curt raitz Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 This is another build of a Curtis Turner race car. I decided awhile back to build models of cars Curtis Turner raced. No other reason than the fact he has a cool first name I can relate to. I think this is the 4th or 5th Curtis Turner model I've built. This a model of the 1956 Ford he raced during the 1956 NASCAR Season. He started 13 races, winning at Darlington and 4 more races with top 10 finishes. Paint is MM Classic White and ScaleFinishes Ford M Regency Purple. Decals are from Gofer Racing. Thanx for lookin' 2
Dave Van Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Nice neat clean build....... I am a little bias as I did the decal art for that set....nice to see it built!!!! I offer the decals for the white car fyi.....
Earl Marischal Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Excellent. I much prefer the earlier NASCAR racers, ie pre-1970ssteve
bbowser Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Very cool Curt! I always like the subject material you choose. Curtis was one of the superstars of his era.
Old Coyote Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Beautiful build sir ............. you do outstanding work
John Goschke Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Man, that is cool! I don't know much about NASCAR but I love the aggressive look this has with the wide wheels and tires and killer stance! Plus the fact that it's a "Customline" hardtop rather than a Fairlane, along with that color combo, adds to the coolness quotient!
Tommy Isbister Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Excellent job on an excellent vintage racer. Gotta love the old school racer's.
Michael F Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Beautiful model of a very cool racecar of ol´ Pops.I have the decals and it´s on my to do list for next year.
