Title: Logan Schuchart #1s Drydene sprint car
Post by: 18degrees on October 14, 2025, 04:44:59 PM
this is going to be the #1s Drydene sprint car of Logan Schuchart.  basic Saldana #71 Revellogram kit.  did some chassis work to make it more updated than the 1980s Challenger chassis that was provided in the kit. ended up looking that the Triple X chassis website for a pic of a bare chassis and worked it off that.  wheels from SWS Chassis and tires from Modelhaus.

i noticed in the pics that i must have taken them at a weird angle, the chassis looks warped... it actually does sit flat.

got the chassis and wing plates painted, used Tamiya racing blue plus dullcoat.  it is supposed to match the color of the stripes and numbers. looks pretty close to me.  maybe just a touch darker than the decals.

the wing board decals are going to have to be trimmed, they are too large left to right and top to bottom.
