These are my latest builds based on my latest kit of the 1966 Corvair. I started with a 3D model, had it SLS printed through a service and then did a ton of finishing work. Here's a quick walk through:

The first one I completed - Don Eichstaedt's Corvair as raced in the 1966 Trans-Am Series. All paints were Duplicolor automotive spray with a bunch of decals from my parts box. The stripes are decals as well. A few topcoats of clear and after decals were applied I gave it 3 coats of Future with a brush. PCS32 chassis, CBB aluminum wheels, slot gears, H&R 18k motor and Paul Gage urethane tires:

I then decided to tackle the Yenko Stinger driven by MacGrotty/Riley/Myers in the 1966 Sebring 12 hour race held the weekend of the initial 1966 Trans-Am race. For this car I built my first ever brass chassis. CBB aluminum wheels, slot gears, H&R 18k motor and Paul Gage urethane tires when done. The rear Yenko spoiler is in the kit, but I made the sailpanels and rear vents for this build out of styrene:

I hand-laid all of the stripes for this one in two stages:

Since I have a 3-lane track, it only makes sense to make Donna Mae Mimm's car next!
