MarkJ Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Red Byron was the first Nascar Strickly Stock champion in 1949. Strickly Stock was the forerunner to what is now known as the Monster Energy Cup series. The kit I used was the Revell 1950 olds kit. I did some modifications to the body to make it look like a 49. The build took 105 hours to complete. The paint is Model Masters Acryl polished and final coated with future floor finish which is now known as Pledge Floor Care. to see more pictures go directly to my photobucket page http://smg.photobucket.com/user/texwardfan/library/1949%20Red%20Byron%20Oldsmobile?sort=3&page=1 Edited July 7, 2017 by MarkJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Very nice Mark. How do you apply the Future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Very nice Mark. How do you apply the Future?J.C. I use a wide brush barely overlapping each pass. also make sure you don't use too much or it will run and pile up due to gravity. Future is now sold as Pledge Floor Care.

PettyKW43 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Great build! I've been wanting to do this car myself but haven't been able to find the decals, did you make your own ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Great build! I've been wanting to do this car myself but haven't been able to find the decals, did you make your own ? Gary, yes I made the decals. Remember , there is no 49 olds kit. I'm not sure if anyone makes a resin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PettyKW43 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I wish I could make my own as well I have a number of projects that I doubt that will ever be done by the aftermarket, I just don't have the computer skills to pull it off! But again Mark nice job ,Rick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
