Merkur XR4Ti Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I finally have built a Dale Jr car. Only took me 20 years to get around to it. Here’s his Looney Tunes/Gossamer ride from Richmond in 2002. These are JWTBM decals. The paint is Testors Huggar Orange lacquer topped with Tamiya Pearl clear; this isn’t entirely accurate for this car but I’m fine with using it. I used a Revell Pro Finish Monte Carlo for this (in the blue box); I think the body looks better than the one in the full glue kit. I ground the mounting posts down a little to lower it.
jchrisf Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Looks great Steve! How long did it take you after you started the build?
Merkur XR4Ti Posted August 21, 2018 Author Posted August 21, 2018 Not really all that long. The painting was pretty easy. It took some tricky work to make sure I got the white front decals on, but they were great and stood up to handling well.
