Bobby Allison’s 1982 Race Winning Buick Regal in 1/24th scale includes 100+ parts, Power Slide decals and REAL electroplated chrome!
Robert Arthur Allison (born December 3, 1937) is a former American professional stock car racing driver and owner. Named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers,[1] he was the 1983 Winston Cup champion and won the Daytona 500 three times in 1978, 1982, and 1988. His two sons, Clifford and Davey Allison, followed him into racing, and both died within a year of each other.
Following his victory at Daytona, Allison's car was inspected and was found to have lost its rear bumper, which appeared to have fallen off in a slight bump between two cars at the beginning of the race, causing a multi-car accident. Tests were performed on the car without its rear bumper and it was discovered that the car was faster and handled better without the bumper (better underside aerodynamics and over 70lbs. lighter). It has been claimed that Allison and his crew modified the bumper so that it would fall off easily at the beginning of the race. NASCAR never fined him and the victory stands. Allison and his crew denied the allegations. In the Allison biography Miracle, Allison explained that NASCAR inspectors told the DiGard crew to move the bumper on its mounting points. The team simply tack-welded the bumper back on at an acceptable position, but "forgot" to properly secure it.
During the course of his career, Bobby Allison accumulated 84 credited victories and 2 uncredited victories making him fourth all-time, tied with Darrell Waltrip. He also won the Daytona 500 in 1978, 1982 and 1988, finishing one-two with his son, Davey Allison. In 1972 he was voted national Driver of the Year after winning ten races and taking 11 poles, including a record 5 straight. He was NASCAR Winston Cup Champion in 1983[1], winning the Driver of the Year award again while driving for DiGard Racing. The 1982 Daytona 500 was fraught with controversy that became known as "Bumpergate". He also won the Firecracker 400 in 1982, making Allison the fourth driver to sweep both Sprint Cup point races at Daytona in the same year. Of note, after Allison accomplished this, no driver repeated such a feat until Jimmie Johnson did it in 2013.
Allison ran in the Indianapolis 500 twice, with a best finish of 25th in 1975. His NASCAR team owners included DiGard, Junior Johnson & Associates, and Roger Penske, for whom Allison scored four of the five NASCAR wins for American Motors' Matador. The other AMC victory was accomplished by Mark Donohue also racing for Penske in 1973 at Riverside. He raced in NASCAR as a driver/owner of an AMC Matador
Early in the 1979 Daytona 500, Bobby, his brother Donnie and rival Cale Yarborough tangled early in the race. Donnie led the second half of the race while Yarborough made up his lost laps through caution periods. By the time there were 8 laps to go, Yarborough reached second place and set his eyes on passing Donnie. Bobby was two laps down and was 1/4 mile ahead of the two rivals as Yarborough and Donnie crashed on the final lap. Richard Petty went by and won the race. Bobby passed the wreckage, finished the race, and on his way back around Bobby stopped to check on his brother and make sure he wasn't hurt. He pulled over to the wreck site to offer Donnie a ride to the garage area. Cale Yarborough ran up to Bobby and, according to Bobby, Cale was yelling that Bobby was at fault and hit him in the face with his helmet-cutting his nose and his lip. Bobby climbed out and a fist-fight broke out.
This fight led to a $6,000 fine for each Yarborough and the Allison brothers.

The 1980s Nascar cars have left a lasting impression that will never be replicated. I hope these model car companies are prosperous and continue because they sure are making some great kits. We are in the midst of a new hayday if you will, of model car building. You can not find any older kits cheap anymore, just about every kit on ebay has bids. It is a good time to be in the hobby. Thanx Chris!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by the channel and watching!

I loved building those G body NASCARS back in the day.
Heck yes!
I built the old Monogram, ERTL & AMT NASCAR kits back in the day. I am planning on building the Salvino kits because of you my friend! Thank you for the best how to video's on youtube!
Go for it, they are a lot of fun! Thank you!
