Not sure what the writting is for but I do know that the wheeles on the model dont look anything like the ones I saw on the real dragster at the MileHigh Nationals... these ones look way to solid

I thought that might have been some of the deal with the star when I looked at it again.

The stars on the side were a pain, I had to cut them down to fit and I didnt do a real good job of that, and the reson they look like they are sticking up is because on the bottom edge is sticking out alittle all around the body of the dragster

Nice overall job Airbrush. Only see a couple of things that I could suggest for you. The bottom of the star decal looks like it is sticking up a bit, painting the exhaust tips as you said would get them looking better and give them some depth. One improvement you could make is to add some wiring to the engine. Don't really take to much of that to make a big difference. Glad you got a car that you are happy with though.

I thought about the exhaust, but the best I can do with out ruining it is to paint the center flat black.

Looks excellent. I'm mostly an airplane guy, and not a very experienced modeler, so I don't have much in the way of tips. One thing that helps on airplanes however is drillling out the exhausts, so they look like pipes and not bars. Have you got a pin vise of some sort?

Your paint and decals and detail looks great.
