Hey guys, Im not an avid NASCAR fan but during football offseason I do watch. I love Kyle Busch (dont hit me) but I cant find a kit for his car anywhere. Is there one in production?

The only one I know of is the Sharpie Ford. Made by AMT. Don't know if you can find one or not.

To the best of my knowledge there has never been a production model of any car that Kyle has driven. There are currently no Toyota NASCAR models available at all. The best you could hope for is to build a Chevy from his days with Hendricks. I don't know if Slixx or some other decal mfg produces decals for the #5 while Kyle was driving it.

Neither Revell or AMT have offered any models that represent the COT, no matter which of the manufactures it was meant to represent.

With the fact that Revell has pretty much dropped their line of NASCAR models I wouldn't expect any production models for Kyle or any other driver in the near future.

hungry4knowhow, I've built a few kyle busch monte carlos, 2004-2007 cup and busch/nationwide. What you do is find a schrub decal sheet you like and buy a 04, 05, 06 or 07 revell monte carlo kit and decal it to make a kyle busch model. No specific kyle busch models were produced.

Here's a link to Southern Motorsports Hobbies and the #5 decal page(s).

Type in #5 in the "Search" and then Go thru them and find the #5, or any other number kyle ran early in his busch or cup years, and buy the sheet you want. Use the same link to SMH and then "Search" #20 and on page 6 there are two revell kits, a 2007 and a 2003. Here's the rundown on the revell monte carlo kits;

2002-2002 kits are the same

2003-2005 kits are the same

2006-2007 kits are the same

and sign up as a member, if you're not already, then go to the flea market forum there and offer to buy what year monte carlo kit you need.

Do what Mick said. You don't have to have a dedicated kit. Like Kyle or not he's the best in the business right now. Maybe he will develop a better personality with age like D.W. did.

This thread is old, but I have not been able to find Kyle Busch car kit either. All I ever see is the Diecast. I am looking for one for my husband for the past year as a gift. Update...anything?
