Hubert Platt Pro Stock Maverick

[mustang1989]

Ok folks......I'm gonna do it again.....only this time I don't think it's gonna take me a frickin' year to build it.



I had a really good time with my Dyno Don Maverick build. True....there were some trying times involved but I think I've my process down on these cars now. I have another Jo-Han Maverick in the stash in glue bomb form. I found a spare unpainted body and hood on ebay so I picked it up so I could at least start fresh. I'm currently working on a 1/48 Messerschmitt Me-262 over in the "All The Rest" section here but am starting this thread and gathering parts along the way. One of the things that I DON'T have for this build is a suitable glass assy so I'll be looking for one of those. I was hoping to build a 429 car but Hubert Platt's Maverick reached out and grabbed my attention and it is equipped with a SOHC motor so......we'll be going with another one of those. My other hang up is that I only have a few reference photos for this car and would like some more references. If anybody has any I'd sure appreciate any help I could get in replicating this car.


The kit: 




I received the decal sheet yesterday in the mail:

Glad to have you on JC! Just for kicks I contacted Round 2 in regards to a possible Maverick kit release. There's alot of folks that I've talked to in the last year or so that are in favor of another/ updated kit. Odds are it won't happen but what's the worst that can happen....they tell me "Not gonna happen?"

Great project here, a real nasty race car.

I remember a dude in my town planted a 302 in a Maverick, this was summer '71.  The car was a handful, sounded good too.  

Could you imagine what this race car would be like leaving the line, but Hubert Platt knew what was he was doing.....the crazy Falcon was just insane.

Great that your back at the bench!

Thanks Mike. Still gathering parts for this while I'm building an aircraft. Shouldn't take me too awful long to complete that and I'll be back at this one.
