#3 The Intimidator

[BIGTRUCK]

I dont usually do Nascar builds but Dales #3 was a car I always liked. I have 2 builds going at once and this one so far I'm enjoying more than I thought I would. The car was molded in black so I primered the entire kit. Most of the kit needed to be red, the body I shot in black and the other colors I used on some things is silver and aluminum. So far everything is fitting pretty good but the roll cage in the directions pics are kind of vague such as placement of some bar shapes. I was a little stuck on one called a "Petty bar" but finally got it. Nascar guys probably got thjs stuff down to a science but this type of build is a little different. The drive that came with this kit does not fit well even with the seat mods the directions tell you to do, his feet hit the pedals but he wont nestle down into the seat, so ole Dale will get a leg trim this time around.

Looking good so far. I like when they include a driver in kits but they rarely fit right without some modifications.

Looks fantastic ! Like you, I'm not really a NASCAR fan (especially since they quit using real cars). I do have quite a few kits though (even won a Salvinos kit at a show recently), so I may have to try my hand at building one or two.
