Bonjour All, Just finished this kit. Its from Atlantis models in the USA, although I got this one via Germany, but its essentially a re-issue of the Revell 1/16 dragsters of the 70's , many of which I enjoyed building then. Of course, now there are a lot more super detailing parts available, especially the hoses and connectors, so I had to make the most of them! Particularly good are the connectors by Model Factory Hiro and braided hoses by Tamiya and Top Studio. but some things needed modifying to give them enough clearance. Top Fuel Drag racing cars were not , and are not , allowed any electronic fuel regulation, so its all done with managing the fuel pressures, hence the abundance of fuel lines, not just one fuel rail.
Overall it was a fun kit to do and brought back many memories, but a lot of the parts needed 'improving' to fit and there was a lot of flash to tidy up, but I got there in the end.
Another product I found really good for this sort of application was a chrome paint pen by Molotow. It was easy to use and gave excellent results , especially on chrome parts that had marks were they were cut from the sprue.
See what you think.
