My Batman and RC Cola T-Birds from 95' and 96'.
These are my slab conversions that I begin back in January.
The 95' bodyshape, I think looks great as a slabside. That nose and grille style really works. It should be a round body for the Thunderbat, but a paint mishap with it forced me into this easy single colour alternative scheme. It has also a blue chassis and wheel stripes (hard to see). I used the blue wheels from the Factory Stores kit.
The #94, I used also the smaller grilles from the new Valvoline sheet.
I really like this bold RC scheme. I think a white Nascar always stands out, not many sponsors used it as a main colour.
On both cars, I removed the molded grilles. Which is a pain to do, especially the 94/95 bodyshape. Rattlecans with Powerslide and Slixx decals. The #37 Slixx decals worked great too, no decal saver was used.
Though their white drivers name decal was pointless to apply. Was driven by Jeremy Mayfield.
Am really pleased with these conversions, without that junk body to trial on, not sure I would have attempted this. Next up is to work on how to stretch out/slab the rear quarters!

Great job, beautiful Cip cars. So much better looking than the next gen cars they race today. _________________ "Many men fish all their lives without knowing it is not the fish they are after." Henry David Thoreau

Thanks to all, much appreciated.
