  1. Might have to get one of these. I remember the Roadrunner Pro Street but not the GTX Pro Street kit.
  2. Wow that looks amazing.
  3. WOW! They both look gorgeous. Very well built models.
  4. So, I've been sitting here thinking about all the decals I have in my decal box and decided to get some cleared out. I grabbed the wonderful Powerslide 1987 Wrangler Monte Carlo set and a Revell Monte kit. Never a fan of Earnhardt when he was alive but, the racing hasn't been the same since, in my opinion. Went looking for color information and found that most people were using Rustoleum paints for this car. Never used Rustoleum on a model, was afraid on how it would react to the plastic. Decided to try it. Went to Home Depot and purchased Sun Yellow and Brilliant Blue. Prepped the roll cage and body and sprayed them both. Didn't turn out to bad. Had alittle etching and some sand scratches after first pass with the yellow. Scuffed and reshot the yellow, made a copy of the decals to cut for paint guide, taped up for the blue. Still have a few spots that need attention but overall happy with the results.
  5. Does anybody have them for preorder yet?
  6. Yeah, I have a bunch of different decals for this car. Can't wait to see what else / who else might become available.
  7. Count me in for a case
  8. Thanks guys. Looks like it's a recreation but it still cool to see it.
  9. After seeing the topic of the Golden Sahara Restored, it made think about the Kopper Kart. I went to the Goodguys 1st Grundy American Nationals Show at the York Fairgrounds in York, PA and was walking around and came upon it. I was surprised to see it sitting outside. I didn't talk to anyone about it. Had people walking around it all day. Not sure it is was the real deal or not but still kinda cool to see.
  10. Interior completed
  11. Making some progress. Chassis about completed.
  12. While the weather has been nice, I thought I'd get somethings painted in preparation of winter. Dug out my 1967 Nickey Camaro to get ready. Sanded, primed with Tamiya White Primer, interior primed with Tamiya Gray Primer. Body and interior airbrushed with Scale Finishes Emerald Turquoise enamel. Primed the interior gray in hopes of a shade difference in the color. Have been told it looks Blue and no turquoise to it but when I place my 67 hood with my 69 Lemans Blue hood you can really see the color differences. Hood pictures were taking inside and appear to be different color than the body but, I assure that the hood are same color as body.
  13. Wow! That looks amazing.
  14. Took a few minutes today and primed and sprayed my interior red after rescribbing the door panels to reflect the pattern. May shoot some Semi Gloss clear once dry depending on the sheen when dried.
  15. That Tamiya Champagne Gold is what I have been using for my interiors. I can find all kinds of pictures of the AWB but not many of the 2% car. I have read it only ran the 1 race I believe before being converted.
  16. So according to the book "Maximum Performance Mopar Super Stock Drag Racing" the Winternationals had 4 - 2% A/FX cars. States that they were hard tops with the Tan L1T Suoer Stock interiors installed from the donor sedans. Guess the interior panels are incorrect in the kit?
  17. I am working on getting things together for the Moebius 1965 Melrose Missile Super Stock kit. Was wondering if anybody had an idea for the interior color? Thought I had seen Gold for the interior but I am not sure where or if I had seen it now. If it was, was it the stock door panels that looked like the attached photo or were they the stripped down door panels like the A990 cars? Guess the same question for the Golden Commando car as well.
  18. Beautiful Comet. I think it's a great kit. Looking good
  19. I'll be watching. Would love to have one of these to built the Hurst Edition. Cannot wait to see what you do with it.
  20. Took advantage of the beautiful weather here in Maryland and resprayed my 69 Copo Camaro. I had ordered LeMans Blue Lacquer from Scale Finishes and airbrushed it. Didn't really like the result and put it to the side for awhile. Looked like the lacquer etched and all sorts of "marks" showed up in the paint, not sure what they all were. Decide to respray with LeMans Blue Enamel from Scale Finishes and love the look now. The lacquer looked to dark to me but the enamel looks closer in my eye. I know some from what I have read talk about not liking the enamels stating that they never dry but, I prefer them. I found an older set of Fred Cady decals with the "DX1" Strips. Not sure if I want to use the Black or White stripes or none? Lacquer Enamel Enamel Lacquer Enamel Lacquer
  21. Wow that is one beautiful Fury
  22. Love the box art. No pre-paints please. I can take molded plastic as long as it's not in the Red Family. Gonna have to get a few of these.
  23. Looks great. Love these kits. I seen Carolina Thunder and I thought it might be a Ronnie Sox car but his had Thunder in Carolina on it. Looks real good great job
