Dale Earnhardt's 1998 Goodwrench Monte Carlo


Intro

My Dad built this one way before my modeling interest started. It looks like a quality job, but of course the years of being exposed to room air and cigarette smoke have taken their toll on the decals and glue.

First Thoughts



Kit Quality

Kit quality looks very good for 1988. It makes me wonder if Monogram kept updating their NASCAR kits year after year with no quality change. The 1990 Kulwicki car looks to have about the same quality of this kit.

The Build



Final Comments

Since this kit's been getting pretty shaky recently, I might end up trying to find some new decals and restoring it. However, it would probably be smart to wait until the glue loosens more. It still looks decent if you look at it right, though. :)

Some bad decal wearing, but similar to what Dale usually left the front looking like after a race. How would you like to see this coming into your rearview? :)
