I understand some of the kits will have the body already molded in a color other than normal white. Would someone tell me body color of the 5, 9, 24, 48 and the RollOut cars?
Thanks

Here is an unboxing and build of one of the #9 kits.

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 black,
and the 48 white.

I agree with the educated guesses for the Hendrick mold colors.

I really appreciate the white, silver, and black sprues for the chassis, hopefully they will continue into the Ford and Toyota kits. IMHO, the GM chassis parts could easily be used in the other manufacturers except for specific parts such as under hood ducting and valve covers.

The educated guesses above are quite accurate for the colors stated.

Little disappointed about the colored bodies, but just me liking the white bodies. Crying or Very sad

Mike's decals will be doing blank white bagged "donor" kits of the 2022 NextGen Chevy Camaro for around $29.00 each. He made the announcement a couple of months ago in an e-mail to all who had placed a pre-order of the "rollout" car from him. If I had to guess, probably late May/early June for those after Salvino's gets caught up on the Hendrick cars.

I have never minded a molded body color as long as it's going to be painted a similar color. For me, it makes for a better painted body.

Now I understand if you were to build and paint a different car it might make things more difficult. That's where the generic molded in white kits come in handy.

They are doing the molded in color bodies to make it easier for folks who aren't that great at doing multiple color paint jobs on kits to build the kits. And these kits(next Gen) will be sold trackside in the souvenir trailers. They need to appeal to every builder of every skill level. Yes it would be easier to mold in one color, but getting new modelers in the hobby is always a good thing.

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 the tool tuned better on mine.

I do not like the color bodies....just me.

The sink marks in each door where the supply gate is (inside) causes a ugly sink on outside of door on mine.

Are parts G16 & G19 missing on all kits???? Following the logic of the parts tree it looks like those parts would be the exhaust from the headers to side dump location. At first I thought they fell off the tree......but it looks like Salvinos blocked them off. Did the exhaust extensions not fit??? Or??

Can't tell much more untill I start the kit.....and that may not be soon.
Thanks

Some of the detail that's only seen on the underside of the roof was engraved on the top of the roof. The small hatch on the right shouldn't be there as well as the groove that runs thru the right roof flap and the grooves between the flaps should be filled and the drivers side roof rail needs to be lengthened.

I haven’t posted in along time, but life does that. I painted my Chase kit with white primer and saw zero blue bleed thru. This is from the pigment and not being a dye. This is modeling guys. If you want something that takes zero work, I guess you can buy a diecast. By the way, there probably will not be any this year. If this had been Revell, we wouldn’t have anything. Also anyone remember how many things were missing from the Gen 6 kits from Revell? A bunch of stuff and they are just okay.

I am enjoying my kits and will build them as I can because I am not a speed builder and having 3 kids takes my priorities that direction. Thankfully my 14 year old is getting into model building, so that affords me some more modeling time now. He is younger and he loves the kits and is just happy he can build his favorite driver in the #9 car. Oh how I miss the innocence of being young and not being old and crochety like we have become.

See you in another few months! Happy building! Enjoy these New NASCAR kits that some said we would never have!
