Hawk312 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) A couple disclaimers first. In my 35+ years of building, I have built 2 stock cars from memory. One was the Mountain Dew Regal kit back when it was still new on the shelves (like `83 or 84`ish). The second was the Rick Mast Remington Thunderbird back in the late 90`s. So, I don`t have much experience building these. The other disclaimer is that I built this the way I like it from some of the reference pictures I had, so some details may not be accurate. But hey, it`s my model. Anyway, pretty much box stock with Power Slide decals. The decals are very opaque! The paint is Rustoleum Chevy Orange Engine Enamel if you can believe it, from the can. I *really* like this color and this paint. It went on very nice, and is very "orange." My Tamiya orange is going in the trash after using this. No clear coat this time. Sorry for the picture quality. These were just taken with my phone. Let me know what you think. Edited July 30, 2016 by Hawk312
