caine440 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hello New here, and was wondering if anyone offers decals to match the Daytona, Avenger, or Stratus that Darrell Alderman drove before his retirement. I made a Daytona and fudged the decals from a Bob Glidden kit to try and make it look right. I am currently working on a Landy 1972 Challenger, Motown Missile 72 Cuda and a 72 Sox & Martin Duster and have had no trouble finding decals for these kits. Thanks!

1320wayne Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you want to replicate any one of Alderman's rides you will have to get creative. Here are some pics. of his black and white Daytona from the early 90's that I did using mainly decals from different Slixx sheets. I used decals from a "Mr 5 and 50 Super Stock" Slixx sheet for the rainbow stripes, a "Gene Snow top fuel" sheet from Slixx for the Mopar markings and then any assorted sheets that would supply any other sponsor markings. The paint scheme is simply a matter of masking and painting the two colors. If you want to update it to a later version with the red, yellow and blue splash graphics then Slixx has you covered with that as well with a generic graphics sheet. Or you can go with their modern Mopar camo scheme decals and only use the Mopar markings and combine that with their generic graphics sheet that has the barb wire to complete an early 2000's Stratus. Hope this helps with your decision making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caine440 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I ended up using a chassis from a revell pro street Beretta for the one I have. May I ask what you used ? I really like the look of it. Caine 440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The original build for this one was done back in the early 90's and the only useable chassis back then were any of the older Monogram pro stock kits. That is what was used and the wheelbase was shortened to meet the body. Although, the body should have been lengthened just a bit up front, just behind the front wheelwell.
