"A Tale of Three Birds"
#43 Richard Petty (1970 Motor Trend 500) - Car 1 of 3
by: nolimitphil
Preface:
Greetings, fellow Stunod Racing members! This is my first foray into sharing paint schemes with the NR2003 community!
When it comes to modeling, you could say I'm a rivet counter. Each paint scheme I produce is intended to be prototypical to the race-specific vehicle it is based on, referencing historical photographs and archival footage. This means accurate contingency stickers, sponsors, etc., for every individual file.
Each download contains a high and low resolution version.
Hi-Res: 2048x2048 car / 1024x1024 pit
Low-Res: 1024x1024 car / 512x512 pit
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do!
Background:
BEEP BEEP!
The 1970 Plymouth Superbird made its race debut at the Motor Trend 500 at Riverside International Raceway, with a total of three entries:
- #1 Roger McCluskey (Norm Nelson Automotive)
- #42 Dan Gurney (Petty Enterprises)
- #43 Richard Petty (Petty Enterprises) - this page's featured download
"A Tale of Three Birds" is a 3-car set by nolimitphil of these historic vehicles. This page includes the individual download of Richard Petty's paint scheme. Driver rating is generated by NRatings (SnyderArt v2.0 rating formula) for 1/18/1970 Motor Trend 500 at Riverside.
If you like my work and would like see more, please provide feedback!
Trivia:
In the year prior (1969), Richard Petty won the Nascar Grand National Series season-opening race at Riverside International Raceway -- while also making in his debut appearance in a Ford. Switching back to Plymouth to start the 1970 season, would history repeat itself?
