sprint car wings
sprint car wings
I have been meaning to post some progress pics on my wings. Here ya go. Disregard the crappy side panels that came with this car, just taped to them to check the look. I intend to replace the top wing center with a correctly proportioned version (used WOO and ASCS rules for sizes and shapes) and accurate side panel braces. These cars are so close to the full scale but the wings just detract something from the realism, not on my watch, LOL. Wing tree and front mounts too, soon. Any ideas for rivets? I imagine I will have to use adhesives to assemble the wings and add something to look like rivets. I have seen decal sheets with raised bumps for modeling but I'm thinking 'more realistic'.

very nice
Re: sprint car wings
Just an update on progress. I know, I took it to far ... Way better than those lame wing mounts that came with the car. Fairly accurate wing tree and even tried to duplicate the spuds that would mount the front stands on the cage. Note the twist in stands and accurate slides. The wing structure is just tapped together for fit, but will soon be solidified. I am getting excited to complete the wings, more to come.

Re: sprint car wings
Are you interested in selling a set?
Re: sprint car wings
I have given it some thought, I want to see how this one turns out. I have a lot of time into it so I'm not sure I could build it for what anyone would be willing to pay.
