You are correct. I had a look. It is never going to happen but the one off Grateful Dead livery on Rosenqvist's Dallara was sure cool. Metallica is next.

Thanks Russ - I have the Dan Gurney Team Eagle version which I would really like to build someday and it has a very complex set of decals with no back up. I have not researched options for old decals but hopefully someone has figured out a solution.

Thanks Bruce - I would like to get one of those Salvino JR kits of the current Indycars but not sure what livery I would want to use. I would likely have to get after market decals as none of the one available from Salvino JR really grab me.

Very stricking racing Ferrari

Thanks Helmut

Thanks Larry

Thanks - Yes the drivers come in the kits with helmet and uniform decals

Thanks Tony - Unfortunately we in Canada can no longer buy Tamiya spray paint.

Thanks Rich for your comments and tribute. Living in Vancouver I was able to witness his entire career. He was very well liked by his fellow drivers.

Back when the Revell Reynard Champ Car kits were first released at the turn of the century local modellers built a grid of models representing most of the liveries that were currently racing. All of these models were brought together for a display at a Vancouver Motorsports Show. My contribution was a model of Paul Tracy’s Kool sponsored Reynard. One of the other modellers built a fabulous replica of Greg Moore’s Player’s sponsored race car. Even though I was big fan of Greg I did not have the imitative to build my own model of his race car until I was recently asked to put together a display of models representing Greater Vancouver Motorsports Pioneers. Greg Moore was an incredible racing talent who was tragically killed in an accident at the California Speedway in 1999. He was contracted to move to the dominate Penske team in 2020 where he may have eventually won the Indy 500 and Champ Car Championship. I believe he was so good he could have eventually gone to F-1 and with the right team could have become a World Champion. I built this model pretty much box stock. I first sprayed the aft section of the body and the front wing Tamiya Pure White. I am not very satisfied with the results of my decision to mask the white painted areas with Bare-Metal-Foil in part because my before spraying with Tamiya Light Blue which is very close to the Player’s Blue. After some touch up, I proceeded to apply the decals. I figured I would be in good shape having both the kit decals and the Ricambi Player’s livery decals both being printed in Italy which is renowned as the source for high quality decals. Something I did not factor into the equation is that both sets of decals were a quarter of a century old. Neither set of decals reacted favourably to any of my multiple decal solutions so the results leave something to be desired. Be that as it may I am very pleased to finally have this model in my collection.

Congratulations Jerry on another fantastic altered. I hope to see your collection in person someday.

Excellent workmanship on all aspects of this build which is going to look fantastic under glass.

Radical is certainly an apt description. Totally radical.

Hard to beat the look of a Cammer engine.

Beautiful looking Deuce Roadster Russ. Gorgeous colour.
