Bobby Allison's Miller Buick

[Csaba aka felhasznaaloo]

I recommend this Monogram kit. Very nicely molded. I gave away the driver figure to a friend...?

Great job on them both!  That Miller Buick may be my favorite livery of all the years I've been following NASCAR (since 1979).

Excellent job on that one.

Beat his son Davey at the Daytona 500 with that car, then almost lost his life later that year in it

[Nacho Z]

Very nice, very nice indeed!

[Csaba aka felhasznaaloo]

Thank you so much?

[ChrisR]

Very nice!

[MarkJ]

Great job on this, and I like the wear and tear damage you added that is not over the top, but adds realism. 

[slusher]

Great build!

[Pierre Rivard]

Absolutely beautiful build. The stance is perfect and the finishes so beautiful. Just a touch of weathering...yes perfect!

[D.Pack]

That #12 is excellent.

And it's weathering,what references are you using?

If I search for 'dirty/weathered nascars,' my results are the Bristol dirt race or Nascar's dirtiest drivers!

Thank you.

I was just watching some of the '83-ish NASCAR races on youtube, took a few screenshots of pit stops. Also, if you watch the 1971(?) movie Le Mans with Steve McQueen, there are some nice close up shots of the cars. Youtube has clips. Being a longer race, not NASCAR-level dirt of course, but gave me the idea to add some dirt/grime here as well.

Very nice build!  Great photography too!

[Dragonhawk1066]

Excellent work! That's still one of the best schemes ever.

I don't generally look at NASCAR models but since I was a huge Bobby and Davey Allison fan I had to looks at your build.

Wow, the model is outstanding and oh so realistic looking in the pictures.

Beautiful work Csaba??

Great looking Bobby Allison combo!!

Such a nice build! I have that kit and would like to stack it but a bit afraid of the old decals. Any tips?

Thank you. Decals cooperated nicely.

The hood decal overlaps to the cowl panel and fender tops, prepare for that.

The rear fenders, trunk top and rear panel need to be painted white and the edge of that white area needs to be aligned with the green stripe decals, so that requires some careful planning (sorry if I'm explainig the obvious here).

The #12 decals I found too tall, so I sectioned them.

Two delicious drinks and 2 great looking models! Have always loved the '88 Miller scheme.
