Hi again,

Here's an old but recently completed kit from Revell, Joe Amato's Valvoline Top Fuel Dragster which won the 1990 NHRA Top Fuel Series Championship.

I added the engine wires and light weathered the exhaust pipes. The color is tamiya blue and pure white.

Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.

Best Regards

Good job building this.
Shame the seams on the tyres stick out like sore thumbs.  That's the trouble with those big vinyl slicks.

I'm currently working in Jakarta, Indonesia but I've been looking to find way back to Perth to work there.

Thanks for your kind comments guys.
