"telstar" Challenger Funny Car

[NitroMarty]

Here's a look at my latest build........

Using the newly released Challenger F/C from the Model King, the body was painted with Tamyiya

"Pearl White" and was then fogged using Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" #23 "Marine Scene" nail polish.

Decals are by "Whoopie Kat" and are, in a word, FANTASTIC!

They are very thin and quite easy to work with.

(It should be noted that the decals were made to fit the JoHan

Challenger F/C kit, so the side graghics don't quite fit the Model King

body just right.... Still, they do look great on the finished car, IMHO!)

Overall this was a fun build of a somewhat obscure car that I

didn't think I'd ever have the opportunity to build model of.

What a nice build!!!

Did you clearcoat the body after applying the decals (if so, what brand did you use?)

I've just ordered some of their other decals, and can't wait to get them...

Thanks!

The body was simply clear coated using Future acrylic floor polish, applied with a foam brush, after decaling.

I contacted Keven a Whoopie Kat before decaling and he assured me that his decals are compatable with most any clear coat.....

I'd still be a little cautious about using any hot lacquers though!
