... The Blue Max Mustang II funny car is complete (well, at least as complete as I can get it) ..... the basis for the build was the AMT Trojan Horse Mustang II kit ....... not really correct for the Max but as close as I can get ...... after two trips to the purple pond. much sanding, body filler putty to smooth the sides, adding an extension to the rear spoiler to more accurately portray the Max, and removing the horrid rivet panels along the lower body sides the body was treated to two coats of Testors Blue Pearl enamel .... the decals came from Slixx ..... the engine detailing came from Kurt at Connkur and Charlie at Pro-Tech ..... not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but a fairly nice shelf model to add to my collection ......

Thanks for looking ....

I was tempted to buy this kit a few months ago just for the wheels. I may just get one as I think there's just one left on the shelf at HL.

If you buy the kit to build, be aware that my build has headers and bugcatcher injector from a Revell funny car. Those parts provided in the kit were really poor. The headers were "build one pipe at a time" and did not fit well at all. And the injector/scoop was a two piece unit that looked too small and toy like. Other than that the kit was really pretty good.
