Tony Stewart CoT IMPALA 2011

[gami8630]

I modified AMT's "Snapit" kit "NASCAR 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA" to create Tony Stewart's Office Depot IMPALA that competed in the 2011 Cup Series.

Since this kit is a snap kit, the engine, roll cage, and interior are simplified, so I used evergreen rods, parts from AMT and MONOGRAM's nascar kit, and other parts to add details.

Wheels and tires are also from REVELL's Snaptite kit.

The front nose splitter is replaced with a resin air dam type.

The decals are powerslides. It was a little difficult to paint the body red and black to match the decals, but it turned out okay.
Please note that this detailing was not done to faithfully reproduce the actual car, but to increase my own satisfaction when I look at this kit.

Great rendition!  Your added details really make a difference.

Great looking build!  I lost interest in Nascar during this time and with very few model kits available from that period these cars are still a bit of a mystery to me.  This is an outstanding model!

Nice build of a very memorable car. I bet seeing this car must be the stuff of nightmares for poor Carl Edwards. Or his fans. Amazing finale at Homestead.

I remember well the dramatic final game in Miami.

Two people lined up at the same point, but the rules made a clear difference.
