For the proper colors, scale finishes has them if you have an airbrush

For the chassis insignia white will be perfect. It is a very faint gray to be h ...

Yep I’m on about 6-7 of them now. Personally I left it as it. Too thin like you said and didn’t feel like messing with it as I knew I wouldn’t be happy with it. Lol

Just a heads up I just had 3 amigos decals make a 1991 Olds and a 1994 Lumina Gant sheet. He should have them on his site fairly soon for sale. Much more accurate to the real cars than the moosework ...

I am looking for the following. all revell. I've got spare chassis for these but need new bodies to build something with them, lol For all of these I need the complete body, bumpers, hood, glass, et ...

It all changes in 2022 so if you start today you may have kits before then. The only hope is Salvinos but I think their plate is full.

I have heard from them they are trying to get the molds f ...

Looks outstanding. I like your results a lot on these flat or semi gloss paint schemes. Your decals are not silvering and it looks so much better.

I found that when I lay the decals on a gloss ...

I built this as a request from David and got it to him at Bristol 2018. This was the car he raced at Homestead in 2017. Lionel never made one so its a one off and now in his personal collection.

So once you get them in place in one piece. What do you do to keep them from curling up and falling off?

This is the VERY early stages to this project. I am not going too detailed on this but I did open the trunk so I can display it with the trunk and hood open. I will be adding some detail under the h ...

Hey Steve,

If you have any other Slixx sheets upcoming, just a tip. Get the water as hot as you can stand it. I have found with Slixx decals, the hotter the better. Use needle nose pliers or twe ...

I finished up my 1988 the other day. Another great set Mark.

Very Nice! I just finished one with a bit more detail. my first go at a high detail build. Always loved that car!

Just get a good gray sealer primer, then prime white over it and no problem at all.

Thanks for the tip. How do you not burn yourself and how do you keep the water that hot?

I sit my bowl on a hotplate and I use needlenose pliers to dip the decal in the water then lay it on a ...

Thanks
Bill

yep, sure did

Colors blend real good. Bright and crisp.

thanks, Like I said Powerslide did a great job with the decals. The entire body is a decal wrap. I only painted the lower rear bumper red.

Great build . I remember the brief tire war with Hooser tires.. NASCAR said Hooser had to produce tires for all the teams even though most teams had contracts with Goodyear. This caused the smaller ti ...

This was just an idea I had. Thought it was a cool way to think of what if Dale Sr was still around later in the season.
