Restored Davey Allison 1/24th--1/7 Update better pics

[Rdkingjay]

This is the Revell 1/24th Davey Allison diecast from 1992. It is packaged with contingency decals to make a '91,'92, or '93 version. For the most part, it appears to be intended as a childs toy. The body contours are off a bit and it lacks significant detail, compared to the adult collectible level cars. My wife brought it home to me from a yard sale and clearly, it had been thoroughly played with by some youngster and it showed it. The first two pics are the before shots. I stripped it down and repainted with Dupont black. I added powerslide decals, as well as detail decals. All covered in Dupont clear and polished to a high shine. I added nine bars to the roll cage and added some color and detail to the interior and engine. Thanks for looking

Super smooth paint, you really brought that Thunderbird back to life! That's awesome that your wife found it for you, I wish my wife would do that for me.
