1992 Pontiac Grand Prix Richard Petty #43 Stock Car NASCAR 1/24 Scale Model Kit Build Review

[@maryfiltz800]

You're right about flash when they were building the pyramids. That was my job back then, to trim the flash off the blocks. Great build, always like this car.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@rocketsock4297]

Love Your videos! Very impressive to see you build one amazing model after the other. You inspired me to build an *"Italeri VW 1303 convertible"* kit and it came out better then expected for my 1st project (since my childhood). Thank You so much for the tips and the Floor-Polish trick. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@hpiguy]

That is awesome!

[@ovidiuschley3346]

This NASCAR kit project , 1/24 scale , is really fantastic 🏆. The car is very detailed and looks so real . Thank you for sharing this great video, my friend !🏆🥇👏👏👏👍

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like it!

[@MarkMeadows90]

Love these builds, Chris! I can’t mask worth a darn when it comes to multiple colors on a model. When I saw the bit when you said about the engine color, I thought most NASCAR engines in the “modern era” were a bare metal color. Like aluminum if I’m not mistaken.

[@hpiguy]

I try to follow the manual and the owner of Salvinos' father actually worked with the race teams so I'll take their recommendations much of the time.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

AWESOME . I like how you sanded down the tires . Great build as always . SOOOOO KOOOOOLLLL .

[@hpiguy]

Thank you so much 😀

[@viewericeberg]

The box art fooled me into thinking this is based on the old AMT kit. I now see that isn’t the case and I’m throughly interested in this version. Great build up as always.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@johnwilliams7102]

You made my day ! The chassis/interior alone is awesome. Love the roll cage.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you liked it!

[@michaelbrown7661]

My only complaint about these former Monogram kits is the awful rear differential and those headers but it's nice that Salvinos keeps these kits alive for us model builders ! They are doing a great job with these Nascar models new and old that we wouldn't otherwise have !

[@darylsuess8990]

Beauty Chris! Richard Petty was always my favourite Nascar driver. Long live the King!

[@hpiguy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@gunnarbiker]

Got to see Petty run this car a few times in Rockingham! Back when NASCAR was great!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Erik!

[@Funsho97]

Nice, I built this exact car over 20 years ago. I have kept mine in an individual case and it still looks good. Most people that see it think it is a diecast. Lol. Oh and my kit was by AMT and I had to paint the body the blue and red, no decals there to make life easier. Lol.

[@hpiguy]

Yes, this one is painted.

[@kinleycalvert2915]

Love your show, and builds! I like how Model Roundup shows your stuff on their Facebook....Been watching/commenting for about 2 years.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@timhefty504]

When I was a kid I was given a Jeff Gordon model kit for Christmas but never put it together, I think the body and tires and decals were missing but even if it had all that I don't think I would've had the patience to paint and glue it all. Still not sure if I would now, think I'd prefer clicking pieces together, but still this looks cool and I might try

[@lukasgarage956]

One of the best paint schemes in motorsports.

Nice video Chris........................... My favorite driver, King Richard!!!! 👍👍👍👍

Same here!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@hpiguy Cool

[@1976Cordoba]

Great build - decals went on awesome! One note on Petty cars you might want to file for the future is that they painted their suspension pieces dark blue like the wheels were for a long time.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for the tip!

I hope to on the 73, but we'll see.

Petty blended his own paint from old paint he had around the shop and it came out that way

Cool! Lucky!

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I’ve brushed pledge on my first nascar build over Tamiya laquer basecoat . Still trying to get the pledge to give me a consistent glossy finish with my second coat.

[@hpiguy]

Try one good heavy coat and leaving it alone for 24 hours.

[@johnboy384]

Built 4 of these kits so far, the ONLY thing I find disappointing is the identical chassis for all kits so far. It goes together nicely though, just would be nice to have some variation.

Ever look under a real stock car? All the same for the most part.

[@thomasallen3818]

The reason NASCAR drive shafts were white or off white, is for visibility in case one is lost during the race, other drivers can avoid hitting it.

[@hpiguy]

Yes

[@lt_walke4088]

I see you using the rustoleum sprays. Couple of questions? are these house paints etc. or are they an actual model paint (intended for scale models?) like a rebranded testors model masters etc. and is it a good reliable spray can or is it heavy sediment (requiring excessive shaking/swirling of the can) resulting in excessively thick coats if not shaken properly or high aerosol content where the comes out matte and rough and off colour? Also is there brush on colour matched bottles. I have a 78 corvette I built for my wife with Model Masters dark blue (similar to chevy daytona blue) that I cant find touch up (or even a new spray can) to cover the sprue points.

quick question, i’m trying to build a petty super bird. The model I have is 1/24. I can only find decals for 1/25. Think they’ll work/appear okay in size? I’m aware they’ll be a tad smaller but how much size are we talking?

[@hpiguy]

I think many have done that model and it looks fine with 1/25 decals.

[@scootosan]

clever how you scuffed the tires.
