Dale Earnhardt Jr. CoT Impala 2008 Throwback Paint Scheme

[gami8630]

I have built a Chevrolet Impala of Dale Earnhardt Jr. that competed in the 2008 "THROWBACK WEEKEND OF NASCAR AT DARLINGTON RACEWAY", the same as the Ford Fusion I posted in my last issue.
The paint scheme is the THROWBACK of DW's "Mountain Dew Rigal", the 1981 champion.

The base kit is again AMT's "Snapit" kit "NASCAR 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA", and roll cage, instrument panel, rear suspension adjustment tubes, bucket seats, etc. have been detailed, but this time The engine was not installed.
Bucket seats are "Full Containment Racing Seat Type B" from JaysStockCars, which is listed on Etsy.com.

Wheels and tires are also from the kit, but the tire logos are Powerslide decals.

The decals are made by Powerslide, but because of the 1/24 scale, some of the decals have been trimmed and repositioned.
Painting the body white and green was done fairly well by using a copy of the decal and cutting it out as a template.

Buick Regal in the last photo is one of the four cars that Monogram released 40 years ago in 1983 as the first 1/24th scale stock car, which I purchased and built shortly after its release in Japan 40 years ago.
Of all the Monogram kits I have built, this is the oldest one still in existence.
Since 40 years have passed since I made it, the body and plating are quite faded and some parts are missing, but I will continue to take good care of it.
