A great work of art

[flyonthewall]

Yep, still looks amazing!!!

I'm sure u said in your other post u almost gave up modeling after the trouble u had with this. Stick with it man, if thats the standard of your work it will be a sad loss to the modeling community

I'm not much of a fan of American cars except for that one! That is one of the baddest models I've seen on this site. Awesome paint job! I wish I could do that. Nice work.:bandit:

Hawk, say did you scratch build the front bottom piece? Or took it from another kit?

[jaxson]

Your model is real bangin. That thing will definitly win u something if not first in a modeling contest. i was just wondering what kit did u build that from and what kind of wheels are those. You should try building the F&F Dodge Charger(just a sugesstion).

For the front bumper, I took the bumper from the 350R monogram kit. I sanded it smooth in the front, filled the holes, and then drilled new holes for the marker lights. I then took some strip styrene and shaped it around the bottom of the bumper, and sanded it to shape. I realized with this project how hard it is to get something proportionate and symetrical. Not fun. One side always seemed to look slighty different than the other.
The kit I started from was a `66 Cobra GT350H which is a pretty nice kit. Just to warn you, there is alot of sanding and shaping to be done with the body of this kit. The wheels are "daggers" from pegasus. I think the look worked with this car.

One more question, do you have the part number for the front piece from the 350R? And the kit number for the 350R?

[Hawk312]

Actually, I don`t. Sorry. I built the 350R a long time ago, and dont have the box or intstructions. I`ll let you know if I come across them. Since the model is out of production and has been for a while, its a little hard to come by.

[Honoturtle]

Damn! Thanxs anyway. I'll go hunting for one. Or I could try and scratch build one.

Sweet model. Like everyone has said, enter that thing in a contest and win a couple prizes. BTW if it's not too much trouble could you post a diagram of your nitrous setup or if it would be easier, one from another site where the bottles are in the back seat? Can't wait to see your next model.

[Hawk312]

Here is a really basic diagram of the setup. Sorry about the crudity. I used my brothers real car`s setup as a refernce. There should also be a a small purge valve somewhere around the solenoids.
