A fun vintage kit of Bill Shrewsberry Wild Wheel Standing Exhibition Drag Car. It was a challenge to hand paint the stripes; even though there were striped decals. Another challenge was to put the body to the chassis without breaking the exhaust pipes through the trunk.

Nicely done. What a great addition to the drag car shelf. Red and white are two colors I struggle with so well done here.

I used Rustoleum Gloss white rattle can, then I started masking for the red. I think I did 3 or 4 light coats of red for the stripes. The white does help with seeing how much red you need to be happy with the coverage.

That's really cool!!

Another really cool build Tom - with all the builds you're knocking out you'll soon be catching up with Mark!
