Greetings,
I found an old resin blank model in the family work shop. My dad and uncle used to race and paint slot cars for many years before their passing. I was curious if anybody on here might be able to help me with more information about this blank.
From the information in the box, it may have come from Flash Point Motorsports in California but I don't think they're in business anymore. This is an old blank. Possibly 20 years or more. Thanks for any information that can be provided.

Definitely a Studebaker Champion/Commander dragster body...
...one of my favourite 3D bodies (not a dragster though this one)

From what I can gather, it's based on the car in this video:

would love a resin 3d printed 1/32 body of this car if anyone is willing to oblige ? ( none dragster ) only body , interior and glazing are not required
i only have an FDM printer and do not want the hassle of layer line removal , and resin is a crisper print anyway
please PM if willing

I have the file but not messing about mixing resins again...BUT, I like the sound of the resin the guys on HRW forum have been using and it's not too steep price-wise so will get some as I fancy printing a few bodyshells again (after a couple of years layoff).
