Model Forum / General / Models / July 2009Nascar Decal Sheets - A 1/35 racing car ?
anyone know of Nascar decal sheets, full of sponsor logos, etc. and anyone know of a race car kit (Indy, Funny, etc) that might be close enough in scale to a 1/35 tank? With a driver too. feel like doing a silly fantasy diorama... thx - Craig > anyone know of Nascar decal sheets, full of sponsor logos, etc. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > thx - Craig Not decals, but stickers - AMT and Mono did a series of 1/32 NASCAR Snap kits in the early 90s that should be close enough. I'm pretty sure they did not come with drivers. A helmeted 1/32 pilot figure might be a start for a driver.

Some modelers have plunked 1/25th car bodies on 1/35th tank/track chassis to make monster vehicles before...the proportions are close enough to make it possible. Which also makes the converse a possibility too--a tank hull w/turret on top of a modified race car suspension. FWIW, back in the early Nineties I had the idea to convert a 1/28th Japanese dune-buggy kit to a 1/35th armored car...but gave up on it due to lack of suitable parts.

WmB > anyone know of Nascar decal sheets, full of sponsor logos, etc. Back in the '60s I can recall having a 1:32 decal sheets of the major component suppliers stickers for use on my slot cars. Back in those days 1:32 was more a UK thing, with 1:24/1:25 prevailing in the US. However, I suspect something similar may still be available. > and anyone know of a race car kit (Indy, Funny, etc) that might be > close enough in scale to a 1/35 tank? With a driver too. > > feel like doing a silly fantasy diorama... Well, I've seen "Army" and "National Guard" NASCAR cars, so a Tank with "NASCAR" on it... Real life can be silly too, I seem to recall a street-legal Daimler Dingo Coupe back in the '70s - trafficators, spot lights, cut down armour - also chrome wide wheels and a metallic purple paint job... Once had a hankering to pop a shortened Kubelwagen body on the Airfix Beach Buggy chassis, but never got round to it... Regards, > - Craig Moramarth : and anyone know of a race car kit (Indy, Funny, etc) that might be : close enough in scale to a 1/35 tank? With a driver too. Why not use a 1/25 scale tank? Tamiya did several in the 70's that are still available. T-34/85, Centurian, Su-100 come to mind. Else, you are probably going to be looking at a 1/32 scale car, which aren't plentiful, but are available.
