acmiaz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 This is a 1/43 resin kit of the car the King ran in 71. Simple kit but very old probably 23 years old. Its not holding up as well as others I build during the same time frame. If I knew of replacement decals for that body I would rebuild it.

MAGNUM4342 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) You came to the right place Mark. Beauty of a build. What Blue did you use for the Petty blue. I want to say it's really close but that could be the lighting. Edited March 15, 2013 by MAGNUM4342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmiaz Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks Kevin! I used #43 blue from Realistic Racing True Match it was available in the mid to late 90's. It was available in 3/4 oz bottles and spray. I think I used the bottle, You may already be familiar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM4342 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 That explains the match! Those paints were excellent, if a bit ambitious. I think they overestimated the market for them. Hey check your private messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Isn't that the '72 Road Runner? The grill and taillights look like to be a 1972 model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 if i am not mistaken 71 and 72 were the same car only the side marker lights were different 71 has a 3 segmented marker, 72 is one piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottnkat Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Really nice job, especially for such a small scale - those 1:43 cars are just too small for me - good for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
