Nitro FED

I am starting to build 'Don Garlits, Wynn's Jammer' nitro FED, I picked up on Saturday @ the brissy swap meet. I plan on doing it the same as it looks on the box... maybe a few color differences. sorry for the link but servimg didn't want to play ball. Can any1 tell me wtf that peice of gray plastic is for cause i have no idea???

If you are referring to the rectangle piece at bottom right it is a display stand for the finished model. The original release kit had it described on the box front.



This builds up into a nice model so have fun!

ah that explains it ... thanks tezza ... all that 4 a buck and a half lol

I will be keeping my eye on this one as I am a garlit's fan I am looking forward to seeing this one done,if you need any info on it just go the his museum website.

Cheers Tony.

awesome score..

I thought i'd post a pic of the naked unpainted chassis .... doesn't look like much but it was tricky to glue

The two peice chassis can be a pain in the but at time's but this one is looking good.

Cheers Tony.

thanks tony ... the actual chassis wasn't too bad ... the 2 peice roll bar setup was the problem but it's all good nd square

It's starting 2 look like a dragster now

Now that is starting to take shape I like how it is turning out by the way don't forget to scuff up those slick's.

Cheers Tony.

l really looking forward to seeing this one done
how is the progess going on it

Have bought & waiting arrival of one of these too
Looks to be a much better kit than the Mongoose I'm doing now
- Mongoose doesn't have a chassis, just a PITA split body -
looking forward to seeing more progress

l got one of those goose rial
it was fun to build and only took a few hours to build
l joined the two body halves and inserted the driver from the bottom
so l would'nt have a seam going down the middle
just a small amount of detail plug leads and pulleys made from small washer's

NosNut this kit has been good fun to build ... u'll enjoy it. That is a nice blue on goose Joe. I did a mock up just now, seeing it like this is inspiring me 2 hook-in and finish it.

Seeing JD's finished 'goose is inspiration, here too

Not having a compressor yet, to run the airbrush... my excuse for lack of progress