Chris I watch all your your builds on Wednesday and Saturday and you never disappoint sometimes I watch them over and over again.
Oh My GOD , you hit that 1 on the head there . I had over 8 of those kits. I was right into NASCAR in the 80's and love those kits. I used to have mix my own Testors paints to get the proper colors. You didn't get the stripes a lot of the time back then. I'm surprised you never built these kits as a young lad, I feel old now!!!!!
Thanks Earl, I was only about 6-10 years old when Dad was doing them, they were out of my skill set and by the time I was old enough the cars were more of the 90s style rounded off cars and I wasn't that into them.
As someone who has been a Nascar fan since the good old days, this brings back memories of when racing was racing. Very nice work.
Thanks Jim!
Just went to the modelroundup site and ordered this kit Chris. Will be ordering the others as time and money permits. This was my favorite era of NASCAR racing. Love your videos and car builds. Keep up the great work Chris. You’re an inspiration my friend. Steve
Awesome, thank you!
Just getting back into it thanx for that total flashback as soon as I seen the pop up I knew what when an where now that's an awesome video dude I'm just blown away I do remember that one cool,cool,cool have to keep an eye out for that throw back
Thanks a lot Stephen!
Excellent review and built Chris, my son has most of the Mongram NASCAR racers built in his hobby room. He will be glad these are available again!!
Thanks Ron!
These old NASCAR models are by far my favorite. I'm an avid collector of diecasts. And I want to start building these. I hope one day you'll do Dale Earnhardt's Wrangler car.
I hope they get a chance to have that license too, that was my most favorite one!
i had this car when i was a kid and i got 2 of these kits i hope they release a lot more of these old nascars thanks for the video sir
Thanks, they have so much cool stuff planned!
@@hpiguy yes sir
Thank you for taking the time to do your reviews and builds. I enjoy your presentation style. I am rounding the bend on 60, and during the past year started modeling after 45 years. My father and I would build them together. My first grandchild just arrived and I look forward to modeling with him one day. You tips and tricks are all valuable and extremely helpful. Not only are they useful, they help me think outside the proverbial box. Again, thank you and I look forward to future builds and reviews.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Very nice job yes sir a trip down memory lane thank you
Thanks Marc!
Man it looks as good as some of my dicast NASCAR, awesome build love it. 👍👍👍😃
Thanks!
I got to make time in my life to get back into building models again! So many late nights as a kid, Mountain Dew, radio, my arsenal of special tools, brushes and clamps, Testors paint and glue fumes.
Love how you bang em out!
Always wanted that big scale Jaguar kit. I think it had roll up windows? Don’t know if they re-released it or not though? Even creepy ones like Visible man and woman or the Aruora(?) classic monsters were awesome too! My bedroom was weird as hell! No wonder I never got layed😁
I love anything model related and love to push the envelope and show what's out there for all tastes.
Grab and kit and start building there is so much stuff to find these days. :)
Chris you are a truly awsome builder, and another awsome build🙂🙂
Thanks a lot!
Another great job, Chris! I have been following NASCAR since at least 1982, so seeing you build this kit definitely brings back a lot of memories of watching legends like Bobby Allison out there getting it done.
Thanks James, more to come!
That is a great looking model, Chris! It is neat to see just how good these kits were when new and now with the updates, even better. Thanks for the review!
Thanks bud!
Chris you're spot-on about no side window glass. In the replay a crew member helps to push the car to Victory Lane. He has a hand on the back of the passenger side B-pillar.
Thanks a lot! Happy Holidays!
Looks really good - I remember watching those races, back in the day.
Thank you!
What a beautiful looking kit! Well done!
Thanks!
Looks awesome, I built a lot of those back in the day and still have them all on display. thanks for showing. Ron
Thanks Ron!
Another awesome build Chris!! Well Done..!!
Thank you Cliff!
I think this is one of your best builds yet keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Richard!
love these older nascar kits....had a toy version of this car as a kid , it must of been at least a foot long with just a shell body....it was one of my favorite toys growing up back then .
