64 Petty Plymouth #41 Car
« on: October 12, 2017, 01:32:12 AM »
From the new AMT reissue of the Lindburgh kit. My fourth model of this line and my first Petty car. Very enjoyable kit build. Oob with just a few imbelishments.

 :)  I saw that car race one time.  Maybe Spartanburg Fairgrounds.  Maybe Jim Paschal drove it.  Long time ago.  54 years, maybe.  Memory is a little fuzzy.

I have one of those Lindburgh kits.  Maybe I will build it one day.  I hope so.

I like it a lot, Slim.  Simple, uncluttered.  My speed these days.

Excellent build , Tom. Looks like Paschals 600 winner. You nailed the electric blue color. Looks perfect.

That does look good Tom. Very clean and to the point...Love it! What paint did you use for the petty blue? It sure looks dead on my friend...

Thanks fellas! Gary, I followed Tom Mooty's instructions on using Tamiya light blue #23 over light gray primer for the Petty blue.
