That 2085, if helps it's listed also for the Kellogg's, Lowes and Bojangles.

It looks great.
I like the detail in the lower grille and the rear quarter extensions.

Thanks to all.
It's great to finally get this out my workspace. But I did learn something with double decals.

The roof decals I do different, clearcoat between the two and no final clear finish. I ...

From 1999, the Primestar Taurus with driver Kevin Lepage.

The T-Birds, I know they were officially slabside in 96 and have seen also on the mail slot 94/95's.

But this image I've poached, of a 93.

I also have this sheet.

But only noticed the 'bright yellow' on the paint guide after buying the Tamiya camel shade. I have some rattlecan signal yellow that should work.

What if to use this nose on a fantasy build? That grille remained up until 1996, so a slabside Cup car too.

I have seen online a slab Regal, was a re-body for road racing.

After sawing and start to pull out the body, look at the rear arch area.

Be sure not to make the joint area too concave. More dish will need more putty.

And the two joins. Am now putting a full ...

What are some of the other buicks that ran this style nose? so far all I can find are the Quaker State, Raybestos, and Snickers. Looking for other options. I know Davey Allison did a Busch car with it ...

Some update pics of the 96 body. Gloss white, ready for a 2nd colour or decal. Not sure yet.

Not my car, but this builder has done a great job of that fade.

And just noticed that the front bumper is not horizontal to the ground. Will have to fix that when I start mine.

Those Petron cars are smart looking.

And the Raybestos car. For a door decal, the side colours could fade to clear around 'Raybestos'. Include the red/white forward striping too.

I now have this ...

You can sand the bodyshell from inside?

A thinner guage plastic would deform quicker.

If you burn through, you could repair from the inside and perhaps the dent atea edges would look sharper to ...

And this. Not an unusual scheme, Slixx has it. But it is bright and looks great.More like a drag car.https://i.postimg.cc/qRj4j5mZ/mqdefault.jpg

Have just recently bought a dozen T-Bird kits, one being AMT's Raybestos.
Always liked this kit but I know it's painting will be a challenge. Using TS sprays for a paint fade? Yikes.

First to say, these are not my builds. On eBay I buy them from a Nascar modeller and Barrett fan.

Nice work! What year are you aiming for? Looks like your rear bumper is worked in perfectly smooth too.

To be a 94 and definitely using Powerslide. So an Earnhardt or Waltrip.

And the rear bum ...

So, wet sanding finished and a quick fault finder prime coat.

Hey all.

I think that scheme deserves to be posted, the red and white car.

An excellent looking build. So much work in there.

Stunning. What a build, wow.👍

That #6 is a great choice and I wonder on which other 90's T-Bird schemes he may consider. The #21 Citgo perhaps or the even earlier Zerex.

And the Hot Wheels, I'll buy. Good to have a Carto' print ...

Depends on the track and team. I have seen them both on and off. If you leave it on, notch out an opening for the jack similar to the exhaust opening.
Fill in the character line on each door.

Hi all.

Am prepping 89 and 90 T Birds for some Havoline builds.

An update.

Have slabbed a 95 and a 97.

A great looking build and detail. And love that off white shade.

Looks excellent.
And great to see these resin only decal sheets being built.

As it's too cold to spray gloss paint, I began this slabside conversion, but using the Monte Carlo body method.

Great stance and I like the extra rails too.

That's a great looking build.👍

With pure luck I find this 2023 vid of the Sunoco Olds Labonte car. That blue is a great colour.

Interstate Battery Green.

It's the #18, so I think the green colour the team use already.

Jayski has this 2015 car pictured above the Interstate car.

Perhaps bighoo will reply here sometime with his Tamiya codes.

What I mean is the TS Red used on those cars.

A TropArctic is in the Showroom with TS Red, but no number is given. And a Zerex too by the same builder.

Thanks. I was considering this too.

The blue on the decals, such a small amount to bother about a perfect 'purple tint' colour match.

MCW 2026.

It's listed also for the old #66 TropArctic, the Kulwicki #7 Zerex and the T-Bird & Taurus Quality Care's.

Someone here already painted these cars?

IMHO the Monogram OLDS is much more correct. The C pillar had the glass wrap over most of it with a thin metal between the side and rear glass.....which most often was black to blend in with the glass ...

MCW paints, they list a 2085 Lemon Yellow. For airbrush. No year is given, so assume the 80's car.

Also list the 2085 for use on the Kelloggs cars of all years.

Above, a Lumina and here, the Buick too.

Painting of 1.1 cars will have the same problem too. Can ask on their forums?

Also, on the Modelcarsmagazine forum there are 1.1 painters that can help.

Yowzah. That is gorgeous.

This link, great fitting info for these Taurus kits. Wheel track, cages and all sorts

Also, the roof flaps sit a little higher than the actual roof, so ...

A few places to adjust.

The roll cage, file down its front corners. Trim back the dash and maybe trim the engine bay bars.
