Telstar Challenger

[1320wayne]

Another recent build. Used a Johan Challenger kit along with Whoopiekat decals to get this one done. It's pretty much out of the box although I did use some AMT tampo printed rear slicks.
Also noteworthy. If a wasp is flying around your garage workbench don't spray wasp killer at it if you have a freshly decaled body sitting underneath where the over spray will land. These kinds of chemicals are probably the best paint stripper (not recommended) and I ended up having to order a second set of decals to hide all of the spots left behind from the spray.

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous.

So, no wasp killer. Yeah, I'll try and remember that. Now that you're beyond the mistake, that IS funny.

Very clean build, but I have to ask did you get the wasp?

Really terrific looking build here 1320wayne! The decal work is pretty fantastic! And , wasps and other flying critters like that seem to have no regard at all for our hobby. I once had just cleared one of my very best paint jobs and it was looking so good that "I actually was happy with it!" Just about then, a large mayfly did a kamikaze run right into the top of the car and then gunned it and spun all around leaving a trail of disaster and mayfly anatomy! Worst of all, I never ever quite got that beautiful paint and clear achieved again, maybe ever!

Don't know how I missed this but it is AWESOME! Those Johan Funnies are still tops in my eyes. You did a get job on it. Paul
