hogs29 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 This is one I built a few years ago. Basically a box stock build with Tamiya colors and clear, and a window net made from thin strips of medical tape colored with a red Sharpie. I used bits and pieces from several decal sheets and hand cut white decal for the stripes as the Monogram Petty combo kit represents the 1982 car, which is essentially the same with the colors reversed.

Guest roadkill2525 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I believe the reverse paint job was Kyle's when he drove the 43. Kyle and Richard would switch cars during the season to stay in good point postions until NASCAR put a stop to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogs29 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks guys. That's an old build, so maybe I'll get around to posting some more recent stuff. Michael, you've almost got it. In 1982, both Kyle and Richard drove STP sponsored cars with the identical paint scheme, just with the colors reversed. Every now and again, they would swap numbers to do the point thing, but Kyle got 7-11 sponsorship in 1983 and changed from #42 to #7 while Richard used the same paint sheme he had in '82 just with reversed colors. I hope that wasn't too confusing. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roadkill2525 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I couldn't remember what year that they did that, not bad for being 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
