arni Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 I can't wait to see this baby done,hope you don't mind arni.. but what's a 64 got to do with the love of Arnies life... They were both Belvedere cars. Took a looky online last night at the real deal and saw pics of the car with either silver or blue wheels,so went for (chrome) silver a a contrast to the body.Then foiled the body sides.. Then......The Lindberg curse struck again! The decals broke up badly in water - in fact if I had used a frag grenade it would have been better..... So it will have to be done as a generic race car.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caterhamnut Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thought this was going to be a Sebastien Vettel Red Bull F1 car when I saw the thread title  But this is much better! There is a whole world of Americana model kits I see out here that I've never really seen - I am quite tempted by some of the old Indy and NASCAR classics.... Looking cool - lovely coluor.

Thanks,I will let you in on a secret re the paint.....It is actually a Humbrol glass etch and seeing it realised that it was perfect for a Petty car! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
