STF Models

Some progress:
As I expected, there’s a slight size difference between my kit and the one Indycals used to measure their decals. It’s no big deal—once they’re back from their sabbatical, I’ll just order another set.

New parts!

1986 road and street course and short oval wings for the AMT 1986 March 86C kit

The infamous Box Kite wing , a dual element wing and a single element one

Not my best masking job but the wings are painted

Some touch up will be needed then it's on to the gloss coat

Getting close to finally having Mark Donahue's 1972 Indy 500 winning McLaren in my collection

Not bad for a 1st try

Satellite/Roadrunner grill for the Revell 71 GTX

So I'm getting laid off from my job so I'll have some more time for builds while I look for a new job

Is there any type of build you would be interested in seeing?

New Year, New WIP

Well, here we go again—I don't know why I keep doing this to myself!

Let me start by saying I’m not a huge fan of Salvino’s JR. They had a real opportunity to release some truly kick-ass kits, but instead, they gave us this.

Now, full disclosure: I didn’t actually buy this kit. A friend of mine, who loves the car but doesn’t have the time to build it, gave it to me. So I’m building it for them.

This project will be Neil Bonnett’s 1977 #5 Stacy Dodge Charger. It's not just a work-in-progress (WIP); it’s also kind of a review of these kits that Salvino’s has the audacity to charge $50 for.

Am I a hater? Probably. But I’d argue that offering constructive criticism isn’t the same as hating. That said, anyone in the modeling community knows Salvino’s seems to think they can do no wrong.

So, with that in mind—let’s dive in!
