Another AMT kit. I used Chimneyville after market decals combined with the
kit decals to
replicate Neil Bonnett's ride. The name and Hossier decals were custom
made on my
computer printer on blank decal paper. This is fairly easy using any word
processing
program. As with all my NASCAR's the engine is detailed as is the
interior. The paint is
Testor's blue and Classic white. I like this Citgo scheme. It is sort of
patriotic in nature.
Only thing is the decals are a tad large as they are designed for the
larger 1/24th scale
cars, but they do not look too bad. As with all my NASCAR's, the tires are
lettered with a
Replica and Miniatures of Maryland tire stencil (the Hoosier one here)
using either
Tamiya flat white acrylic or Floquil Reefer white paint shot from an
airbrush. I used a fine
0000 brush and some slightly thinned red paint to paint the red ring on
the wheels. Just
flows into the recess. I normally let the wheels dry at least a week
before I do this as any
overpaint can be quickly removed with a Q-tip slightly dampened with
thinner. This will
not remove the fully cured wheel paint.
