My last Nascar post using the recent pics i took.

Manheim Auctions Monte Carlo.

Driven by Dick Trickle, best name in nascar.

 

A quite low key scheme, not helped by using the same shade of yellow as on the other cars, should have been brighter, Ford Signal Yellow perhaps.

Again, just b/w pics of the decalsspacer.png in a Carkits catalogue, so never know how it'll finally look.

All the cars i've posted, a lot of yellow being used as 1st or 2nd colours.

 

I did get sick of them, its why i built this yellow Dinner Bell Olds into a white Havoline. And the Dinner Bell is an ugly scheme. Ha!

But just yesterday i did see a pic of a genuine white 28 Havoline race car, in the 90's ARCA series. But a Lumina body, so almost correct.

My current builds, three are to be yellow.

Can't get away from this colour.

Another excellent NASCAR build!

👏👏

Right up 'til about the mid-2000's the Revell stockcar kit releases were a big part of the hobby!

After that, the licensing costs (all those sponsors wanting to be paid royalties on kit sales) and a huge market in diecast cars seemed to knock a hole in the kit sales.

Well, that's how I see it, looking back.

However, I still have a tidy collection of unbuilt kits and aftermarket decals to keep me going! 😉
