Lizard Racing Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 In 1988 Johnny Rutherford, three-time winner, drove a Lola-Buick for Kenny Bernstein Racing at Indy. Unfortunately, he crashed out early in the race. Rutherford had rides for '89 and '90, but failed to qualify. This is the Monogram kit of which the put out a series of Indy cars in the '90s. There is a decent level of detail and the car goes together well. However since this is an original issue, the decals are VERY fragile and can come apart easily. This is nearing completion with the side pods and front wings to be attached. if you build one of these, make a copy of the decal sheet to use as a map for the color schemes. I did a dumb thing and got the colors backwards on the engine cover. So in the pond it went. As i was saying about the decals ... the numbers gave the most trouble. This looks worse because the engine cover is not fully on. This side came out slightly better. I beheaded the driver figure and used the helmet as a display piece. This is a good kit but be careful. I would assume the others in the series would have similar problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Nice build. I've got 4 of those series cars. The decals scare me. I've got a few builds that have stalled because of old decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Great job! I've built this kit and it is not easy to get everything lined up. Always glad to see an open wheel car on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim N Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Great work! Indycals.net might have decals that you are looking for with these kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
