had to do was assemble the rest of the car and call it good. in the past few weeks I was determined to get it done for a show this past weekend and some of the things to finish were..... build the Photo -Etch wire wheel set, get the rear tired mounted and polished, Make the parachute, Color Sand and Polish the body out as well as I re-did the radius rods on the front end because I wasn't happy with how they kit one looked on it because they were all bowed out.

 

I am proud of this build because I haven't finished a model in 3 years due to focusing on my funny car. Now I know this model isn't perfect by any means but happy with it. Anyway here are some pics of it to share with you......
