Salvino JR NextGen Camaro
jjsipes replied to jjsipes's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Just scuffed and got some paint on this one today. Never used this color before (Tamiya TS-28 Olive Drab 2) so, I was curious how it would turn out. Still waiting for it to dry to see if it will be glossy or flat or what. If flat, will need some gloss clear to be able to decal it. These pictures were right after it was sprayed. Now about 30 mins later, it appears to be drying to a satin finish. -

Thanks Mark. No I will not be fixing the roof rail on this one. Just want to try and get one together to see how they go. Have been reading ill things about the kit why did they do this? why did they do that? Just wanted to see for myself how they go together. -
Sunbeam Tiger vs. Shelby Cobra Duel

They look amazing. The fit, the finish, the detail work looks great. Hard to believe these are brush painted! -
Wow that's beautiful. Don't believe I have ever seen that one built before. Nice!

Since I have some bodies for winter assembly, I thought I'd hop back on to the NextGEN kit. This one will be my "guinea pig". Primed the body and got the rollcage assembled. No real issue with rollcage other than the top rollbar piece as molded was warped badly. The vertical center bar seems to be a tad short. But, the biggest issue is the under-chassis plate being warped badly. Need to decide if I want to paint the rollcage assembly and the top of the under-chassis plate that is the bottom of the cockpit? -

Those colors really pop. I'm in the middle of converting the Revell Daytona into a stock car as well. A lot of work but getting there. Yours looks great. -

Looking good for the issues you have been talking about. I have thought about building some of these Fords but just haven't had the time. So thanks for sharing yours. -
