awhitegt Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 As a former 64 Galaxie owner I have to say that this car presses all the right buttons. I hope I don't start waking up with the idea that I have to have another one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonW Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 It's a beautiful build. One question - why does it have a scoop and then two cold air feeds from the front of the car? Where does the air from the scoop go? Sorry that's two questions! I wish I could build to that standard tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 O.K., so when you say "full detail build" what you actually mean is "superlative example of the pinnacle of model car craftsmanship". Have I got that about right? No need to answer; the other replies have pretty much put paid to that one. I can't possibly list all the stunning details that jump out at me here, but that engine, I think, deserves special mention. Thanks for sharing this.

Cold air goes in thru the air feeds from the front of the car and the hot engine air goes out the scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Wow, wow, wow, that is one stunning build of a great car. You definitely done it justice and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuzzed Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Wow. I built one of the original kits back in late '64 and it didn't turn out anything like that! Seriously, that is one truly nice model- should definitely be a feature in a magazine or two. Set it up outside, take a few pictures and you'll have a lot of people wondering "It's not real?" Very, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 OK, just scanned through all the notes again, and I either missed it or it is not there, but what did you use for the interior side panesl to eliminate the dog legs? I too am doing a build similar, and while I cut up most of the interior to use, I just do NOT like the side panel detail. Is there a resin piece?

I too am doing a build similar, and while I cut up most of the interior to use, I just do NOT like the side panel detail. Is there a resin piece? I made the side panels from layers of sheet styrene . The pleats are half round styrene rods heated to bend over the top edge . The handles were removed from the AMT 1960 Starliner kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Excellent! But, unfortunately, that lousy-fitting hood takes a lot away from the overall appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Cold air goes in thru the air feeds from the front of the car and the hot engine air goes out the scoop. Thanks - I always thought the air went in the scoop like the TransAm shaker scoop or some tunnel ram scoops - even though they face backwards, they pick up the slow moving high pressure air between the scoop and the windscreen. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
