Are there any DERRIKE COPE over the door names in white out there?

Upcoming project.

This thread can only go downhill, and I donâ€™t think any of the mods want to babysit it over Christmas, so Iâ€™m locking it now.

I bought a new bottle of Future a couple of years ago and it has cracked every time Iâ€™ve used it over Tamiya acrylics. Iâ€™ve tried both airbrushing and brush painting it and the results look like y ...

They wonâ€™t tear, but the yellowed glue will show once theyâ€™re on the car. Fortunately itâ€™s a yellow car, so it wonâ€™t be as noticeable. Some people have had luck putting them up to a window to ...

Someone correct me if Iâ€™m mistaken, but I believe the Allison kit pictured is the AMT version with the stockish frame and not the MPC â€œone size fits allâ€ chassis. The roll cage in the AMT kit is ...

Incredible work! Do you happen to have any of the noses for sale?

I have a spare that was sent to me by a generous member here. Iâ€™d be happy to pay it forward. Just PM me your address!

Nice work. Youâ€™re really cranking out those Pontiacs!

On his Saturday morning show, Jim said that youâ€™ll have to make sure the roll cage pieces are aligned properly for the body to fit over them. The test shots look really good, so Iâ€™m optimistic tha ...

May be a prototype version of the scheme as the car always raced with blue numbers in a different font.

Great build and love your videos!

Ok, thatâ€™s the slab side. Unfortunately I donâ€™t have those parts. Mine are for the other version of that car that curls under at the bottom of the doors.

Hopefully someone else will be able to ...

Do you need them for a curl side or slab side body?

The trackside kits will sell. I buy several diecast cars per year, and the cheapest ones are $65 for cars that arenâ€™t as nice as the first Revell Gen 6 snap kits. By eliminating the need to buy any ...

Is the Johan 442 still available?

Yes! Iâ€™m jealous of your collection - I have about half of those. The modeling tips are great, and they had lots of pictures of seldom-seen Cup and BGN cars. In the pre-internet days, those were a ...

Thanks for the great info m2joe, and Iâ€™ll keep you in mind MPR. I appreciate it guys!

Hi guys, I just picked up my first Starter resin kit and I have a couple of questions:

First, do you have to soak it to remove mold release? I have some Westleyâ€™s but Iâ€™ve read the new formula ...

Great start! I really like the AMT kits. The Pontiac body is dead on and the chassis has great detail.

Im pretty sure Lobographix does a set, though they don’t have any listed right now. I’d email them to check. Lobo43decals@yahoo.com.

I’ve been critical of them in the past but it looks like they nailed it with this one! I don’t have one yet (waiting for the 71 from Mike’s) but I’m getting pretty anxious!

This is the most excited I’ve been about one of their offerings since the Olds was first announced. I’m in for at least one of each version.

Hello, I’m looking for a set of Blue Ridge #72 Detroit Gasket decals for Tracy Leslie. They used to be everywhere, but now they seem to have dried up. Any help is appreciated!

They will also be doing the GEN7 car that will debut in 2022. They are hoping that will be released in Dec. of this year or Jan. 2022...

Good to hear! My initial concern was that they were priori ...

It is possible to be excited about this kit while still questioning the timing. People will undoubtedly buy a gen 6 car (proven by the value of the Revell kits), but I believe it will quickly fall int ...

Outstanding! I really like your extra detail on the seat padding.

Even as a life - long Pepsi Drinker -- I WANT A PAIR OF THOSE COKE PANTS !

You just so happen to be in luck! They’re sleep pants, but I must admit to owning a pair...

Looks great! What did you use to make the asbestos mat?

Thanks guys!

I’m excited to have these kits coming back. Even the 00s Model King reissues are prohibitively expensive, so I think it will be a good seller. Hopefully they release it with an inspired decal sheet! I ...

Title pretty much says it all. What size braided line do you guys use to replicate oil lines?

I have numbers 1, 2, and 3 from detail master, but they’re all too small. I’m thinking it will be numbe ...

I’m going to lock this one. I feel like all sides have had a fair say and there’s nowhere for this to go but down.

This car? Mike’s Decals has them listed as coming soon.

Make your feelings known, then go out and buy a better kit.

Isn’t it possible to make our feelings known, then work with the kits we have? That’s what I see in the threads. I won’t speak for other ...

Don't think he questioned your "right". I think his point is the people who have griped from the beginning of all things "Salvinos" will do the same about the Charger.

If you r ...

Mark my word as soon if not sooner when the Charger kits come out the same ones aren't going to like them and pick them apart like a buzzard on a gut wagon.

I reserve the right to like or not like ...

I just got mine yesterday. I’ve been critical of them in the past, but I agree there have been some great builds posted lately, so I decided to give it a go.

My major concern with this one has been ...

As others pointed out, Mark DNQ’d the Ford, so they bought Dale Jarrett’s Chevy for the race. Presumably because Winn Dixie was such a high profile sponsor. I guess Roush is still listed as the owner ...

Great idea! Poking around the spice cabinet it looks like we have some garlic powder that will be perfect. It’s a little pungent, but maybe sprinkled and sealed with flat clear it won’t be noticeable. ...

I have considered real sand but I’m afraid it will be out of scale. I’ve had good success with real dirt by putting it into a ziploc bag and hitting it with a rubber mallet to make a fine powder befor ...

Yes, I was looking to put sand on the car, though putting the car on sand could be a fun and simple diorama idea. I’ll look into the MiG and embossing powder. Thanks guys!

I’m currently on Gober Sosebee’s Sportsman car that raced on Daytona Beach. My goal is to slightly weather it as raced. I’m having satisfactory results misting silver acrylic craft paint followed by a ...

Thanks for the tip! I got as far as cutting the rear clip off of mine before my enthusiasm ran out. I may need to pick it up again!

What a nice kit that would have been!

The NY Post is a tabloid that used an uncited source. I would argue that this is more credible information:

Beautiful job! This one is on my list at some point.

So I need to take issue with this a bit.

I have been on this board for a long, long, long time. I've built well over 100 NASCAR models and have contributed quite a bit to the community here an ...

Not on anybody's payroll, I have enough stress in life and i have always built models for fun and am thankful somebody is putting new stuff out there to build and i guess i am a cup half full type of ...
