Will they be the same kit as when Monogram did them, or did they change or add anything. The body could have used a little tweaking.

How did you do the tire scuffing?
Awesome looking build so far.

Am I the only one who thinks we need a scale LMS stock car kit?
Maybe someone with a JR Salvino's connection could put a bug in their ear.

I saw two different angles of that crash, but all those unnecessary people running on the track were just asking for trouble.
The only one who should have gone were the track workers( Medics/Fire).

When I built mine a while back it had a rear splash pan. IIRC it took a little fitting to look good.

They also have a contract with Petty & Dodge to do so many kits.
(Same goes with Hendrick and Chevy.)

The "Bobby Allison" just may be a Typo.

Looks Awesome, Joe. You did a beautiful job on this one. So glad they are offering this kit. Hope a Mustang and Toyota are offered as well.

I saw some use TS-51, then TS-72 Clear to give it some depth.

Looking forward to seeing one of these done. I'd like to do one of each trackhouse cars that haven't been made into diecasts.

Finally it got it finished, mostly happy with how it turned out, added the interior fuel lines, the camera pods on the front nose/tail panel, wedge bolts, and added the "dash panels". Pain ...

I wonder if the machinist missed it, or it wasn't in the files that were sent to Jim?

It will probably not be until late 2023? (due to their contractual obligations.)

But Jim wants to fix the chassis as well< I'm not sure what Revell/Monogram missed on it.

Salvinos has only issued GM and Chrysler products.

Well that's interesting. Heck, you may be correct then. Thanks for the reply.

They are working with NASCAR Gibbs ,Toyota, just a matter of time ...

OK...I got a Elliott Camaro kit. Done nothing but look through it a few times. What I noted from looking:
Mine had some flash, did not seem like as much as some other posted. Molder may have gotten t ...

Thanks Pierre!

I have thought about clearing the body. Either future or Tamiya clear rattle can.

To answer your question, the entire kit is molded in clear. The only thing that is not are the ...

The color looks right for M&H race Master, just not the shape

Just a heads up the fit on these will be tight
So you will need extra patience. take you time. and make sure, these wont be a quick build,
I look forward to the challenge.

Any word on FORD's.......kinda had a good weekend! Laughing

Waiting for signatures most likely, but the way it sounds, the other manufacture May I Say May come first.

When you paint the inside of the windows, what is your process for gluing them into the body?

I tried that "Shoo-Goo", a couple of small dabs in the corners and it seems to work fine, dri ...

Many people, myself included, use Sharpies.

The only issue I have with sharpies is it pulls the first pass off?

I haven't used liquid masking on bodies, I paint with lacquer and they are not compatible. Thought I would mention that just in case you were doing the same.

How are they not compatible?

I saw this awhile back, gave me some ideas.
I added those locater pipes in the corner to a couple of builds I'm working on.

Molded in color body? No thank you. I really dislike molded in color bodies. They are such a pain. You're not making the hobby easier to get in to. You're just making it harder for the people already ...

Thanks for the info, but what I guess I really mean is if I would use the 2022 to build a 20 or 22 shelve build would it be really miles off, or close enough to pass? I googled them and i really don ...

Good old mod podge

Straight out of the bottle, or did you dilute it a bit?

Has anyone used those Model car garage Photo etched pieces for the Salvino's Chargers?

Along the line of wheels, a friend is looking for somewhere/someone who makes 9 hole wheels in 1/16 scale for the AMT NASCAR Pontiac.

I'd check eBay. Somebody was selling a bunch a few weeks ago. I did ask Salvinos (no response) about a month ago if they would sell about 12 sets of tires. I prefer theirs since there is no raised ...

Awesome build.
