martinfan5 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I always wanted to build all the Days Of Thunder movie cars since the kits were released, but I only ever managed to build the #46 City Chevy , its one of my favorite paint schemes (even if fake) . Last year at the swap meet we have here, I bought two of the DOT kits, well now its time to start building them . So using the #51 Mello Yellow kit, I am going to use a set of Power Slide decals instead of the kit decals. So far , not much is done, the entire kit has been primered (molded in black), and the chrome striped Here is the Powerslide decal sheet Edited September 21, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Great idea. If I had the room I always thought a small diorama of DOT would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Painted the roll bar padding, the rear axle is done and ready to go on, and the chassis And got the black on the body, dont whats going on, but I have been having issues with painting, I think it has something to do with the primer. I will be sanding and doing one more wet coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
