Thanks. I thought there was another run of sprint car kits.
So impossible to find them available now...
I can live with it, glancing at it... it looks like a sprint car. LOL. |

Nice work.
Building this car currently. Curious, what kit did you use?
Looks like one of the older 1988 era sprint kits...?
I'm using the Pennzoil kit from 1995....

I've seen versions of this done in light and medium blues.
The pics of the actual car on the web are deceiving.
Anyone know the correct "Blue" to use on this car?
Thanks.
