Looks great on the box!

Why on earth do they say they are for age 18 and older???????

FS1 has been replaying older NASCAR races and just saw these GPs tearing around Talladega in 1987 - they were good looking racecars.

I got mine yesterday too

How do the parts look for accuracy? Love them Aero Cars.

[gks1964]

They look really nice. The chassis is the old Monogram setup. Haven't tried any parts for fit. I'm sure many others will have better knowledge than I.

I saw the 1986 Richmond race but missed this one. Is there a place that shows what and when they are showing of the older races? 86 Richmond was the best race I had seen in decades.

I'd like to know too!  I just bumped into both Richmond and Talladega.   I'd love to know what was going thru Dale Sr.'s mind when it looks like he took a left turn into DW at Richmond!  Anyway it was fun to see Kyle win his first.

Regarding this topic - I'd love to see some pix.  The box art looks so good - if the body is accurate I think will pick one of these up.   A nice change from the Monte Carlo aerobacks.

Didn't know they were out yet. Just ordered 3 from Mike's. Thanks for letting me know.

YouTube has many races.  You can watch them on your big screen if it's  a smart tv!

Looks pretty accurate to me. No chrome at all but really doesn't need it. Overall a rather nice kit using the Monogram GM chassis.

Thank you, that does look interesting.

[wrenchr]

Looks very good, thanks I did order one myself. I'm sure Salvino can do a lot like this with those Monogram tools, lots not covered in styrene. Cutlass, lemans ect.

When I'm in my hobby room I'll play race on the TV.

Yes it looks good.  What tires are in the kit?

[MarkJ]

The 2+2 always looked more bulbous to me then the monte carlo version.

For sure a new tire, they look right and are softer than the Monogram ones we are all accustomed to. No lettering on them. I received my kit today.

Seen this pic while looking for the version I want to build. Modelroundup has them or will have them.