Awesome!
I love the music you use during the painting process
Man.....seems like you have amazing memories with this build.......super cool!!!!
Thanks for watching!

Solvino s is out doing any of the other model companies with decals and chrome quality. Great kits!
They take pride in their kits, awesome to have them in business.
"Basket weaving." LMFAO!! Not in my wheelhouse, but, stellar job as usual, and those decals are "EXCELLENT!" Thanks, Keanu...
Thanks Paul!
So sweet! Great representation!
Thanks zman!
Dude awesome job! Those race cars in the early 80’s looked great! This car turned out flawlessly! I’m always amazed at your talent! Enjoy your weekend my friend
Thanks a lot Tim, you too!
great job as always love those Salvinos kits hope they’ll make in the near future Ford T-Birds , Chevy Monte Carlo and Luminas, Pontiac GP and some NHRA kits
Thanks Ed, I'm betting we'll see all kinds of cool ones.
Loved those monograms wish they wouldnt have stopped making them but i see they've done better and improved as always great build.
Thanks Robert!
Nice video I remember a friend of mine his dad or stp dad had a row of the race cars above the fire place. It was cool.
I use to love to build race cars as street cars, leave the window nets out put in 2 seats, plates, etc... I dont remember whos car it was but i built a late 70's thunderbird (aerobird) and painted it petty blue. I liked race cars cause you got better detail on engines
Nice!
Beautiful work! I'm glad it brought back happy memories for you!
Thank you very much!
The model looks great! Could you do a video for beginners, that would talk about the tools ( like tweezers, brushes, sand paper) and paints to buy, and some basic techniques like applying decals, etc? I would find it super helpful, as I would like to build a model soon! Thank you very much!
He has tons of video's that would answer alot of your questions.
Hey man, the tool stuff is your basic stuff and I'll mention it in videos.
I did a big video on applying decals to the Enterprise D, check that review out.
Thanks!
Hi Chris -- which super glue do you use to attach painted parts to the painted chassis/engine ? I know that people have had issues with some kinds of CA crazing/fogging. Thanks !
Dollar store super glue. If you don't use too much it rarely fogs. If it does fog, Future floor polish clears it over nicely.
Chris, great build again. If I may make a suggestion, maybe the roll cage would have look great if it was green. When you were talking about your Dad building kits when you were a kid, I also remember my Dad doing the same time. I'm 52 now and in 1975 he built me and 75 Nova hatchback, and did I love the car, he also built a F-5E Tiger2. He painted the instrument panel one side red the other green, I thought that was so cool. Chris thanks for those good memories, it been a long time since I thought about that. Keep you the great work. Best channel on TH-cam!
Thanks a lot Chris!
Very nice build, I remember the old "Monogram" kits, I built the "Hardees" NASCAR
There were no fit issues with the front glass in the original. it was also the first kit I detailed out
the paint job sucked, but the interior rocked lol
great job again
Thanks Joe!
Beautiful build.....you’re an inspiration
Thank you!
Stunning job
Thanks!
Awesome Chris! They don't get much cooler than this!! Thanks bud 🏁🏁👍
Thanks Whitey!
Very nicely done and a great review, sir!!! Thanks, glad to have these kits back!!!
Thanks Greg!
Phenomenal detailing on your paint job
Thanks!
Mellow booth music suddenly turned Irish ♡
Great build (again)
Thanks bud!
Great video, brings back memories
Thanks Todd!
Looks awesome
Thanks buddy!
Hi Chris -- which matt clear did you end up using on this kit chrome ? In the video you mentioned several -- Rustoleum and "stuff from Hobby Lobby". I just was wondering which you ended up using on this one because those wheels look spot-on compared to the 1:1 car ! Thanks.
Any Matte clear works well to dull chrome. Whatever you can get your hands on.
@@hpiguy Super thanks. Did you see my other question about which decal solution you are using ? Many thanks.
Thanks. Kit looks like fun to build.
Nice and easy buildup!
