DOT #51 Mello Yellow Lumina

[martinfan5]

I always wanted to build all the Days Of Thunder movie cars since the kits were released, but I only ever managed to build the #46 City Chevy , its one of my favorite paint schemes (even if fake) .

Last year at the swap meet we have here, I bought two of the DOT kits, well now its time to start building them .

So using the #51 Mello Yellow kit, I am going to use a set of Power Slide decals instead of the kit decals. So far , not much is done, the entire kit has been primered (molded in black), and the chrome striped

Here is the Powerslide decal sheet

Great idea. If I had the room I always thought a small diorama of DOT would be cool.

Started painting the body, doing the green first, using Tamyia light green

The Powerslide decal sheet I am going to use came today, and I picked up the chassis gray spray paint

Here is the chassis and part of the roll cage painted

Painted the roll bar padding, the rear axle is done and ready to go on, and the chassis

And got the black on the body, dont whats going on, but I have been having issues with painting, I think it has something to do with the primer. I will be sanding and doing one more wet coat
