Build NASCAR Models from Kits
Step1
Get the NASCAR model kit of your choice at your local toy store, hobby store or department store.
Step2
Set out all the parts in the model kit on a flat, dry surface.
Step3
Compare the parts in front of you to the parts listed on the instruction sheet that came with the kit. Make sure all the parts listed are present.
Step4
Keep the instruction sheet near you, so you can refer to it as you put the model together.
Step5
Attach the tires to the car first. Make sure they don't touch the fenders. Be certain to follow the instruction manual to ensure you're putting the tires on properly.
Step6
Build the interior parts of the car. This includes the seats and steering wheel, as well as the engine parts that go under the hood. This will likely involve using small amounts of model glue.
Step7
Use model paint to paint the car. Most model kit builders choose to follow the painting instructions that come with the car, so the finished car looks like the one on the box. However, you can choose to paint your car any way you like.
Step8
Allow the paint to dry.
Step9
Affix any decals that came with the model kit. Use the finished car on the box as a guide for where to place the decals.
