A break from the wing things. Here's my Revell 1/24 Dale Earnhardt Jr's
1998 Busch Grand National #3 Monte Carlo. It is going to be pretty much
OOB. I am about halfway through with the chassis, engine is done and
waiting for installation.---John

coming along bud

[john53]

I installed the engine, drive shaft, rear end and exhaust.---John

[john53]

Painted dash board, gauges and steering wheel then installed.---John

Looking good, What did you use to do the red in the gauges?

[john53]

The red is brush painted with Tamiya acrylic gloss red. I brush painted the
MM flat black dash first then brush painted the Testors silver instrument bezels
and switches after which I did the instrument gauge faces with Tamiya acrylic gloss
black then when that was dry I did the needles and digits with Tamiya acrylic gloss red.---John
