Beautiful build , Steve. I'm waiting for Bubba's first cup win to do a car for him. Hopefully it will come soon. Guess I'll have to get a resin Camaro body.
Its just easier for me to do the cage in the chassis and then paint it. If you brush paint you wont have any trouble getting full coverage and if you dont you wouldnt be able to tell if the paint was there or not. I do the seat and dash seperate before i install them . no way to paint them after they're installed. At least I cant.
Paint came out beautifully. Good old tamiya. Really hard to beat for consistent super nice paint jobs. Just for me though, not available locally anymore.
i used what they call a hot pink testors enamel but I had to darken it a little on my Bobby Allison charger that was really a Robbins car that Allison prepared for Robbins and borrowed it for a few races in 1971. that pink seemed to change a little from car to car.
Looks perfect, Mark. Giving me a lot of inspiration to finally do the one I bought many moons ago. But it will be out of the bag, there was no box, and no extra detailing. Again beautiful build.
Ok, now I get it, but did Petty actually drive a satellite in 1973? I thought he was all charger by then. That must have cost a lot to to make a resin of.
Looks, awesome, but i'm having trouble wrapping my head around the scratchbuilt statement. Doesn't some one make this model in 1/16 scale so you shoudn't have to scratch build it? Maybe i'm just cofused ,as usual.
