Testors/Monogram Grand Prix Dirt Devil

Bought this kit on Ebay, early this year , no box, sent in plastic bag with 2 sets of decals , one which was Kenny Wallace # 40 Dirt Devil car

I have been watching Kenny's You Tube channel for a while , very interesting life , very entertaining

Bumper areas seams front and rear were putty filled and sanded  , rear over flow added, engine wired for spark plugs and seat belts added to interior.

Car was primed with Mr Surfacer 1000,  sprayed with Tamiya LP1 black  , some orange peel , sanded smooth and, sprayed,bottom with Tamiya  LP7 red .

Decals were added , they were very old and funk but came out OK

Finished with Tamiya LP9 clear gloss , which came out very smooth ,no sanding or polishing

Thanks for looking

Really cool! I love those period Nascars...

Nice.  It looks like the decals turned out fine.  Those 90s decals seem to be all or nothing.  I have one in the stash too.  Some day...
