Mr Norms Supercharger

[brett]

Polar Lights 69 charger Fc as in the Mr Norms Supercharger. Original issue kit, Put the frame together in a motel room when I was attending a hobby show early July (actually built 2, Gene Snows Rambunctious as well) along with the basic long blocks Painted the frames and bodies a few days after I got home. Hadnt /didnt do much for the next few weeks as my health took a turn for the worse. But decided I wasnt going to beat it if I didnt stop sitting there feeling sorry for my self. so started building again. Anyways I remember reading somewhere that the Mr Norms car was more of a metallicy gel coat type color rather than a true metallic or candy red so I used Duplicolor metal specks red over a gold base, but even if I'm wrong I still think it came out a great color and finish. Only had one real decal issue (yay for me) which was the hood stripe ripping a little(got another one coming). Anyhow here's some pics

Nice job as always, Brett! That turned out really nice, especially I like the overall look: Very clean, no flaws or anything and parts fit perfectly together etc. Paint job and decals look very good, too. Overall a very nice build.

Nice work.

Are the P/L kits more accurate then the older MPC kits, chassis wise ?

[OldTimer50707]

As always another great build from you.

Very nice job on that Super Charger Brett, as I lived just a couple of miles from Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge in my younger years, and also saw his cars at the local drag strips as well.

Thanks guys, appreciate it

Dennis I'm sure they varied from car to car but all the Polar lights chassis are identical, the only difference is that the rear of the Mustang variants have to have about a qtr inch cut off the rear. That said, they are a very nice rendition of a Logghe chassis.
