Moebius 65 Comet

This was a really nice kit. Great detail, great fit. Any issues with the kit were my fault. Anyhow - here’s a few shots of the build and the final really cool AF/X drag car.

Alclad Aluminum block, steel headers

Working on faded red interior and the motor. First time trying Tamiya smoke on the chrome - really like the effect

Coming along

Wheels on - big mile stone

A few decals and a test body fit

And here she is done and done

Great Kit -only issue was the super brittle decals… I was able to work most of them but a few went in the trash

Highly recommend. Really nice kit.

Well done John.

Really superb work!

I can remember seeing Arnie ‘the Farmer’ Beswick in several of his Hemi-chewing Pontiacs at Chicago-area dragstrips back in the '60s. This is a great salute to one of the ‘classic’ drag racers, still going strong when last I heard!

Thanks for sharing it. [Y][B]

Thanks guys. Greg that must have been awesome! I see a few A/FX cars out here at Barona - 1/8 mile. They are my favorite drag cars for sure.

One more… because I love the stance

Nice build. I think that I built an AMT version of that car back in the 1960’s. I love the big SOHC Ford engine.
