Captain Spaulding Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Decided on my next build, using Salvinos Jr 1971 Dodge Charger kit and some extra decal sheets from my spares gonna build a fictional Pepsi Charger. Have a few decal sheets from Mike's decals so gonna combine them with some others and see what I come up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too spectacular, just some detailing and trying to figure out the right decal combination to make it stand out. 4 hours ago, Vietnam Vet67 said: Pepsi was Richard Petty's very first corporate sponsor in 1971. That's cool, never realized that Pepsi once sponsored the king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I see, they have a lot of sponsor decals that could be used in addition to your Pepsi livery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna put a few on besides the Pepsi one's, just have to look online and see what year the companies I've picked out were created.

Captain Spaulding Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 After a crazy 7 months involving a move to a new home, a new job and a full size project car taking up my time I'm finally caught up and planning on resuming work on the Charger. Need to dig it back out of the box, blow the dust off it and get back at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a Petty car driven by Baker. I don't have the correct colors, but going with something close enough. The kit is great, a lot different from the old monogram NASCAR kits I was doing 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a well done kit and so many extras included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