I noticed right away all the Salvino kits are identical beneath the body. Once you've built one, you've built them all. That said, they're great kits and a lot of fun the build. I'm on my third kit.
All the old Monogram stock car kits are the same underneath, yes.
You're on a roll Chris! Great job, really enjoy your videos!
Thanks Gene!
Sweet build as always! This does bring back memories. One of my first builds when I was about 7 or 8, so this would have been around 1984-85, was the Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew version of this Regal - which I hope Salvinos has in the pipeline because I will certainly buy it. At that time I wasn’t painting my kits yet and of course my skill in quality assembly wasn’t great either, but this does bring back great memories! As I got older and built more kits from different model manufacturers I always had a soft spot for the Monogram company and thought their instructions were among the easiest and clearest to follow in the business. As a side note - this was from when NASCAR ruled and close to the end of the “Stock Car” part of the acronym. When the G bodies went front wheel drive and V6 in 1988 there was nothing stock about the cars anymore. People our generation and older are going to love these reissue kits and buy them - because NASCAR ain’t what it used to be.
I know of a few re-issues coming up and I know they read these comments so I'm sure all kinds of ideas are in the pipe and we'll see so much cool stuff coming up!
Another great build up!
Thanks!
Hi Chris: I just FINISHED my Salvinos JR Bobby Allison Gatorade Buick -- many thanks to your great video ! I was wondering - the sidewalls on the tires on your model appear to have a bit more of a "luster" to them -- mine are a bit more "gray" ? and not a nice black luster. Did you treat them with something ? Thanks !
Nope mine are box stock
Chris, beautiful build once again, thanks for the building to do's that ppl like me have for got about!
Thanks!
I remember watching him win the 500 in the Regal, cool video Chris, nice build!....Bill
Thank you Bill!
Super sweet looking car, especially with those decals. You are just a professional at doing this period.
--Dave
Thanks a lot Dave!
Hi Chris:
Thank you for making these videos. As I said, I FINISHED my Salvinos JR Gatorade Buick kit with a lot of help from your great video!
Here is my question. I used the Rustoleum 2X black primer on the roll cage/chassis assembly for my kit. What I noticed was that it really didn't feel "dry" or "hard" even after drying for a full day in very low humidity. You had indicated in your videos that it dries in 30 min. in your shop. Have you encountered this with this paint ? It seemed like even after several days it felt "tacky" to the touch. Thanks for any guidance you could provide.
If my primer feels 'wet' I just hit it with the heat gun and you can see it go flat and dry. After hundreds and hundreds of these videos, no issues yet.
Make sure you shake it well, and lay down light coats.
I love your videos and they inspire me to get into model building. My only suggestion is lets see more of the decal work like you did on the Tim Richmond video.
Hmmm, if only I had done a video on a stock car where I did the decals and floor polish again within the last week or so..... ;)
Helps to subscribe and hit the 'get notifications' bell, so you'll get notice of all the new videos every week. Thanks man!
Loved this car!
Me too!
Wow! Stunning!
Thanks Phillip!
That came out as a beautiful car
Thanks Mike!
Outstanding video and presentation
Sweet! Great timing!!
Thanks!
What tool did you use to cut the headers out where they are joined together underneath the oil pan? Did you have to sand & putty a lot?
Just a side nipper. I didn't worry about filling, etc.
Awesome build brother
Thanks Charlie!
Win on Sunday, sell on Monday! The older NASCAR race cars are so much nicer vs the cookie cutter cars that race now.
paul lomych I like your view point on the cars.
I agree Rich, they look a lot like their real street counterparts.
Beautiful job bro!!! That is really awesomely awesome!!! I liked and subscribed and all that nice stuff, have a great one and I'll be 👀 all your vids now.
Thanks Curtis!
Nice.... It was one of my favorite kits feom the 80s. Almost perfect out of the box. The front sit a bit high but an easy fix.
I still have my 22 Miller High Life car.
hi...where did you find the 22 Miller High Life car?...or at least what model company made it?
