Ok, so when Ace announced he was doing the 2016/2017 Smithfield Ford sheet, I got a bit excited. I squirreled away a few kits and planned on a nice build of Petty builds. Well, that went out the window. I found more kits on clearance, bought more decals and combined sources to build many more than I originally planned. All use Tamiya TS-10 French Blue, Revell kits, and Ace decals for the major markings, but others will be called out as well. So let me present, my 2014-2017 #43 Smithfield collection:
2014: Revell snap kit Additional: MPR decals for the hood "Helping Hungry Homes", deck lid "Smithfield" and a few other markings, and Stoney's 2013-2015 Ford markings sheet for the nose markings and 2015 STP sheet for the sponsor cluster and the vertical "Fresh from Florida" (and I have plans for the rest of that sheet...)
2015: Revell snap kit Stoney's 2013-2015 Ford markings sheet for the nose markings
2016: Revell snap kit with my attempt at a 2016 nose update.
2017: Revell glue kit. I modified the rear to super speedway specs to reflect Aric's best 2017 finish, 4th in the Daytona 500
2017, Bubba Wallace's first Monster Energy Cup start. Revell glue kit.
And a shot comparing the rear of the Wallace and Almirola 2017 builds:
