Luka… you can’t have too many kits - when it comes to model kits , it’s not called hoarding, it’s called prepping! Your collection is awesome, and if it wasn’t for guys like you, we novices would be out of luck. Thank God for Salvinos JR and the rest of the supply companies that aren’t letting vintage die. Thanks for sharing bro - I love your enthusiasm and videos.
Also Lucas please, please, please do a video on restoring old decal sheets.
I agree I have some old decals in my stash
If you ever get the chance , tell Salvinos JR , that at least one enthusiast thinks they are becoming the USA’s “Tamiya”. They are bringing really good stuff our way.
Nice i use to own a Regal 1986
Currently building my 4th Salvinos JR car. The kits are fantastic. The Power Slide decals are THE BEST decals I have ever used. Better than high end Japanese brands. They are thin, strong with good adhesion , super sharp detail with vivid solid colors and they lay down beautifully. With a little Micro Sol on those hard to conform spots.
John.
It will be interesting to compare both kits after you get them both built...
Another great video. At this time I have not built a nasscar kit. I did spend 30 years of my life racing them ending my career in a super late model. Still drive the pace car back at the paved track in Canada. I do have a few in my stash and you just kindled the fire and when I get back home I will definately pull one out.
I love that Buick body... had an 82 Buick Regal back in the day.
I have a bunch of the originals from way back when. The old kits are cool.
Nice that both of these are made in the 🇺🇸.....
Great old kits, too modern for my Nascar "thing" though, I'm old school up to 70-71ish....😉
Very cool and unique review, nice to see a new upload
Awesome Review/Comparison Sir, thanks for Sharing n God Bless All.
great update
This cheered me right 🤬 up....thank you very 🤬 much, tremendously 🤬 appreciated!!
Listen, I can't talk without swearing, OK....besides, I don't swear, I have a very colorful and imaginative language....😝😉😆😂
The Monogram NASCAR Thunderbirds are great kits but they have one main problem - the wheels are the 5 hole style wheels, which were used on some cars, but not on EVERY Thunderbird, so for accuracy, you might have to swap the wheels with a set from another kit. Otherwise, you just accept it and don't worry too much about it (which is what I did). When Salvino releases the Pontiac 2+2 next year, if they do the Alugard kit, save those 5 hole wheels - that Grand Prix raced with the 5 hole wheels.
I noticed that this kit has the exhausts with the pipes that come down and then wrap under the block or transmission. Not only are these pipes not accurate, but they never quite join properly. Years back, there was an article in SAE about just sawing off the pipes and then sanding the cut area to fashion more standard pipes, and this is what I did for this type of engine whenever I encountered it. If you sand them smooth and then paint them, they look much much better.
I'd be happy with eather I love kits I've a unboxing channel called KRS modeling UNBOXINGS and builds I'm going to get into it and get better set up soon as it takes off a bit I'll show finished builds and will start doing them in vids love ur vids keep up the good great work
Just picked up the new JR Allison Buick Regal...as i own an 87 Buick Grand National...im doing the history of...next is the Petty Regal..54.00 + tax Canadian.😩
It was only 10 minutes ago that I bought #88 from a seller on ebay. How about that, huh.😎
Yeah, different plastic, otherwise the same kit. New tires, would of love to see them retain the raised lettering, as it was easy to paint. New glass, just wish they would have taken the time to actually get the windshield right, as it doesn't fit as well as the Monogram glass did
Remember… Monogram kits are 1/24 scale, while AMT was 1/25 scale… personally, I liked the Monogram kits more , because I could detail them a little easier.
Nice video just subbed you
Yesterday. I seen a iroc race Dale Earnhardt finished 2nd in a blue car. Do u have any of Dale s cars in your collection ! ?
If it was produced in scale. I have at least one.
hi Lucas, I have a question for you concerning the nascar kits. I found in my stash a decal sheet for the 2007 Elvis Chevy Impala. I have search and cannot find a model of the 2007 Impala car. Does anyone make a model of that year ?
I'm 1982 37years old so 84 would be 35
