JohnB Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Just getting started on this one. It will be one of E.D. Weiner's racers. I've removed the fuselage fuel tank and added a "floor" piece plus I've removed some of the side wall areas that were likely removed from the real a/c (in my estimation LOL) and added fuselage stringers that would then be visible. I think the yellow/black color scheme will be very eye-catching! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have to have the wings clipped and racing tips added which I'll have to scratch build (fingers crossed it goes well!). 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I was in a rut in my modeling until I found the availability of the good quality racer decals. Now I can proceed with a bit more enjoyment in my builds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Looks great John. I had this mixed up with your other Mustang racer and didn't realize it was a new build thread. The clipped wingtips hopefully won't be too challenging. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar names but totally different a/c. I cut the wingtips and horizontal stabs tips off last evening so now I can go on and get the rest of the wing parts installed and the wing halves put together. Then I'll begin sealing off and molding the tips into racing mods. Fingers crossed it won't be a buggerup! LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'll see about molding the tips into racing tips which, I hope, won't be too tough. We'll see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
