Confirming this is the fact that there are a zillion of those cars on the road today.\u00c2\u00a0 Many people that drive these cars would like to own a model of their vehicle but the bad news is there are none presently available.\u00c2\u00a0 Waiting for a plastic model is futile since the last time a current model year family four door sedan was issued; I think Nixon was In the Whitehouse!\u00c2\u00a0 The good news is that recent rule changes for NASCAR vehicles is forcing the teams to provide bodies that more closely resemble the real cars they represent. The model companies are still making NASCAR kits and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where we come in!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easier than you think to make a model of your car! <\/strong>There are a few different ways to approach it, but we can show you how to take a current NASCAR model kit and turn it into a reasonable representation of your vehicle with practically no modeling experience and minimal tools. Of course, there are different degrees of conversion, and in this review we will stick to what are known as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153slammer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d models.\u00c2\u00a0 Slammers are models with no interiors or opening hoods or engines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Different Strokes For Different Folks:<\/strong> This review converts the 2015 release of the Joey Logano #22 Shell Penzoil Ford Fusion 1:24 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-1473 into a four door late model sedan. Of course, you will need to buy the kit for its body and <a title=\"000c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/26107848184\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1559\/26107848184_e025850e43_n.jpg\" alt=\"000c\" width=\"320\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a> stickers.\u00c2\u00a0 For the simplest version you would also need some spray paint, putty filler, fine sand paper, and some flat plastic sheet (approximately .020\u00e2\u20ac\u009d thick) clear or opaque from packaging material, white glue or tape, and a hobby knife.\u00c2\u00a0 It is also desirable to have a digital camera, printer and photo software to make printouts and decals to add realism and personalization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Adding even more realism and customization for your model, the silver version above, requires a moderate knowledge of model building techniques and some plastic stock like Evergreen Products (sold at hobby stores or online). Additional features can be added with a small bottle of flat black paint and a small brush.\u00c2\u00a0 You could even take the model further buy using clear windows and a donor kit to provide an interior \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but that goes beyond the scope of this article.\u00c2\u00a0 For any version, you can make a Fusion that looks like yours if: you can scratch a line with a hobby knife, print out photos to size, and use a can of spray paint to match your vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Build It:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 The full article will take you Step-by-Step through the process of converting a NASCAR Ford Fusion into a factory stock vehicle in two versions. In version one, we show you how to construct the parts of the basic kit that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need.\u00c2\u00a0 Filling and finishing old seams; creating new panel lines; making the wheels look like yours; using a combination of the kit\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stickers and homemade printouts or decals to add realism; adding factory options like a sunroof and making custom license plates with your camera and \u00c2\u00a0printer.\u00c2\u00a0 In the second version, we take it a bit further for those having some moderate modeling skills with the addition of body trim; adding foil accents; installing a sunroof; modifying body features for realism; adding a muffler and constructing a roof mounted aerial.\u00c2\u00a0 All of these things are fully examined in this <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>26 page, full-color<\/strong> <\/span>Step-by-Step tutorial in PDF format.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/?page_id=2932\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>100% money back guarantee!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click the <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Buy Now<\/strong> <\/span>link below to purchase the full Step-by-Step review for <strong>$2.95 USD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/><br \/>\n<input name=\"hosted_button_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"E75E9NGZKXY4C\" \/><br \/>\n<input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92016 All rights reserved. *All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.
