The photo you posted is not the team race hauler, that is the souvenir hauler that is owned and operated by a 3rd party .

The 1998 hauler is probably going to very similar to the 1997 hauler which ...

Here are a lot reference photos Ive been collecting.

Couple of options if you havent already figured something out by now.

1. Do not use/remove the cross bar , part # E33, once the entire airbox/snorkel piece is in place you really can't see it.
...

Its camber , it supposed to be that way, I think it might be bit too much though, I adjusted it on the ones I built too.

From Salvino's, the Truex is going to be all decals

Glad to see they finally put a dash plate in the Ford kits. Got sick of making my own.

The dash is going to be in all the 2023 kits minus the Chase & Larson kits, so all makes will get it.

Mike’s has the Logano 2022 champ kits showing as in stock and shipping Very Happy

Mine got shipped today Very Happy

Awesome, nice to see some new "goodies" sheets if you will getting done.

Here's a better view of the camera locations. The front camera should be closer to the center (right side of windshield cutout when viewed from the front). Since the decals now have the cutout, we'r ...

Love the Yellow Freight schemes , nice!

The concerning thing is both listings on Salvino's says they are going to be limited to 1500 each.

That is concerning. I don't want to buy those decals till I have the kit in my hands. 1500 sounds ...

Hope power slide decals will be made for Blaney. Hopefully for his 2023 Daytona 500 winner.

There ya go

FWIW, I just got a shipping notice for mine from Southern Motorsports Hobbies, I ordered it on the 30th of Dec, less than 24 hours, the listing was gone from the website.

I sent Ronnie an email ...

Southern Motorsports Hobbies has them

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered one.

There are what I understand, 3 more versions( drivers) coming, and from it sounds like, each run of the kit ...

JGR and Penske will be the teams.

Not my best work here, the decals really just kicked my ass, more so on the #24, I had just had horrible luck. The windshield from the #24 kit did not get correctly formed , I didnt catch till after ...

Every NG kit that I've built have had zero issues with window fit and I apply decals once installed into body.

All the NG kits Ive built( 8 thus far) the side(b-pillar) windows need sanding to fit ...

Yep, its too short, I cut it in half and just attach it to the transaxle side

I've had some fit issues with the front window on a couple of Next Gen kits. It's like the window isn't curved correctly or it's warped and one of the corners sticks way up. Has anyone else dealt with ...

ooh I might have to get this one, for some reason I like the Allegiant Air schemes

For the kits, there is difference between the nose of the kits, they are not the same between 90's GP kit and the Profinish/ 2000's GP kit. And like Billy mentioned, the side quarter windows are als ...

It has to do with the charter system in NASCAR. When charters became a thing it changed the purse structure and payouts for finishes. The contingency package went away so they stopped running the stic ...

I used TS 93(Pure blue) for both the 5/9, and using it for the 5 was a mistake I feel, even over white primer its just a tad to dark. I think TS 44( Brilliant Blue) over grey primer will probably be ...

Awesome work Joe, i like that you made the nose a different shade, something I wanted to do on mine but didnt really know the best way to about it, how did you do it?

Looking at online "unboxing" videos this new kit looks like a vast improvement from previous offerings where they just "mailed it in" form a design standpoint.
But Tamiya-like? Le ...

I can see myself getting the Tide sheet.

It sounds like the Mustangs will be coming at the end of the year.

I but this together in preparation for the new kit

The Roll out kit body is white, Chase is Blue, no one knows about the other HMS cars because they havent been released yet, but we can make an educated guess and say,
5 will be blue,
24 will be blac ...

Looks good, I might be down for the AJ sheet.

Thanks for the replies.
Were they using aluminum blocks in those cars?
The FR9 block is Graphite Iron casted

Can you guys elaborate on the "tight" ? you mean the fit of the parts are very tight and will need sanding to make them fit ?

Yes, but can they do a Toyota? Or is Toyota blocking it for some crazy reason?

They hope to have the contracts do the Fords and Toyota's later this year.

The above image is a render.

You will NOT be overloaded with Next Gen cars as KOTM. There is talk you will have choices. (to be clarified ASAP)

Yeah Pat, after I posted this I started looking it ...

Ive bought a few kits from Star Models, each time was flawless.

Look at the new Nextgen kit, up for pre order now.( It might be a 3D render)