@@PEEPNME Your gonna have to do some searching. They pop up on Ebay somtimes.
Chris, before attempting to build that kit myself I have a quick question about the Pledge Clear Acrylic coating. Do you put the Pledge on after all the decals have been applied or before the decals are applied?
Since this will be my first time building one of those sharp NASCAR kits I'd hate to ruin it in the final stage, almost like hitting the wall just before crossing the finish line, lol.
As usual, that is one exceptional build my friend! I absolutely love watching you build those kits on here. I was thinking about saving your videos for a library reference in the future if that's ok with you? Take care and keep 'em coming my friend.
Check out my recent review of the Camaro Concept, I go over Future application. It's super easy.
@@hpiguy I'm heading there now my friend, thanks Chris.
Awesome job mate !
Thanks Gary!
Always love watching you build models brother 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 build a Van next lol
Thanks Skip!
Awesome build just got mine in the mail,,,just finishing up a #26 Ricky Rudd Quaker state Buick first was wondering what kind of glue you use
I prefer Bondene and Tamiya Thin myself but all liquid glues work fine.
hpiguys Workshop ok great thanks for the reply
Was this clear coated post decaling? Or is that the gloss level of the applied transfers?
Cleared with Future after decals to seal them in.
Hey Chris:
I'm building the Salvinos JR Bobby Allison Gatorade Buick kit that you did the review on -- I sprayed the air cleaner and radiator with Rustoleum 2X Matt Clear and the finish was "grainy" or "splochty" -- not smooth. I'd post a picture, but not sure I can here. Fearing the same outcome for the wheels, I used Testors Dullcote Lacquer (#1260) and they came out smooth as silk. Now, the only difference between the two was that for the wheels, I first scrubbed them and soaked them in the Simple Green bath for 30 min. first (I didn't do that for the air cleaner and radiator). But I was curious what product you use from Hobby Lobby that you hinted at in the build video ? Thanks.
Treehouse Studios Matte Clear
Very well done thank you.
Thanks Mark!
23:00 story of my modeling life!! Glad I’m not alone.
Thanks!
My first favorite racecar.
Nice looking build Chris. Could you give us a list of paints used and the clear for the dull coat on the chrome. I love that companys are re-releasing these older kits so we can get a second crack at building them. Companys have to realize the big demand there is on older kits, I'd love to see the early 1970s pro stock kits re-released.
Thanks Glenn,
All paints sprayed are listed by name in the painting section of the video.
Thanks Chris I don't know how I missed that DA !!!
kool , thanx....I like it
Robert
Thanks Robert!
what do you use to clear coat the model and how do you apply. tthanks love your channel
Search my channel home page for Future, lots of videos on it.
I remember sitting in front of my T.V. as a child watching these cars on nascar
You bet!
Hey Chris -- I'm loving your NASCAR kit reviews and using a lot of your tips. Hey -- I noticed that you don't attach the headers before you glue the engine into the chassis. Can you tell me why ?
Way easier to drop the engine in later with no headers on it.
@@hpiguy OK super. Thanks for the reply. I did follow your advice on the kit I'm building right now -- I didn't glue the firewall in with the roll cage. Now I'll drop the engine in and then slide the firewall in. Good stuff and thanks again for making these helpful videos. I'm getting kits done now !!!
Retails for $33 on Amazon.
I must say that your work is so artistically impressive and narration so lively and competent, you create interest in those who'd otherwise have none. Great job.
Thanks a lot Jose!
Five Star review! Nice as always my friend 👍
Thanks Jon, appreciated!
Chris -- in the video it looks like the guage decals are perfectly flat on the dashboard. It doesn't look (at least from what I can see) like you applied the guage decals over the molded guage faces ? Could you describe a bit how you applied them ? It looks super. Thanks
The Salvinos gauge decals are a good bit bigger than the molded in gauges so I just lay them over the top. They sit above the gauges and then I brush decal solvent on them and they conform nicely to the raised area.
