The print version arrived yesterday.

I'm another who received an email with a link for the digital copy even through I subscribed to the print edition only. In fact, when I tried to access a digital copy through the 'View Digital Issues' link on the web site, I get the following message: Your subscription does not include access to digital issues. To date, no print edition yet in Washington state.

Great job. I like your improvements. -
Harry Gant's Skoal Bandit Buick

Great job Steve. Which Tamiya color did you use for the green? I found the MCW Skoal Green didn't match with the Powerslide green too well. -
1990 Ernie Irvan Kodak Oldsmobile
randman replied to randman's topic in Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Yeah, I stumbled across it a few months back. It works really well for this. It's pretty easy, just upload your pics and it will create the links which you can just paste into the thread. -
This one is box stock from the Monogram Dinner Bell kit with Powerslide decals. For the finish, I used MCW paints. I had to create the roof and trunk lid decals to match closer to the MCW green. The body was pretty twisted out of the box so I had some work to do to get it back into shape. Click on the pictures for a bigger view.

The dash and electronics should be on the tree with the hood, small spoiler, and snorkel (air intake) components. It doesn't look like they made it to the instruction sheet though.

2022 Nextgen Camaro
randman replied to MarkJ's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
One other thing, make sure you put in the passenger side glass before you put on the B post decal. The window actually splits the B post so if you put the decal on first, half will be obscured. I hadn't thought about that before, but someone had put the decal on first on one of the facebook forums and was questioning it. -
2022 Nextgen Camaro
randman replied to MarkJ's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
I use Evergreen Canopy glue on mine. As you mentioned, one corner does seem to pop out on its own so I find some way to hold the whole thing down until the glue dries. -
I did quite a bit of body modifications based on an article written by Drew Hierwarter. I shortened the front end and hood, reshaped the window openings, and moved the fuel filler. I filed the headlights to simulate the scallops on the side. I modified the exhaust. I also used the Tuf-Lon rear fender decals from the Monte Carlo kit since they looked like they were sized properly.

2022 Nextgen Camaro

Is the smaller spoiler clear? I know the large super speedway spoiler is clear, but I wasn't aware the smaller one is available in clear, although I haven't opened any of the newer releases. I've been making my own smaller clear spoiler. -
What types or paint do you want to use? Airbrush? Spray Cans? For Airbrush, check out MCW Finishes. They should have color matches for this car. For the black bars, I use a Sharpie (Professional I think) marker on the inside of the windshield. I typically tape off the inside of the windshield and dab the marker until it is to my liking.

Here's another one that was started and then sat around for years. I finally got around to finishing it. This is from the Earnhardt Wrangler combo kit. The colors are Krylon Fusion 2330 Sunbeam/Safety Yellow and 2329 Patriotic/Safety Blue. The decals are from Wet Works. This one is pretty much box stock except for the roll bar padding.

Looks great Chris. Did you design the exhaust dumps? Those are much better than what came with the kit.
