This was my first NASCAR model. It is an AMT kit so it is smaller than the
newer kits.
I like the suspension and the engine detail better. The paint is Testor's
with the green
being custom mixed to match the box photo. The engine compartment has been
detailed with spark wires, oil and fuel lines, etc. The interior has lines
running
through it also and the seat belts use the Detail Master photoetched belt
hardware. I
did both at the same time with the other set going into the Citgo bird.
Thsi stuff is
tough to work with and I am now blind. The front track needed to be
narrowed so the
tires would fit inside the body by removing th raised hub on the wheel and
sanding
down the disc brake caliper. All the AMT kits have this problem as do the
Revell kits.
Stock kit decals were used which were a pain to get to snuggle down. As
with all my
NASCAR's the window netting is scratchbuilt from masking tape strips and
draped
over the side of the car.
