Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

Yes sir. What primer did you use ? Did you scuff R wet sand before shooting / very nice build thread congrats !

The fiberglass parts were primed with the 2k primer. The solartex parts were just sprayed with the Nason black single stage. No primer.

I've been busy at work and pounding away at the challenger.

I'll post some updates...

The last thing I worked on today is the canopy. I hate canopies. Lol.

Magnets and clamps with Forumula 560.

so you put inline fuel pump to prime system up???

I have some interference with one of the carb mounting bolts.

I'll have to cut the bottom tube for clearance.

I also have to make the delren bushings that will go between the engine and the mount, and between the mount and the firewall.

You can see the bottom engine mount not touching the motor mount because of the carb bolt hitting the bottom bar on the mount.

For the running I did on the test stand I didn't have the pump on it. I just installed a Emcotec 380 pump.
