AZKevin Posted December 14, 2013 Report Posted December 14, 2013 Hello Everyone, I hope no one is offended that I kind of 'stole' the topic title from the previous topic, but I couldn't resist. This is what I did after I got an old Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D on Ebay for $6.00 with no decals or box and a friend in my local IPMS chapter gave me some extra Nascar decals. Maybe not my best build (about 2 weeks), but it did take third place in the 'hypothetical' category at ModelZona (Nov. 2013). OK, OK, OK so there were only two other entries in the category Anyway, it was a fun build. When I do it again however, I will remove all raised detail from the kit.
ghodges Posted December 14, 2013 Report Posted December 14, 2013 Nice racing 'Stang Kevin! That old Hasagawa kit has a lot of potential for its age, and it looks like your elbow grease paid off too. Congrats! GIL
PeteJ Posted December 14, 2013 Report Posted December 14, 2013 Love the topic. Not stolen just appropriately modified. Great looking model and way to think outside of the box, in a manner of speaking!
Dick Montgomery Posted December 14, 2013 Report Posted December 14, 2013 Yes...but I would NOT want to be in the pit crew when that beast makes a stop for new tires. I'd be a bit nervous about the rotating prop.
ewahl Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 I always thought the pit crew at an air race changed the prop, not the tires. :gray-plane: Ed
MikeBrickman Posted December 19, 2013 Report Posted December 19, 2013 Good Work! That's why Hypothetical is a category, for those who like this angle. I will never forget the Space Shuttle painted in Thunderbird markings years ago....
Mark Deliduka Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 Love it! You did this one very well! Way to go!
