Ricky Rudd's Quaker State Buick

[Merkur XR4Ti]

This is Ricky Rudd’s Quaker State Buick Regal. I’ve been meaning to build this one for years and finally got it done tonight. Paint is a mix of Tamiya Park Green and British Racing Green. Decals are a combo of kit and Fred Cady, which look alright but make me badly want a modern Powerslide-style set of decals for this car. This, to me, is one of the iconic cars of the 80s.

They build great,  very straight forward. That's why I loved Monogram kits growing up

I'll have to keep my eye out for some of these.

Great job Steve.  I remember building this one a long time ago and the chrome grill piece and front bumper were a bugger to make fit and look good.  You did a great job!

Very nicely done ... that looks really good.
