Building this one for a friend on mine. No complaints so far but I had a major paint issue. Used some Duplicolor from a rattle can (I believe it was an enamel) and it wrinkled really bad. After soaking it in some dot3 and a good scub/sanding I started over with some Tamiya metallic blue and still got a wrinkle problem. I'm using the same primer I have used on all my other builds, and same cleaning sanding techniques. Any chance it could be the molded plastic itself? The rest of the model painted fine. Used testors enamel, no problems. Still scratching my head on this one. After checking the duplicolor bottle it was a acrylic lacquer.

"Is that where you wanna be when jesus comes back?" Lol Great build!

Great build! Love the colors!

Thanks for the kind words! I had and uncle that passed a few years back and was a huge Allison fan and an incredible model builder,I had lots of inspiration. I tried to make him proud!

Thanks! Im working on another stock car now and was thinking along the same lines but feel the same way! Lol. Im trying to get a few more builds under my belt before I start tackling the more advanced techniques.

Very nice collection! They all look amazing!

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!

Thats a great idea. I saw a stock car on this forum where they did body damage like you said and made tire marks on the side to make it look like some hardcore driving was going on. I dont think it would have the same effect on yours though since it is black. But that might depend on what you go with for decals, if any.

Looks sharp! Any plans for a decal scheme?

Looking awesome!

Well here it is! I have to say it was definitely a fun build. Im looking forward to building more. Any tips or critiques are welcome! Thanks again for the support and all of the kind words!

Finished up the rest of the decals and waiting for a coat of clear....so close I can taste it! Lol

The hood is done with some clear on it. I was worried about the decals wrinkling up but they seem to have accepted the clear rather well. Now off to get rest of the body done.

Thanks for the kind words! I got side tracked by the Dale Jarret interstate lumina which Im going to be posting in the next few days. Gonna try to get more done on this one soon!

Great build! I started the Interstate Batt. Lumina today. Looks like a fun one.

Thanks Andre! I agree about the decals the gold does look cool!

The decals are harder to work since they are older but I'm glad they aren't falling apart.

Getting some color on it

Making some progress

This is my first stock car build. I lucked up and found 4 different stock car kits at a local consignment mall @ $3 each! So needless to say I'm pumped!

Great looking build Don! Ive got this one on my bench right now. Any pointers?

That blue does look excellent

Off to a great start! What color silver did you use for the wheels?

Got the interior finished up today. I was given an airbrush a couple days ago so I painted the interior with it. The paint I used was Model Master Acrylic. I was pretty easy to use and easy clean up. Now I'm thinking about buying alot more acrylics!

Thanks for the kind words! It's been a fun build so far.
