bogger44 Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Here's my latest completion, nowhere near my best work but here it is. The biggest challenge was the 30+ year old decals, a handful of them wouldn't cooperate and iron out even with loads of setting solution and work. I probably should have looked around online for an aftermarket set instead of continuing to fight through them but oh well I can live with it the way it is. I sprayed on some clear to protect & seal them in and that didn't come out the best either. I did some polishing to it, but not a lot as by this point I just wanted to finish it and get it off the bench. She's 100% out of the box, no mods/additions anywhere. Duplicolor Polar White, Cardinal Red, and Tamiya TS-15 Blue are the colors. Even with the frustrations I encountered I'm still fairly happy with it. Edit...I just realized I forgot to paint the fuel filler cap, will get that done.
bogger44 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Posted October 6, 2021 Thanks guys. It's not my proudest work by any means but good enough to go into a display case and onto the shelving with all the others.
slusher Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Great build Tony, your really a good builder on these stubborn NASCAR kits. Next one I have too deal with your getting a PM. I enjoy seeing your work brother…
Hans1971 Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 In Europe, we're not familiar with Nascar. Sadly enough, looking at your model... Also the garden in the background looks good !?

1320wayne Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Very nice. Sits right and this car always looked better with black wheels than the chrome ones on the box art.
Mattilacken Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Great build! Digging the second pic extra much!
bogger44 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Posted December 7, 2021 Thanks again for the nice words guys.
jjsipes Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I remember building that years ago when the kit came out. I was what 10-12 yrs old at the time. Didn't look that good. have been thinking about building another one but just can't stop thinking about the old kit decals and what they might be like. Yours looks great.
Mike Stem Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 That looks really good! Neil would be proud.
