I shoot it on bare plastic from about every manufacture......but test on sprue. If needed you can use Dupli-color #1699 sealer then the black. I do this when I have diferent colors under.....

Go to NAPA is you have one....get a can of Dupli-color LACQUER Semi Gloss Black. I've gone through more than I'd care to admit. It's online too....but even I have a NAPA and I live way back in the woods!!!

And now we know why Revell/Monogram never did it......

Cool to see this one built.......I have two....a unusual kit for sure.

Great stance and clean build.

I LIKE your spin!!!

COOL SPIN!!!! Boy that would get the PC crowd up in arms!

I like it!!! Warts and all!!!! I have a number of builds like this...I call them 50's and 60's high school cars!!!

For a 69 Torino there is one choice....the AMT old annual.(reissued a few times since 1990's) For the Torino Talledega there are 3....AMT, PL and 1/24 Monogram. Only the PL kit is full race. Here is my Petty AMT box stock build of the 69 Torino Talledega.

It's a 69 Torino. The Talledega was run on tracks over 1.5 mile....short tracks they ran the Torino. Petty was only in the Ford in 1969 and back to Plymouth in 70. (much later they had ford, Dodge etc) My 69 Torino Talledega build...AMT kit no the PL kit

Bingo! I should know to be more exact!!! Forum comes up well.....hit 'unread content' and I wait 30 - 60 seconds. Again thanks!!

Still very slow here. Either W10, Chrome or android. It is this site...all other forums I visit daily, email, ebay, fotki etc...all fast. Not a complaint as I was a DBA in the real world....just info for those working on it.

JJ's 1981 Buick was used for the Buck kit. FYI the Banjo Matthews built Thunderbird was used for the #9, 15 kits. It was the car in Stroker Ace movie....not a real Cup car and why errors got into production kit. GREAT dash Art!

So clean!!

Great spin!

There were no rules about chassis color in the 1980's. (today there is) Di Guard racing was not a huge team like many today. They bought cars and built a few. red, black and gray would all be correct. If you want to build a car as it was at a certain race....you will need to hunt photos from the race. Only a few teams had a single color for chassis in that era.

Let's see that nose part....yet to see anyone post a photo of it.

Looks good! The 72 was not the biggest winner....but a fav!

Thanks for your work...I spent tme as a DBA back in the day. FYI....forum still very slow to load.

I bought them cause they were cheap....never built one...no parts to rob!!! Now they are cool....

I got two of those kits.....how long ago???? My hobby shop had them on close out for $1!!

Again.......look at PPP window net kit.

I don't know much about the history of the AMT P 928 kit. I have done some work on the AMT Porsche 935 racer. It looks a lot like the 928 but I do not know if related. The AMT 935 started life as a Japanese kit under the NITTO brand. ARII issued it and then it went to ESCI. The molds traveled to the USA when Ertl bought ESCI. Now Ertl did some slight modifications to the tool and ran it here. Later somehow the tooling for the 935 was returned to Italy under Ertl/ESCI ownership. The tooling was run there but sold under AMT brand with a stick on label saying 'Made in Italy' This week Italeri has reissued the former AMT kit under the their label but I have not seen inside to see if they made any modifications, The history of the 928 COULD be the same......the design makes sense......but I have not facts.

Yep......rebox of a Japanese motorized kit......May make a decent curbside.

288 is maybe my favorite Ferrari......
