Mickey Thompson US Marines Funny Car 1/16

Funny Car is a type of drag racing vehicle and a specific racing class in organized drag racing. Funny cars are characterized by having tilt-up fiberglass or carbon fiber automotive bodies over a custom-fabricated chassis, giving them an appearance vaguely approximating manufacturers' showroom models. They also have the engine placed in front of the driver, as opposed to dragsters, which place it behind the driver.[1]
Funny car bodies typically reflect the models of newly available cars in the time period that the funny car was built. For example, in the 1970s, then current models such as the Chevrolet Vega or Plymouth Barracuda were often represented as funny cars, and the bodies represented the Big Three of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.[2] Currently, four manufacturers are represented in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Funny Car: Chevrolet with the Camaro,[3] Dodge with the Charger,[4] Ford with the Mustang,[5] and Toyota with the Supra.[6] Worldwide, however, many different body styles are used. These "fake" body shells are not just cosmetic; they serve an important aerodynamic purpose.[7] Modern funny cars can rival or surpass Top Fuel dragsters.[8][9] Today, fielding a Funny Car team can cost between US$2.6 and US$3 million.[10] A single carbon fiber body can cost US$70,000
In drag racing in the mid-1960s, Top Fuel horsepower began to be combined with bodied cars with altered wheelbases to produce the first "funny cars". The term "funny car" is attributed to Mercury's chief of racing, Fran Hernandez, as in "We need to beat those 'funny' cars."[12]
The first funny cars were built in the early to mid-1960s. Funny Car as a class traces its roots to Super Stock, through "the intriguingly named Optional Super Stock class", to A/Factory Experimental (A/FX), which NHRA introduced in 1962, and ultimately XS (experimental stock).[13]
At the start, the rear tires ("slicks") were made with a bias-ply construction ("wrinklewall" slicks had not been invented yet), which meant that grip upon launching was poor. Racers who performed these altered wheelbase modifications found it shifted the center of gravity rearward, which placed more weight on the rear wheels, enhancing traction from these bias-ply slicks. Because of these many obvious modifications they did not look stock, hence the name "funny".[14] The wheelbases were changed to assist traction for the narrow (7 in (180 mm)-wide) slicks (required by NHRA rules), while keeping the mandatory factory distance between axle centers.[15]
The first of the "funny-looking cars" were a trio of 1964 Dodge 330 Max Wedges which were named the "Dodge Chargers". They debuted in March 1964 at San Diego Raceway.

I believe this is a 76, 77 Pontiac Can Am body. These were wild cars. Great kit.

@davidhinkson8856 Ай бұрын

Very impressive kit! Not only in terms of size, but the level of detail in it despite a relatively low parts count. The engine alone and all the associated wiring etc. is really outstanding. And those decals are stunning!

I used to be into Drag Racing. When ever I went to a big event like the NHRA summer nationals, I would get a pit pass. This kit is extremely accurate. There have been a number of funny car kits reissued recently that are completely inaccurate. Like the people who created the kit never actually had seen one of these cars with the body up. You mentioned the chrome. There is almost nothing on these cars that is chrome plated. There is lots of polished aluminum but it's not a reflective polish. It's polished enough so that it's easy to clean. Most of the chrome I remember was the front axle and steering linkage. The wheelie bars were usually chrome plated too.

I've built several revell 1/16th scale hemis and I always routed the ignition wires under the top blower pulley. 😁

I built this kit back in the day...was my first large scale kit.

@kevinhuber8723 Ай бұрын

Love this scale. Had no idea Atlantis was releasing this kit. I always address the ride height but modifying the tabs or gussets on the rear end to move the rear end up in the frame thus allowing for a lower stance when assembled. This is no doubt a great kit begging for modification and wiring.

Looks absolutely awesome as always Chris an thanks for the time and effort you put into are videos

Chris, what I like about your channel is; I got back into modeling in the late '90's and till this day I do not own an airbrush. Spray and hand paint the whole car/truck. And my son, grandson and I love the stories with each build. Cheer's

I like it. Thanks for the informative video. I am so grateful to Atlants for bringing back these awesome kits. I only wish you would have included just one shot of the finished model with the body closed.

I think I built a half dozen of these 1:16 models back when they first came out.

BOOMM!! Great Build! Nearly there Mate.

@hensleyshobbies-doug7761 Ай бұрын

I think Mickey Thompson, among other big names back then, all pretty much ran Chrysler hemi's and more than likely a Keith Black engine. That's probably neither here nor there but just figured I'd throw it in anyways.

Very nice! I’m not usually a race car fan but I love super detailed large scale kits so this is on my wish list.

That is a sweet looking top fuel funny car. The only thing is. The decals say U.S Marines. See, I'm retired Army. So, it should say U.S Army. 😅😅😅

I just received a call from my hobby dealer. The Tin work on this kit is wrong. Atlantis put Vega interior parts by mistake, that’s why you had fitment issues. They are sending the correct parts to buyers thru their dealers at no charge. Reach out to where you bought your kits from and they will get you your correct parts.

This is covered in the description here, with a link, and on the Facebook page with this video. They were aware of it after the video went up so I could not edit it in.
