Brett you are so correct! As I look I am amazed at what I find!

You are right but I see so many beautiful Nascar's on here and think I might just do things different than the instruction sheet.

It seems to me that the Monogram instruction for the Kodak car is not very good as there is very little detail in just useing black as per the instruction sheet. These pictures tell a whole different story. Your thoughts and maybe your Ideas would be most welcome.

Very nice. I would be happy to do have half as well.

This helps. I live not far from a Auto parts store that has a fantastic selection of touch up paint. If they don't have it I am sure they will order it.

Thanks for the tip. I will try and get wheat land yellow if I can. Never really thought about the possibility of the black interior showing through. Thanks a lot.

Wow a split decision. So the choices remain. Thanks for the replies. But I am leaning towards paint.

Wow! Looks ready for the race.

I am building the Kodak Nascar and I have not built anything in years. A question I have is this. This kit is molded in yellow it appears to be the same or close to the Kodak color. I think regardless of the color I should paint it in order to get a more realistic finish. Your thoughts would be appreciated. This kit is proving to be quite a challenge for a first time in years.

Wow thanks for the tip. I am going to go to the dollars store and mix some up. Nice to know the shelf life is long when mixed.

Will Acrylic sheets work the same?

I have been following Chris Chapmen on U tube and I am sold on Acrylics. I have used them in the past for details and small parts but never sprayed it. Anyway I have 52 bottles that were over 15 years old. I had them in a box stored in the basement. I took them down and out to the garage. I removed the caps scraped off the dry paint. I found that the paint had separated and the pigment was on the bottom and a glue like substance was on the top. I made a mixer for my Dremel tool and started to stir them. What I found was after about 1.5 hrs I had 51 bottles ready to go. Only one bottle did not survive the years. I know that because I was able to rejuvenate this paint is because it was stored in a cool place. I would recommend storing Acrylics in a cool area. 15+ years and all is good Now I just have to get up the nerve to spray my first body. Just thought you might be interested!

That will be a nice project. It would look great without fenders.

Did not know what to call it so I guess Gasser will have to do. Back in the 60's a friend of mine raced a 57 Ford on the dirt track. I helped out where I could in the pits but Maybe I just got in the way. Anyway this is not a Ford But a Chevy. Wanted to make a dirt tracker but the Slicks were the only tires That made any sense in the parts box! The reason for this build is I bought 20 Muscle car models at a Garage sale for $20. A great deal. There was a box of parts and a couple of unfinished models. So this is what I am trying to do. Please fell free to comment on what you think I should do now.As you can see I have cut the tail fins back.

Glad to see that somebody else has seen this. I thought I might have had some issues that might have required minor brain surgery. I have a load of spare Decals I will try it out. I just wish I could remember where I read it.

Has anybody heard of Vinegar being used for Decal substitute? I read this someplace and can't remember what was said. Any thoughts on this or something that will work for Decals!

I have exhausted the o ring route. Checked Home Depot and a plumbing supplier. Nothing to be found! I would buy the spare ones from you. If you would like to sell them PM me. Thank you

I have this model and on opening the box I discovered there are no front tires. Everything else is there except the front tires. Anybody have an Idea where I could get them.

Thanks for the great replies. I am going to do some kit bashing and other things maybe a Dio. or two. One thing I will do I went into a speed shop many years ago and they had cars under construction. They also had a very large showroom with wheel nuts to air cleaners. I think a Diorama would be neat of such a shop. Some people are under the impression that I would like to get rid of them not so. Some feel Nascar Modeling is dead again not so. Check this out. http://randyayersmodeling.com/modelingforum/index.php Thanks for the replies.

Great response thank you.

What makes you think I want to sell them. I really don't need the money. I am going to be joining an IPMS group and will probably give some away to young people to give them a start in this great hobby. If you think there is no demand check this site out. http://randyayersmodeling.com/modelingforum/index.php

I like your suggestion doing ARCA cars. A little bit of imagination is all I would need. There are people under the impression I would like to sell them. Not the case at all,just want to get Ideas and I have a few now.

Thes are good ideas. I can make my imagination do it's thing.

These are all good Ideas.

He would only sell them all at once. No big deal for me except the space to store.
