Carrera Dave Marcis Dodge

Just had this great car show up at the door.

Based on one of the great drivers of that era, I think Carrera has done VERY well.





This car is just attractive. The colors and stampings are as good as you could ask for. I did notice one of the hood CID numbers seemed a little crooked, but nothing glaring and certainly nothing that takes away from it.







This is one of the best series of slot cars we have in our hobby. This is a true legacy series and it just got better by +1. Each year we see more and more and that allows newcomers the chance to enjoy them. And with the best price point in the hobby (I paid under $35.00) it makes it even better.

Thanks Carrera for another fine model in this series. We look forward to each and every one.

Harry,

Definitely a winner in my book. Kudos to Carrera for continuing to release these cars.

Best regards,
Brian

That is a great car. Just a great car! After Carrera's help with the school kids again, this is at the top of my list to buy this weekend. Man! That is awesome!

This was Dodge Daytona #5. 6 if you count the Captain Carrera Starship :)

Would like to see Don White next year.

[HomeRacingWorld]

Yes sir, I have them. Actually the set I have is from 6 or 7 years ago.

I'm just lazy :)

But maybe you are right...gives me something to do.

Man I want a Don White car…….sat in front of his pit at the
Memphis 200 that Roger McCluskey won back in the early '70's.

Who make those Don White decals ?
Also 1/32 McCluskey ?
Thanks

You could do the Don White car using the Ober Logging one as the starter.

Well, that is a Plymouth and the one I want to do is a Dodge. But thanks for the help.

Besides, even to remove the decals and to alter the body how I want to TRY and o would make it a full repaint.

Now I just need to get the decals, have another one of these Marcis cars set aside for it.

Don't you just cringe a little when you start to strip down a great looking car like this?

Looking at mine, they sure look like decals.

[HomeRacingWorld]

I mentioned that one seemed slightly crooked.

But my second one is ok.

But yes, they look to be waterslide decals.

But not bad...still looks great to me. I did not notice at first until I started looking closer.

[HomeRacingWorld]

I inspected both cars under my magnifier (old guy light). The sides are perfect and appear like normal tampo stamped paint, and have a decent clear coat over them.

Here is the hood the best I can do it.





It is hardly noticeable. Once you move the car about 1 foot away you cannot even tell. They are also CLEARED pretty will which hides the seam pretty good.

I clear most of my cars (not just Carrera) with Future to protect them a little better anyway, so go ahead and give it a shot.
