Billy Kingsley Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Here's one of the 8 models I polished off this week. Probably the best results, of them all. They go a lot quicker when they were half done previously, I might add. I decaled this car more then a year ago, possibly back in 07, when I started the chassis. The decals are Blue Ridge and as to be expected they had some issues-I had to do some touching up on all three major colors. (In case anyone wishes to do this car in the future- Testors Light Yellow matches the decal stripes where the Testors Acrylic red matches the red in the numbers and logos-I used Tamiya flat white to touch up the white portions and it is not a good match) The "Craken' Good" logos were mis printed on both sides of the car. If anybody has a spare set I would like to aquire them somehow. I used a Davey Allison kit for the body and a Jimmy Spencer McDonald's kit for the chassis. I had to use a different steering wheel, (I lost the red one) and that came from my parts box, originally a DW combo piece. So, the body was molded in black, the interior in red and the steering wheel in white! Normally I do not build Busch cars of Winston Cup drivers, but this car is kind of special to me, as I had to really hunt for the 1/64 version of this back in the day. I knew it was out there as early as late 1992 but I could not actually find a copy until 1994. I eventually did get both the 1992 and 1993 versions, but whatever cars I have to hunt for usually end up being important cars for me. Kind of odd, yes, but so what! Enjoy the pictures... Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Kingsley Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hang on to your hat Chris, I am about ready to post all but one of them (it does not meet my standards-it's on my Fotki though, 2006 Jeff Green) I was working on posting them all when a major thunderstorm rolled through and I decided to turn off and unplug my computer, I didn't want it to get fried after 2 hours worth of surfing!!
