Rich Chernosky Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Got the urge to finish something and find this lurking in the stash. Body was actually painted and decaled in 2009. Had to do the decals twice as the side decal was all one piece and it wrinkled badly. Stripped it down and painted the white on second time around. Cut the Hot Wheel graphics away and applied them seperately. Still has to clear coat the whole car which I don't usually do over decals. Color is Gunze HH15 airbrushed. Chassis on these Revell kits are quite detailed. Added engine wiring and a few other detail. Made the wheels poseable which is one of my pet peeves. This car was driven to two Trans Am championships in a row by Jack Baldwin in 1991-92. Lots of detail painting here, note the chrome exhaust pipe tip made from antenna tubing.The office where all the action takes place. Note the two small pins in each of the body lower corners. This is #28 guage wire drilled through the body into the chassis.This was necessary to keep the body on and keep it aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others I have are the Scott Sharp Rain-X and the Ron Fellows Sunoco. I just bought a 1/18 Diecast of the Fellows car and they will look nice together.

Phildaupho Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Great Looking model. I really like all eras of the Trans-Am series. Would be very interesting to see an evolutions of Trans Am Camaros over the last 50+ years. It seems like after a number of lack lustre seasons, the series is really doing well again.
