1967 Mario Andretti Daytona 500 winner

Another bucket list car for me because I have never done an Andretti car or a Fairlane before. I will be adding some photos of the making decal process as well. Below is the kit

This is going to be another great one!

Thanks, Steve. Having to make the decals first. Almost through with the 427 C.I. decal then all that are left are the right door 11, the roof 11, and the trunk 11. After I make those I can make the color sheet and the white inlay sheet and then I can start building the model.

That CoffeeMate contingency is funny

It will be changed. Found out what it really is. Just haven't got around to it yet. Early version of solder seal.

Looked right to me... just kinda out of place on a race car.

Makes more sense.

I would bet that the boys at HM drank it black

If you're going to drink, drink it straight!

some progress.

I'm through with the decals because I have checked out paper copies of all the decals on the model itself and they all fit. So, it is on to the build itself and painting the body colors that come close to the ones in this photo that a guy posted at MCW for me from a trading card he had saved for many years and kept in a safe place for all that time. The real car colors should be real close to those in that image. I have a Createx wicked pearlized blue that I can work with to lighten a little to match that color blue as close as I can get it.

Are you going to paint the red on the roof sections? Seems like it would be easier than making a decal for it, getting the contours correct.

Nice looking time piece.

Yes, I will be brush painting those first. Something that small would be too much trouble to airbrush. Then I will airbrush the gold and then mask all that and airbrush the blue. Should be a lot easier than the painting I had to do on the Monte Carlo that I just did.
