My 13th completed build is Darrell Waltrip's #17 Tide Chevy Monte Carlo from 1987.
Kit and decals are both by Monogram.

Waltrip drove this #17 Tide Chevy for Rick Hendrick from 1987 to 1990. For 87, 88 and the first 1/3 of the 89 seasons it was this Monte Carlo before NASCAR made the switch to Lumina's in May 1989.

Waltrip won 6 races in the Tide Monte Carlo, most famously his Daytona 500 win in 1989, though that car was the Tide with Bleach ride.

Waltrip started his own team in 1991 taking the #17 with him and getting sponsorship from Western Auto.

Car was painted Krylon Fusion White, and Tamiya Yellow. Then like my other Tide model it was given 3 coats of Tamiya Florescent Red followed by 1 coat of Tamiya Bright Orange.
