[JTRACING]

hi everybody, this is my first post here, i just found this great forum, i must say some of the cars i have seen here are unbelievable!!

hope you like my stuff, i tend to build mostly nascar
comments welcome

this is Kevin Harvicks rookie of the year car.
started with a revell kit, the front kick out on the nose is scratch built using sheet plastic,(everything under the heardlights in the front is scratchbuilt), the rear spoiler is also scratchbuilt from sheet stock. all the body hinges are made from plastic sheet aswell.
the c-pillar windows are made using clear plastic sheet,
i made the window net from masking tape, and some plastic rod.
the grill tape, hood pin tape and window tear-off tabs are made using electrical tape., i added a sunvisor strip to the drivers side of the front window using masking tape.
the car is painted with testors#6 racing white, and dupli-color red,
i used slixx decals and clearcoated with dupli-color clear

It just looks so photorealistic !

Yeah! Great job. It's good to see something different here, especially when it's as high quality as this.

Keep up the good work!

glad to see someone else here doing nascar. tremendous job.

Very realistic replica.
At first I thought it was a R/C lexan body because the headlights look like stickers, but I guess that's because the real car also uses stickers.
