Andy Hillenburg (OK) #2 STP sprint car

[18degrees]

hey y'all, finished this one up tonight. Tamiya TS-15 blue for the body and wing panels, Revellogram kit, Slixx decals with Powerslide tire decals on 3 of the 4 (RR is the Slixx lettering, which is waaayyyyy too big, to me at least, for the fronts and LR.  hell, that one on the RR is a front, i think ), headers from The Parts Box (trying to clear out my stash), shocks from Jaye, wheel covers and beadlock from Dwight on Shapeways, rock screen from Dirt Modeler, seat from Mike's.  added the wing supports and modified the nerfs.  if you looked at my WiP you possibly may have noted that i had paint issues with some of the formerly "chrome" parts, the paint wrinkled pretty badly on the left side wing board and some on the right board also, just not as bad.  wing centers had a small issue too that wasn't too bad.  i didn't feel like sanding and re-priming and painting again so i just slapped some decals over it... which is unusual for me.  i stuck with kit wheels and tires, the fronts he ran then were solid.

anyway, pretty sure this is 1995/96, just before he went over to the white paint scheme.










next up is 2019 sprint car of 1s Logan Schuchart, partially as an homage to Bobby Allen and partially because i am waiting on parts from Jaye for almost all of my NASCAR builds.  gonna feel the need to do some mods to this chassis...

As always, excellent job! I like how the red and white stripes go into a checkered flag pattern. Thats a neat looking ride.

Thanks for the compliments y'all.

I have an extra (complete) sheet of this build that i can sell, cheap. Cheap-ish. The sheet i had held up very well over around 30 years, one of the contingencies tore (i was able to nudge it back together) and the tail tank numbers weren't too cooperative, took decal solution and a lot of massaging... mostly because the numbers are huge. Tail tank numbers seem to always be a pain because of the contours of the tank.
Anyway, message me if you are interested in the sheet.
