gtx6970 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I'm in no way familair with early Pontiacs .And I want to do this one. So I have to ask, is this a 1961 Catalina or 1961 Bonneville ? http://www.decalsbyl...rs_of_1961.html If it's a Catalina was there ever a 1/25th scale version back it the day ?, as all I can find are 1961 Bonneville kits Edited August 15, 2012 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Jackson Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That would be a 61 Catalina. As far as I know there weren't any 1/25 kit versions of the Catalina produced. If you're interested in redoing a diecast, there is a 1/18 scale 61 catalina out there. If you're interested in working with a resin body MCW produces a ' 61 Catalina bubbletop in resin. Here's a pic of it from their site. http://www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com/resin/61pontcatht.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks, Thats what I was afraid of .all I could find was 1961 Bonneville kits Sorry 1/18th scale is a no go for me. I prefer to keep everything at 1/25th scale if at all possibile I will look into the MCW body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yep, that's a Cat. You can tell by the tailights. Cats had one oval shaped light per side. Bonney's had THREE circular shaped ones in a long oval shaped bezel. Hth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Oh, an MCW makes some GREAT resin bodies! I've gotten quite a few of them myself, and I'm ALWAYS pleased wit their quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 X2 On the MCW resin Catalina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I just got a Poncho from MCW in the mail this week and it looks great. Although not the Catalina, it is the '63 Tempest 421 SD 2-dr Coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
