I build plenty but don't post as many as I should. Finished this up last week. Dale Jr ride from 2000. Budweiser special paint scheme (back when that was actually a thing and not just a different wrap for each race) for the 2000 Olympic Games. Wet works decals I picked up on clearance from Mike's. Testors red and Mr Hobby bright blue for the paint. Tweaked the stance a little but otherwise box stock. I believe I added the Earnhardt bar too.

Well done! Excuse my ignorance, what is the "Earnhardt bar"? Where does it go in the car? I thought that I was up on my NASCAR stuff, Petty bar, Wallace bar, etc. Learn something new every day!

It's the bar that runs from the top of the front of the roll cage down into the bars under the dash. Cuts the front window opening in half. I believe that Earnhardt flipped at Talladega in the mid 90's and the top hoop failed and got bent in. Added the bar to stiffen it up. That's the story as I remember it. Revell didn't add it to their kits until the 03 kits. |
