So I have come to accept that I am obsessed with Days of Thunder. Mainly with the cars since we all saw the plot played out with F-14's a few years earlier. Since I was a kid I have always wondered what the cars from the movie would be like if from other series. 

Here is my take on what the Mello Yello car would have been like if it were a TA Camaro. This one was a lot of fun being something different and seeing it come to life. I even thought up a back story that Cole kept racing for Rowdy and go tired of being beaten on the road courses so he went and rented somebodies TA car (Hence the blue chassis/cage) and MY stayed with him. 

Anyway enough of my gabbing. Revell kit, Ironlak paint for the chassis, Tamiya paint everywhere else and Patto's decals and I can't remember where the figure came from.IMG_20210101_141703547_2.thumb.jpg.43f528e3bccf0e3608e5920c994f9b6e.jpgIMG_20210101_141632669_2.thumb.jpg.b2087a439c1f3bed938d8653eef3e4d0.jpgIMG_20210101_141833475_2.thumb.jpg.eb36417cecce6d087e518ddd072fdcf8.jpgIMG_20210101_141632669_2.thumb.jpg.b2087a439c1f3bed938d8653eef3e4d0.jpg

That’s awesome.

 I’m a fan of the movie and the cars of the 80’s and 90’s Trans Am series. The combination totally works.

Thank you. I always thought the livery would look great on a Camaro considering how good it looked on a Lumina and a Grand Prix. I have always thought TA was a very underrated series to boot. So instead of just building another Hot Wheels, Rain X or Sunoco car, why not.
