This issue of Scale Model Life looks at building, stripping, painting, and detailing die-cast model cars and trucks. Why accept a die-cast car as it comes in the box? Now you can strip it, modify it, add details, and repaint it to match your style! From pre-painted model cars, to modifications on pre-assembled ones, you can mix and match, swap wheels, repaint them, and make the model car you always wanted.
