During my family vacation we visited in Barcelona. As always I was looking for some Gunpla stores – I went to Akatsuki hobby store, close to Triumph Arc 🙂 Its not my first time in Akatsuki, seems like Gunpla area is growing there – dedicated room for hobbyist – love it! That feeling, when you’re…
I added few internal details including visible fuel lines. It will fit quite nicely into the body. Unfortunately, there will be not so much details visible with body-on…. It is ok for me – I will not focus so much on the interior :). BTW I receive a package from https://www.modelroundup.com/ – 2022 Nascar Champion…
In meantime I ordered aftermarket racing belt set. Its not as real-real Nascar safety belts, but I decided to go with those as it will add extra detail to the miniature. Additinally I added some photoetched bolts to the seat – looks cool now. Seat in position. Just hop-in and drive! In meantime I covered…
I started to work on the blue parts of Blaney’s Champion car.Masking tape was applied based on photo documentation and kit box. Quick mix of two MrHobby – I used kit decals as a guidance for a color. It looked quite same in my eyes… and sprayed unmasked parts of a body. The color want…
In my modeller shelf I found plain carbon fibers waterslide decals. I put them on the racing chair and other interior parts made of carbon fiber. On the sides of the main cage I attached self adhesive packing foam parts to replicate Next Gen car safety walls. The engine was enriched with sparkplug wires, I…
Nascar cars details like headlights or grilles are made of sticker in the real thing… Salvinos decals covers thats pretty good, except real-real mesh that is incorporated in the front bumper of next generation racecars. I need to improve that! First, I did pencil drawing on paper tape – based on decal from the box.…
After application of white surfacer a lot of imperfections popped up… I was expeting some but not to that level – it seems like Bandai kits rised the quality bar and I got used to that – SalvinosJr – something to improve 🙂 I painted the engine and transmission with Tamiya laquers. Those combined with…
I didn’t like molded (closed) hood vents, took one of my gunpla scribing cheesels and start to dig the holes in the hood 😉…after few minutes left side of the hood was completed, now there is no turning back. Yeah! Now it looks waaaay better! Another dry fit before cleaning – hood looks sweet –…
Time to start the build! Im just following SalvinosJR instruction.Rear frame of racecar with fuel-cell and gearbox attached – looks like a real thing oob! V8 a heart of American Racecar! Unfortunately, I need to say that details are not 2024 quality 🙂 but anyhow – it looks like NextGen Nascar Engine. Engine in place…
I was F1 fan for many years…. after last season I was completely bored with ‘F1 train’ and one/two same drivers on winning positions.As a racecar lover, I looked for other races that I could watch and enjoy and I found NASCAR as really dynamic race sport, completely different than F1. After watching 2023 season…
