I remember that my Dad bought me this issue way way back as I was a fan of the century fighters (F-100, Voodoo, Thud, etc..), but what had a more lasting impression on me was Coulter's NASCAR car article, I remember it lingering around the house for years, and always a source of inspiration to build something outside of my wheelhouse. Thanks for the memory, new subscriber here
Just realized, you can Google Bill Coulter and his many books on modeling will come up. The book I spoke of is the bound red cover with the #88 car. He also did a pricing guide on kits.
@@lesokunowski1919 HA! I never thought about that. I'm 63 and online searching or Amazon normally aren't the first thing that pops into my head. Thanks, I'll go look now.
That is great article , I was able to pick a copy up cheap. I can always use good tips on Nascar builds. I have been building them since I was a teen , but have never seen this article. Thanks
That was a great article to start the chassis with. A lot of the routing of plumbing in the cars varies from team to team, even car to car on the same team. Look at pictures of the 8 car and the 12 car from the 1988 Daytona 500… both from Stavola Brothers Racing but had different openings in the front facia. Still a very good article, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for digging out an old magazine again! Totally love it when you do. I think I have this issue. If I saw a model magazine with a Nascar model on the cover, I bought it! In my eyes, Bill Coulter is a god! Have a couple of his books.
Another great source was the Scale Auto Enthusiast 20th Anniversary Edition April 1999 with the Pontiac Grand Prix detail tips article. God those magazines were great.
There was a magazine/book in the later 80’s that was I believe a reprint of a multi part article from Scale Auto that covered the Mountain Dew Buick. The article was by Ronald Spannraft. The book is Building Model Cars: the best of Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine Volume II 1979-1984….could be worth a look as well.
56 year old Canadian viewer: I remember buying this magazine when it first came out, and still have it, in some stack of old model car magazines. Thanks for the reminder.
Great stuff Luka! Thanks for sharing. I've started going back through some of my old builds. I am also doing a bunch of bench/display cars. Meaning that I'm going SUPER detailing with them! Thanks to channels like yours & Mark Batson's y'all have inspired me to step it up again. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hello Luka, very good article on Fine Scale with Bill Couter. I have the magazine from 88 that was kind of "forgotten" in the pile and with your video I'm going to reread it again. I have a mini lathe and I have already made several pieces, which improves the overall appearance of the assembly. Thanks for the video !
I’m working on a few 80’s NASCAR kits right now, and I’m sure I will find the article very helpful. Can’t wait until it is uploaded on the Facebook page. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a trip in time i remember buying this magazine when i was in highschool and i was building Nascar's sadly i lost my entire collection of model cars and magazines when we moved to a new house.
There is an outstanding Hobby Shop in Tucson. It's a part of an Ace Hardware store. They are listed. I haven't been to Tucson in about 16 years. So I'm not much in the know of the area. No shows that I'm aware of down there. Next show in the Southwest is the Vegas show in August. I advertise it at the beginning of my videos.
As I plan to restart this hobby after a 30-year layoff, I have a box with 5 or 6 1980s NASCAR models. Why are they all falling apart? Did I make a mistake or maybe a series of mistakes?

You have no idea what you are missing out, on.
As I plan to restart this hobby after a 30-year layoff, I have a box with 5 or 6 1980s NASCAR models. Why are they all falling apart? Did I make a mistake or maybe a series of mistakes?
