• Question; anyone know much about Nascar kits? I know zippo. I'm wondering, whether it's MPC, Salvinos, or other- are the Nascar kit bodies, say, '71-'73 Chargers, any different than a normal kit body? Wheel wells, hoods, whatever? Or any differences?
  • The old JoHan and a few old mpc kits may have close to stock/street type bodies, other than those they will need work to make look like a street version *NM*
  • The body won't have any trim. Wheel wells (wheelbase) would be to Nascar specs I think - not stock. No inner fenders.
  • MPC's were based on stock bodies, as were Jo-Han's. Salvino's kits are dedicated NASCAR versions (were never showroom stock) so theirs will be tweaked all over like the actual cars were *NM*
  • There are two NASCAR kits that I can think of that come with completely stock bodies…
  • Just FYI. Salvino's & Monogram are 1/24. The others are 1/25.😎 *NM*
    • Salvino’s 1970s era kits (Dodges, Plymouths, Culasses, Monte Carlos) are all 1:25. Their 1980s ex-Monogram kits are 1:24, as are their current NASCAR kits. *NM*
      • I was referring to Salvino's current NASCAR kits. *NM*
        • I see. I thought you meant Salvinos Dodge Chargers, etc. *NM*
