Short Track and NASCAR modeling

Earlier today I was wondering if there was going to be an update. Love it!

And painting over red, keen to see how this looks as I have some Kodak decals too hopefully use on a Lumina.

Thanks.

Back in the yesteryears, i was always told that Kodak yellow could be reproduced by spraying yellow over red.

I put the hood in place and i'll be damned if it isn't a slightly lighter shade than the rest of the body. If i hadn't already put decals on the hood i woulda shot another coat or two of yellow on it.

Thanks. I did make more effort with this build, liking now the bodyshape does help!

Also, the exhaust area on these kits.
The chassis lip what the body sits on, is it suppose to be also the exhaust? It's a detail I always forget about.

Added some bars from an AMT kit to the front clip and used part of the exhaust from a Monogram T-Bird and a coffee straw. Also, I think I've got a paint scheme design that I like!

Repaint seems to be successful. Will post pics of the painted body on the chassis in a few days

Sanded and spot primed, hopefully i can blend the paint... i almost re-primered the whole thing and just started over. Never did a "blend" paint job before, will see how this works our.
