Dale Earnhardt
Dale Earnhardt is THE legend of NASCAR. “The Intimidator,” the driver of the #3, thrilled the fans, intimidated his fellow drivers, and shaped the American Cup Series like hardly anyone else.
He was born on April 29, 1951, in Kannapolis, North Carolina, and died in a crash in the final turn of the legendary Daytona 500, the “Great American Race,” on February 18, 2001. To this day, the crowd and the commentators fall silent on the third lap of the Daytona 500 and hold up three fingers in remembrance of Dale Earnhardt.
His black Chevy with the number 3 was and still is the trademark of Dale Earnhardt, the father of Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won the Daytona 500 for the second time in the 2014 season. During his 27-year career as a race car driver, Dale Earnhardt competed in 676 Cup races, scored 76 wins in the Cup series alone, and won seven championships.
The Model Kit
This Monogram model kit from 1995 is a Chevrolet Monte Carlo in probably the most famous design in NASCAR – the black number 3.
The parts are molded in black and clear. Chrome-plated parts and black vinyl tires are included.
A very nice model for the display case or for building a high-performance slot car according to the Sakatsu / Thunder rules. Compared to other NASCAR model kits, the body is relatively light. This makes it easy to reach the required minimum weight for the NASCAR124 slot racing series.
Notice
