whatisdeletrazdoing Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi everyone! My name is Jake and I'm new to the forum. It's tough finding a good NASCAR model community so I'm really pleased to join y'all. Here are some photos of my first NASCAR build, which I finished about a year and a half ago. I started with a Jimmie Johnson Snaptite kit and was pretty impressed with it. I didn't do much modification, just some minor detailing here and there. I used (I think) Slixx decals for the Coke throwback and some extra hood pins I got from Mike's Decals. Paint was TS-8 for the red and Vallejo acrylics for the gold. I just started the Bobby Allison Coke Mercury Cyclone from Polar Lights and cannot wait to get the 2 cars side by side. Thanks for looking!

MarkJ Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Jake, Excellent job on the snap kit. Really like the gold you used. Where do you get your Vallejo acrylics? Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to more of your builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed how easily the paint went on and how well it took to touchups. I don't use much Vallejo anymore these days (the bottles make it hard to mix and I had issues with the paint stopping up my airbrush), but I would use them again for this project.
