1969 Richard Petty Talladega

ASince completing my 92 and 64 Petty cars, I decided to dig this one out. I have never built one of these Polar Lights kits. I'm not tobsure about them. I had started this one years ago as well and thought it was time to finish it. Painted this one with Testors Big Bad Blue Laqcuer as well. Using Testors Dark Blue in the small bottle for suspension parts. I have a set of Powerslide decals for it, just need to decide which ones I want to use.

Just completed my 1964 Plymouth Belvedere as driven by Richard Petty to his 1st Daytona 500 victory. Started with the Lindberg Petty Kit. Painted Testors Big Bad Blue, Powerslide decals, Testors Silver Blue for the Interior, Mix of Trstos Light Blue and White for the chassis and under hood, PPP wheels and tires. I built the old Johan Kit that I found when I was kid and always wanted to build a better version. Finally got it done. I started this back in 2014 I believe.

1992 Richard Petty Grand Prix

Thanks guys. I've always been a Petty fan and have plans to build more of his cars but never really knew what to se for colors or had access to them. Not to mention, I have dreaded the two-tones. -

Chassis progressing. I took valve covers from a later Monte Carlo to do away with heat shields and I will attempt to use the exhaust headers from same donor Monte Carlo to do away with cross over pipes. Still work to be done but looking good. -
Have been working on this one for awhile now. Started with the Monogram Pennzoil Pontiac. Just dug it out to see about completing it. Testors Big Bad Blue with Tamiya Fluorescent Red, which started to get to red looking, so I dusted and light coat of Tamiya Fluorescent Orange over it. I like the look. Started decaling with Powerslide decals. Looks as though I may have to double up on some of the decals due to bleed thru of the different colors.

Started looking at the interior. Took the stock seat and scribed some pleats. Now onto the seat back. -

Took advantage of the nice weather and got some paint squirted yesterday and today. Testors Bronze and Testors Root Beer. Need to get some clear on it next after a little clean up work on paint line. -
Just a little something I've been working on the prep for paint before weather turns to cold to paint. Started with AMT 1950 3100 Chevy Pickup. Grabbed my Revell 1937 Ford Coupe and took the front suspension, small block Chevy and taillight housings to use on this. I grabbed an extra AMT 1979 Superbee kit for the 4 link bars and center section for the rear. I hopped on Ebay for an extra set of rear fenders and cut them for tubs in the bed. Wheels are Pegasus. Rear tires are front the AMT WagonRod kit. Need to look at the interior yet, need to decide what I want to do with it.

Does anybody know anything about this kit? Model Roundup says they have it in stock. Was looking for parts layout and what is enclosed. I'm more interested in it as a stock kit more so than the movie car.

Got some color sprayed over the weekend but need to scuff and resort. Need to figure out interior color. Thinking a red but not sure what shade. Looking at either Testors Italian Red Lacquer or Testors Flame Red Lacquer which is darker.

Just started thinking about this in my stash and what I wanted to do with it. Filled the gas door and found some Pegasus wheels, some tires in my stash that had just alittle bit more sidewall then the Pegasus tires (I personally think there tires need to have some sidewall to them but, that's just me). Got a 2010 Camaro and pulled the engine out and going to try and place under the hood. Thinking about Testors Bright Platinum Metallic for color with some sort of Red interior and convertible top.

Nice. Great looking car

Since my wife is busy working this evening, I thought I'd dig this out. Has been in the works for a few years now. Had to dust it off. A while ago, I crushed the body after it was painted and I contacted Moebius and ordered a replacement body. Since the weather had changed here in Maryland, I thought I'd get it out and prep and paint the body.

Haven't had much time lately to work on any models with trying to get kids ready for distance learning and making room at home for them. I did finally get a little time and got the Bare-Metal work done on my Charger 500
