I don't, but looking forward to seeing the quality work you do.

Razorback 46

Maybe a junkyard or a 1950s dirt track diorama?

Don't know, but I'm betting they will be great builds. Looks like about a year's worth of work to me.

I plan to do the complete modified racing team for 1955 of the Fish Carburetor Corp.
Found some supercool videos on Youtube of the Daytona beach races.
The color combo blue/light blue and white suites them very well.
Even the 1955 Buick, Fireball raced at Nascar events, is there...
Look at those exhaust pipes of the Ford sedan, is this kinda cool or what?

That's an awesome idea, Michael and you really have your work cut out for you. I'm really looking forward to The Fireball Buick. Where did you ever find a kit for that?

Michael F

Mark,
as far as i know, there is no kit for the ´55 Buick.
I use the 1/26 Maisto police Buick with some modifications :D

Cool. I'm glad you could find something that worked. Looking forward to the wips and final photos.

The supercool rear wheels with the finned hubs are from Ron Coon resins, very nice stuff:
