Your most difficult kits
magicmustang replied to T-Ray's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well, thanks a lot. Because of you and Force, I drug out my Revell Chopped Deuce that I've had in my stash for over 40 years and give it another try. Man, this thing is frustrating. I did an engine swap with my leftovers from a Tweety Pie kit and it makes it even more difficult. I'm about "done" with chassis and interior but I can't get the steering column to stay glued when I try to put the interior on the chassis and the instructions are no help. I'm close to the end one way or another. There is a reason it's been out and put back several times over the past 40 years. Thanks again, guys. -

I use my tweezers from Hell! They have a deal with the carpet monster and can launch a small part so it can never be found. I keep believing it won't this time but it does.

You have a lot of work ahead of you. AMT's attempt at NASCAR stockers in those days was poor. Here's a pic of their 1/25th curbside 1983 Earnhardt Thunderbird stock car one piece chassis. LOL. The 1.25th body is fair but the glass was a joke and the interior was toyish. I kept the 1/25th body, wheels and tires, the rest went in the trash.

Don't have any, but have you tried Monogram's 1/24 Trantula or Bad Medicine dragsters ? They look thicker than the 1/25 Revell dragster ones'

I like it. Better detail on the side windows than I did.

Thanks guys. It took a lot of patience to work those decals (and Future acrylic floor polish). Happy to have it finished.

WHATS GOING ON HERE?

Yep, I'll just keep my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 ranch truck until it can't be fixed any more. Bought it used in 2002 for $5000. Just turned 82000 miles. No interest in a new one. -
A few old one's coming Round 2 Box art !
magicmustang replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
All I'm saying is: If they would correct it, I think a lot of us would buy another. I already have an original unbuilt and a built one in my collection. -

All I'm saying is, they corrected the front end on the Ohio George '67 Malco Mustang gasser (original kit had an incorrect '65 front end on a '67 Mustang body, they put a proper '67 front end on the latest release), why not correct this kit. They should have the Jolly Roger Maverick funny car body mold somewhere, use that body. Decals should be a simple fix. they change them on most rereleases. -

MPC should use the body from their Jolly Roger Maverick funny car. It's the same body (I have both) from the MultiMaverick kit without the long hood scoop. -
