chris coller Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 1988 Davey Allison Havoline Thunderbird. Powerslide decals a mix of Tamiya and urethane paints, custom mixed gray for the roll cage, body fits terrible on the chassis, Detail Mastwr fittings, Model Car Garage brake rotors, Pro Tech braided line and some other details
TransAmMike Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Beautiful job on an iconic NASCAR racer. Davey Allison may he rest in peace was a great guy!!
randman Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 This looks fantastic. I have yet to build one of the 87/88 T-Birds. Any tips on improving the body fitment?

Build the rollcage before paint, tape it the the chassis and test fit it. I hacked out most of the top of the cage. Found it unneccessary. Seems as though it's the wheel well/ crush panel area on the chassis
Nitrobarry Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 I`ve never been a fan of the more modern style of Nascar racers BUT, this is outstanding! Would like to see a side shot showing stance but I`d bet it`s spot on! Nice work!
Pierre Rivard Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Beautiful build in so many ways but particularly with the awesome motor compartment detailing. Top notch!
Toast Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Great job on this kit. I bet it feels good to go through some terrible fitting parts and come out the other side with a great looking build. And those gold decals! ?
TooOld Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 I still followed NASCAR back then and Davey and Robert Yates were my favorites and this was easily one of the best looking cars on the track every week . Yours is the very best build of tis race car I've ever seen ! Congrats on a job very well done !
Wakefan77 Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 What a great build! Fantastic job! I've always loved that car and you nailed it. 1
Horrorshow Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 Fantastic build. Great work and detail. Always preferred this paint scheme to the later all black car.
Em_Jay Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 that is a beautiful build. I miss seeing Davey race. 1
