Dave Marcis Daytona
Mike Stem replied to yellowsportwagon's topic in Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
This looks fantastic! What did you use to glue screen in nose opening? I'm working on #22 Daytona & putting that in is about all I have to do. -
I used Tamiya Putty both white & gray on a Kyle Petty Mello Yello kit. It looked smoth as glass until I primed car. I used Tamiya white primer & it was full of pinholes as soon as paint hit the puttied area. Anyone have any idea what's going on & how can I fix it?

2 great looking builds! -
Do any of you know which color spray paint would come closest to matching the Kodak Films Morgan McLure race cars? Also, which spray paint would be closest to Viper Red? Thanks for the help!

Finished this a couple weeks ago. Used a SalvinoJR 81 Buick Richard Petty kit for the build. Windshield didn't fit correctly. I had a time getting it to fit. Not perfect but I hope good enough. Also, side windows weren't the right shape. Don't know if windows in all kits are like mine were or just a onetime thing. Other than that the build went well. Pics could have been better but it was in low 20's when I took them, my old bones don't like cold! Again, thanks to Dave Van for the help!!!

It's a sin to put an LS in a MOPAR!!!!!!!!!!!! -
I have an AMT 1968 Roadrunner kit I'm building as Petty's '68 Daytona car. It has round front & marker lights which I will fill. The 1968 GXT also has round front & rear marker lights. I checked. Your car has rectangle front & rear marker lights so you have a 1969 GTX not a 1968 GTX.

moebius models customer service for warped part
Mike Stem replied to youpey's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I bought one of their 1962 Pontics. The windshield was scratched up so bad it looked like doo doo. I emailed them with the problem. For $12.00 they would send me new glass. I WON"T be getting another kit from Moebius! -
'68 Petty Road Runner build
Mike Stem replied to Mike Stem's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
I've been practicing for so long & can't get paint to orange peel! I've been spraying up to 2 feet away. It looks orang peel until it dries. And when it's dry it's smooth as glass! I'm thinking about giving up & going with the '68 Firecracker paint job. White from rear of top to hood & C pillars & be done with it.
