DeeCee Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) That is looking very tuff, the scoop doesn't look too big with it all one color. Great work so far. Edited May 11, 2014 by DeeCee

AzTom Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Looking great. I would recommend going with a lift off hood to eliminate those hinges. How is the scale on these? Have you compared it to the Revell 1/25 scale kits? I may want to pick up one of these M2 cars if I can convert it to exposed head lights.
Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks am and aztom i appreciate it I did remove the hinge And I think there decent for $20 it's slightly bigger then the Revell a bit longer I'd say 1/4" To 1/2" Longer N less then a 1/8" wider maybe Edited May 14, 2014 by Outlaw_Pitbull_0411
Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 How did my car get moved from drag racing to other models
