Hemi Hydro Finished
The hull and trailer is the old Revell Hemi Hydro (re-released a few years back).
The engine is from the R/M Blue Max Mustang F/C, (also re-released a few years back), with a pair of Holleys from the R/M '69 Z/28. The flamage was the reason I chose to built this, I've been experimenting with some new flame styles... Wanted something simple to showcase them. The decals are Scale-Master, of course.... Also added a cooling system, wiring, throttle linkage & plumbing, made a set of gauges and the air scoop and some other stuff. The Cragars and Firestones are from the parts box, old AMT I think, Cragars maybe from the Meyers Manx. Still a few details on the trailer that will wait until a tow vehicle is ready for it... - Mark      |

Re: Hemi Hydro Finished
That thing is mad cool! I love it. But with all the talk of the flames, you should tip it up on edge so we can see them better. Looks beautiful, though, completely beautiful.

Re: Hemi Hydro Finished
Did you handpaint those flames or did you use several masks to airbrush them ?
Engine is cool too.

Thanks all.
The flames are decals I created. I did some freehand airbrushing of transparent colors after they were applied to enhance some of the tones too. Weather out here has been nasty so a good side photo will have to wait, it really needs the sun to show up well... - Mark |
