What do you use for the wing supports? I always struggle with those, yours look great.

For mine, I put some rubber bands on it to twist it back into the correct shape. I then put it into a dehydrator at 130F for at least an hour and then put it in the freezer for a bit. I had to do th ...

Does anyone else have a hard time figuring out what the kit of the month is each month? Sometimes I get an email saying what it it but most months I do not have any clue what's coming. The receipt jus ...

Aren't the lovers on the hood bigger on 2023 as appose to those on the 2022

Good point. Yes they are, but new hoods are included on the 2023 kits (except the Elliott and Larson primary schemes).

For the kits, no. For the actual cars, some slight changes to the nose. I think most people just leave them alone for their builds.

Another Box Stock build straight from the Monogram Kodak combo kit. I used Tamiya TS-34 Camel Yellow for the paint. This body on this one was also twisted and needed some work to get it straight. C ...

This one is box stock from the Monogram Dinner Bell kit with Powerslide decals. For the finish, I used MCW paints. I had to create the roof and trunk lid decals to match closer to the MCW green. Th ...

Here's a better view of the camera locations. The front camera should be closer to the center (right side of windshield cutout when viewed from the front). Since the decals now have the cutout, we'r ...

Mike had a note on the website last night that there were going to be some delays if you had the Burt Myers kit as part or your order due to the volume of orders received. It looks like they are catc ...

Great Job !!! Did the kit decals work out OK ??? This past summer, a weekly racer at Evergreen Speedway Monroe,WA., had a kinda - sorta 1981 LeMans, complete with the Tuf - Lon paint scheme and tiny W ...

I did quite a bit of body modifications based on an article written by Drew Hierwarter. I shortened the front end and hood, reshaped the window openings, and moved the fuel filler. I filed the headl ...

Chase Elliott's Hooters scheme for 2022. Spoiler is custom built and I added some roll bar padding and the dash.

I modeled this one after Alex Bowman's win at the Spring 2022 Las Vegas race. I tried to create the champagne white color by layering Tamiya TS-7 Racing White, then TS-26 Pure White, TS-56 Pearl Clea ...

This is the first Salvinos Next Gen kit I built. It was completed several months ago. I opted to paint instead of use all of the supplied decals. Paint is Tamiya TS-93 Pure Blue and TS-26 Pure Whit ...

Assuming we are discussing the Monogram tires. To my eye, that the 'ridge' around the outer part of the sidewall on the 'smooth' side is too pronounced. I've found that sanding down the raised letteri ...

For me, I cut off the original front piece and replaced it with a longer piece of Evergreen rod. This will allow it to fit in the connecting points of the engine and transaxle. You won't see the sid ...

Those are really nice builds. What did you use for the grill and the front/rear cameras? I'm almost done with the 48 car and wanted to add the camera detail. Yours looks great.

Tamiya TS23 is a popular choice.

I found this article from Drew Hierwarter that had a few tips I used.

I did a Blaney build a few years back with these Ace Decals. Is this what you are after?

I finished this one last week. It's the second time I've built this kit, the first time was probably when it first came out in the late '80s.

Tamiya TS-35 Park Green, TS-26 Pure White, and TS-21 G ...

Here's the new Quaker State decals vs an old Revell truck kit decal for reference. They seemed to cover pretty well without having to double up.

Great looking model, Joe.

How long have those decals been out? I just finished a Quaker State Buick with the newest Powerslide decal release from a couple of weeks ago and the white seems to cover ...

I've built three of the Gen 6 kits (2 Fords, 1 Chevy).

The chassis is the same between them. I used Tamiya Insignia White (AS-20) which is actually a very light gray. The Tamiya paint dries fla ...

Here's another one that was started and then sat around for years. I finally got around to finishing it.

This is from the Earnhardt Wrangler combo kit.

The colors are Krylon Fusion 2330 Sunbeam ...

1997 Petty Pontiac. I think this was driven by Bobby Hamilton at the time, but there weren't any driver name decals included.

For colors, Tamiya TS-23 Light Blue and Mr. Color 171 Fluorescent Re ...

Fantastic job Henrik. I always enjoy seeing your work.

Awesome build!

What paints did you use on the engine valve covers, air cleaner, etc.?

Thanks!

Tamiya Gloss Aluminum (TS-17) for those.

I use that quite a bit, and that looks just a hair ...

You said the wheels and headers are from Jim Rogers, as in the JR of JR Salvinos? I have seen the modern seat, figure, and older style resin seat on the site.

Where can i access/order other stuff ...

This is the Salvinos JR Tim Richmond Lemans kit. I used MCW 2056 Red for the color. The headers and wheels are from Jim Rogers. I painted the wheels with Green Stuff World Chrome Metal (over a blac ...

I am currently doing prep/pre-assembly of this same kit. I really liked how yours turned out. Great tip on the ducting, will have to give that a try as well.

How did you do the dash/gauge detaili ...

I built one of these when they first came out and 30 years later, here's attempt #2. I was about to try the kit decals and then I saw that Powerslide has some in the Coming Soon section so I guess I' ...

Nicely done.
What did you do for the ductwork? It looks very convincing.

Thanks. For the ductwork, I paint them aluminum and then use the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color for the black. This is w ...

For colors I used Krylon Short Cuts SCS-053 Gloss White and SCS-035 Espresso. The brown was a bit off from the kit decals, but fairly close. The chas ...

The only issue is if you set the rear bumper flush with the trunk back panel, there will be a gap you'll need to fill on the rear quarter panels. You can mount the bumper flush to the quarter panels, ...

Beautiful!

I was going to ask about the wheels, but thanks for the description. They turned out great.

These are the same molds from the original Monogram kits. The air dam piece I am referring to attaches to the chassis. I don't think any of the GM kits of that era had it except the Pontiacs. The w ...
