randman Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Tamiya TS-14 Gloss Black and TS-30 Silver Leaf for the body. MCW 2128 Red for the chassis and interior. This one is strictly box stock. The decals are 25 years old and an absolute nightmare. I tried the silver decals and knew those weren't going to fit the front bumper curves so I ended up painting the silver and creating the red stripes from clear decal film and the leftover MCW paint. The decals silvered like crazy but I was able to salvage them. More pictures in the gallery: Mike Skinner Goodwrench Chevy SuperTruck 2
TonyK Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Very nice looking model! I wonder if you clear coated the decals it would've helped? I've done that with old decals and it seems to save them. Anyway, you did a great job with them.
bbowser Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Nicely done! Don't see many of these built. Great job saving the decals, I know that can be a stressful part of any build.
ABNSPR Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Very nice. Just finished a truck and used some of the these decals for that build and you are exactly right they are a nightmare. Especially the tires on mine. So I will say again, very nice.
MackT Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Fantastic job on the series first champion. I'd say you nailed it.
CRANMAN1 Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Nice!! Have the Sauter version looking to do it.
Mattilacken Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Beautiful build! It looks absolutely perfect, so great job on those old decals and paint! These are some bad as looking trucks and hav definitely inspired my C5R Silverado under whip pickups. Thanks for sharing! If you have an other of those kits I would love to get my hands on one, the only nascar I would love to build!
Penguins87 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Very Nice. I have a couple of those truck kits myself. You inspire me to start them. I have some old Slixx decals to put on them. I know that it is going to be tough.
Mattilacken Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 An other beautifull build! Great work on these! want to get those decals!
PatW Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Superb! I'm trying to build one with just the body shell to start with!
