Belugawrx Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Built this up from the Scott Sharp Rain-X Camaro kit...no real problems with the kit...the decals were pooched, so had a little fun with it. Oh ya, I had to grind about a 1/4" off the front of the dash where it meets the inside of the window Decals camre from Mike's decals.com and are Ace Decals, There are enough on the sheet to do another,...maybe an actual '66 Chevelle next time? Line O tape supplied the 1/32" red pin stripe tape, but I have some 1/64" on it's way,... so I may replace For some reason my Tamiya flat gloss XF 86 dried semi gloss on the tire sidewalls...hmm Primer and paints, Duplicolor, cleared with Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear ALC 600 Always loved the colour combo on his cars.. Cheers Oops ....admins if you feel the need to move me to NASCAR ...thats cool Edited January 13, 2020 by Belugawrx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are, but officials know all the tricks and know where to look. Another really cool racer Bruce. I love how you bring out all of what the original kit has to offer.

I like to see how accurate I can get with the existing kit and a bit of paint and found materials... prices of aftermarket accessories are getting out of control??

Misha Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Great job on this one Bruce! I always enjoy seeing “what ifs” because they offer such an imaginative look while still preserving the recognizable origin. This one is such a jewel in presenting an iconic Yunick look, congrats! Back when I was constructing aircraft I tooled up a Sabre in Canadian low vis camo, as we were still flying T-33s in that scheme.

Misha Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’m gathering info and parts for my CB entry of the four door Hudson from The Irishman, so with enough time I’m planning to join your Cobra on the starting grid!