@@hpiguy Super, thank you for that information. I was going to ask if you used any decal solution when applying the Powerslide decals. Which decal solution do you use ? And are you only using it on the guages or do you also use it on the larger decals on the body ? i.e. to help them conform and "snuggle" into the door lines, etc. ?
Hey Chris, do you sell any of your models or build any for someone like me? You are the best I've ever seen! Just had to ask.
Hi Karl, I'm flattered, but no, I don't sell anything like that. Thanks though!
@@hpiguy kinda figured that, but had to ask Chris, you are awesome at what you do! I'm definitely a big fan! Thanx
These are Awesome models!!! Made in America!!!! 🇺🇸
Yes they are!
Great looking build Chris!!! Is JR Salvinos going to reissue the 1983 Thunderbird as well?
Maybe eventually, but right now we are concentrating on GM. We are working on an 86 Pontiac 2+2, and an 81 LeMans for this chassis, and 73 & 71 Charger bodies for our 1/25th chassis; they’ll be coming out over the next year.
Awesome video as usual Chris!
Thanks Jim!
Hi VW, Jim is the JR in Salvinos so you heard directly from the boss man himself. :)
Love g body kits period...its a shame niether malibue nor grand prix's wer ever made in a good 2 or 3an1 kits.i recently got a petty nascar grand prix g body kit as its the only gran prix kit i can find....i also grabbed the old vintage mountain dew regal nascar kit and a grand national buick....just gotta grab that montee you just built and ill be g bodied up as iv got both recent g body cutlass realeases
Thanks, I have more coming up. It goes in streaks. One month the companies issue lots of GM cars, then Fords, etc. Currently it's a lot of G bodies, you'll see some cool ones coming up!
I remember building this kit back in the day. The decals in the Monogram kit was terrible. I had a whole shelf of a Monogram NASCAR model. The MPC kit were terrible. I'm going to kit back into building kits thanks to these reissues and these wonderful videos!
Thanks and enjoy your hobby Steven!
another awesome one chris, the only thing I didn't like was all the flash, you'd think as much as they charge for these kits, they could at least clean up the molds, and remove the flash!
Ya gotta give a little to get a little... These molds are incredibly expensive, massive, and decades old. Recreating them would probably put the cost through the roof. Trust me... worked in a metal stamping shop in the '70's, and when I messed up a die, the boss screamed "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU JUST COST US!!!"
Thakns Mouse.
Yeah, the pressures involved in the injection and the ages of the mold, you'll see a bit of flash, but it really only takes a swipe with a blade to remove it.
A space in a 35 year old mold the size of 1/4 a human hair will create flash.
I just got a garage diorama but it doesn’t come with a lift, where can I find a four post lift for 1/24 and 1/25 models, or what materials do I need to build one from scratch if one isn’t available
I have a review on AMT's awesome car lift kit and reviews on all their shop accessory kits too, just search my channel homepage and you'll see it. Modelroundup.com stocks it.
hpiguys Workshop thanks for the info, probably will have to get one soon!
Can you make a video of all youre kits you have built displayed we would all love to see that.
Do they have a pontiac gran prix coming ,very cool kit , like the regals
dougs videos possibly before Christmas and a LeMans among others next year
There ya go, directly from the guy (Jim Rogers) that makes them!
Looks sweet when it''s built.. those decals are beautiful! I can't get this Modge Poge glue here in Egypt, and I was wondering if I can use white glue instead? Are they similar enough that you can use either? Thanks!
Yes, white glue will work but it's not as thick.
'Gel gloss medium' for art is very similar to Mod Podge. Maybe you can get that at an art store?
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to look for that gel medium.
I build these and have for years but im not on your level. Your very talented but watching your video im going to try some things different. Great job
Thanks man, and thanks for watching!
Man I wish I could keep up with your builds. These were great. I built them all in the day?
Thanks bud, two builds per week!
nice work. How do you like that spray booth?
Works well for pulling paint dust away from the shop.
