Just got hold of Tamiya TS43 racing green, I think this will be pretty darn close. Pretty good match for the Mikes Decals Kodiak sheet, thanks again for all your help.

Thanks everyone, the latest pictures tell the story. I ordered a couple different shades of tamiya green off ebay (as all our local hobby shops are closed).
They should be at my house when I get hom ...

Many thanks guys, this will help!

thanks guys, I appreciate your help

I've searched the web quite a bit, and cannot come up with a clear picture of the 1987 Kodiak 2+2 Rusty won the Riverside race with. I'm trying to see what color the inside was. By what I've seen it ...

Vernon, if you will scroll down to the last pic in this link, it is a pic of the rear of the Kar-Kare rig.

Thanks....I never ...

Well...I'll be getting at least 4 for sure. I'll add them to my #16 Mustang modified I built back in 06...wow...time sure has flown by.

Got this email today from Jim Rogers at Salvino's....

Apologies for this being a form letter, but I’ve got about 50 emails to reply to about the modified I’m designing, and the response has been ...

Vernon, I think Jr used this rig or one like it til the Holly Farm sponsorship at which time he used a truck very similar to this one and a small (short) enclosed trailer instead of the open one. He u ...

Anyone have any pictures of of the hauler Junior Johnson used in the early to mid seventies. I remember it being a Chevrolet cab over with a box, the car was towed on a trailer. Can't remember the p ...

I like it, first of all what color blue did you use, second how were the decals. On a kit this old I was amazed the decals were still good.

Thanks John...That was the same problem I had with the first DE car I did.
The red just didn't look right. I was around that car hundred's of times back in the day, but that was many, many moons ago ...

What is everyone using for Earnhardt's Goodwrench interior red. It seems to me it was Chevrolet engine red, but that was a long time ago.
Thanks

Revell is now owned by a German investment bank. The fact that we saw tons of NASCAR kits at Ollies for under $10 makes it look unlikely. The folks that got the last kits done are no longer at Revell. ...

just curious....any word on whether Revell will continue with the new nascar kits?

Sf, another option that is about the same shade of blue as the Arctic but maybe a little "brighter" is the Testor's Enamel spray #1639-Custom Blue Metal Flake. Unlike the Arctic Blue this n ...

Yep, forgot to ask if you had the McCreary decals for the gumballs he qualified and started the race on. They weren't good but for 10-15 laps but real good til then:)

John

Yep, I got them from M ...

I know the Testor's line isn't the fan favorite here but the Model Master Arctic Blue metallic sprayed over gray primer looks really close. I was testing a couple of blues last week to do the Owens/Ha ...

Looking for suggestions on the color blue J.D. McDuffie used on his late seventies Monte Carlo's. I'm doing the car he sat on the pole with at Dover Downs in September 1978.

Cool Builds!!!!

Didn't build that many of the Tom Daniels' designed kits. but this van one of them, but like so many builds that I built in the '70's dud not survive the various "purges ...

Thanks for starting thing this post. Our local model club will hold our annual contest on November 2nd. in Norfolk, Va. (facebook Tidewater Automotive modelers Society). Ok, I got a plug in for our ...

thanks for all the tips, this will help

Any suggestions on a model paint close to Ford poppy red (such as the AJ Foyt cars)

What color was the interior of the car
thx

Black

Coming November 2, 2019. The twenty-seventh annual Tidewater Automotive Modelers Society (TAMS) model contest and swap meet.
See our facebook page for all the details. This years theme will be Tom ...

Just saw this on Mikes Decals: J.D. McDuffie#70, 1977 Monte Carlo decals coming soon!! This is a must have set for me, as I was always a fan of J.D..
Actually I love all the new decals coming out. ...

I'd look at the MPC short track kits. Cuda, Mustang, Camaro....easier to kind is Monte Carlo and GTO.

Dave...Looking at the lower front this car appears to have a stock Camaro sub frame. back in t ...

Nice work, Tema. Look forward to more of your models.
Vernon

Wouldn't it be nice if the investment company that bought Revell would start reading this forum and communicate with all the modelers.
It would be nice to know what their plans are, and put our minds ...

I've tried everything I can think of to remove the chrome in this kit.
I started with good old Easy Off (used this for years), then brake fluid, then the purple stuff. Finally tried bleach and still ...

What a shame, One of my all time favorite manufactures.
I've been a little nervous about this as there has been no communication from the new company that bought Revell.
You would think if they want ...

Has anyone heard any updates on Revell's future since being sold?

Nice build, always one of my favorite Kyle cars

I think Dave summed this kit up perfect. After building a mock up chassis the rear end seems to sit just a tick on the high side, but have some easy fix ideas I'll share with everyone later. However ...

I have built 2 of those and used the monogram Buick. My memory is not great but it seems I used the windshield from the Buick kits and made the rear windows from my junk glass parts.

The Buick gl ...

First off the line will be Buddy Baker, next will be Richard Petty. Both of these will be the Daytona 500 wins.
Then on to A.J. Foyt, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Dave Marcis, Tighe Scott and mo ...

Looking for the new camaro nascar body resin. Anyone know were to buy from?

Check with SMH hobbies, they have them back in stock

I haven't seen one of these in years! I have about six of them I bought back in the mid eighties.
They are a resin type material and were made to paint to match the race car. They have outlines of ...

Try roncoon.com or bigdonkeyresin.com. Both do excellent work and are great to deal with.

revell/monogram hands down

Agree 100 percent

Does the hood fit better than the photo shows or do we need to sand etc?
thanks
Bill

Bill...I think scooter just laid the hood on the body for show. The Camry kit I have fits pretty good, but wi ...

Thanks for the post scooter, keep us posted on this project

will do...(of course i am going in a couple of different directions on the schemes...so it may be down the road a bit.)

thanks for all ...

Thanks for the post scooter, keep us posted on this project

I agree with Pat, Martin Truex, PLEASE!

Thanks Pat and Mark for the kind words.
Vernon

Sorry about the hood. I did a lot of google searches on the NASCAR Camaro when I was working on the master. Out of all the pictures out there, I could not find a enough pictures of the hood, so I we ...

Ok guys, Keep your eyes on SMH Hobbies (smhracing.com) for the arrival of this body. I know the caster is working on things right now and will have ready in the very near future. Not sure of the dat ...
