rmvw guy Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 This represents the third place car of Raul Bosel, The Dominos Pizza Hot One. Al Unser Jr. all most won the race when on the 199th lap of 200, I believe, Emerison Fittipaulti passed him in the third turn going down on the grass (a no no today), then crashing Little Al. In my opinion , Bosel would have been declaired the winner by today's rules , even though he was in third down a lap because, Emerison would have been penalised one lap. My Wife and I witnessed the race from the third turn grandstand where the action between Little Al and Emerison could be seen first hand. Model is box stock with engine wires. The three tone paint is not an easy one with the contours. I built it for a red, white and blue theme. I think these AMT Indy kit are often over looked and easy to find at swap meets for as little as $5. It was a fun build for me. Thanks for looking.
bbowser Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Nice job on a less than stellar kit. I've built a couple and they do NOT just fall together. Nice weathering, is it carbon fiber decals on the bottom?
Pat Minarick Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Nice build ! Never had one of these ,might have to try one!

Scuderia Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Tht's pretty cool. Reminds me of the 'Noid commercials from Domino's back in the day too lol. But yeah nice build looks great. And I like the Cosworth power
Harry P. Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 It's nice to see a model that's a little out of the ordinary "Under Glass!"
rmvw guy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) It's nice to see a model that's a little out of the ordinary "Under Glass!" ......Thanks Harry, I really didn't think any one would even look at this one when I posted due to the unpopularity of Indy car right now. The last one I purchased was $1 at a swap meet, the Cummins March 86c. When AMT released these kits at a model car show in Indy I bought them all with plans to build a diorama. This was in 1989. So far I have built two. LOL Edited July 2, 2012 by rmvw guy
rmvw guy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 Here is the rest of them with the two already built; ( I may have sold one or two I really can't remember.)
rmvw guy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Posted July 2, 2012 .....Here is a picture of my son with the AMT Indy car model introduction in 1989, he will be 31 in about one week.
Fat Brian Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I recently picked up two Monogram Indy cars of about the same vintage a they were very cheap. I had built one when they were fairly new and I wanted another crack at one.

I built the STP car and my son built the Raynord Garage Door car and I think I still have the Valvoline car . It was fun watching him build his, it was red and silver with no sponsors. At the end he said, "Here Dad you can have the decals." I offered to apply them for him but, he said, "That's alright you can have them." I miss those days.
