MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Looking good! For the hood you could look for a Revell Firebird Formula Convertible kit.
  2. A lot of nice guitars here...I really dig the 1982 Yamaha SBG1200! Here's my current main guitar rig...its flexible, powerful and most important...easy to carry!!
  3. Decatur here... Are there any hobby shops that sell models in central Illinois besides Hobby Lobby?
  4. I ordered some of Fireball Modelwork's Quadrajets a while back and finally got around to painting and installing one on a 70's Pontiac 400 I am building. ..all I can say is WOW! My pics don't do them justice...Joseph's work is amazing.
  5. Looking cool...I have been wanting to buy this kit because of the music theme. My first suggestion is to make the guitars different colors...you hardly ever see matching instruments on stage. It looks like they are both guitar players.. you should designate the fu-manchu guy as the bass player and make his outfit a bit more odd/radical than the guitarist. The singer would be hot as a redhead in a green dress..a blonde in a black dress would be cool too. Does she have a microphone? if not you should make one.. Some 60s style Vox or Marshall amps would look good behind them too.
  6. I have been getting these parts packs from Hobby Lobby as well for $7.99. Two weeks ago I bought the Gasser Wheels & tires for $9.99. I'm not sure why they are so cheap compared to everywhere else..you would think online sources would be cheaper than a retail store.. I really like the Parts Packs though and I'm glad they are bringing them back and more. Keep 'em coming Round 2!
  7. Cool car! ..love the Formulas. Great job so far! I like this Bandit kit a lot, the interior is accurate for the custom trim pkg and it actually has an A/C compressor. The engine is not so great though...doesn't look anything like a Pontiac V8.
  8. I gotta agree with Scott.. I am a HUGE Pontiac and 2nd Gen Firebird fan...so I shouldn't complain about a new Pontiac kit..but ANOTHER release of a 1979 Trans Am is only yawn inspiring. The Formulas are just as awesome, if not more, and haven't really been seen since the annual MPC releases of the 70's. How about someone do a 1973-74 SD455 car?!?! ...Formula or Trans Am! Its ONLY one of the greatest musclecars ever made..
  9. The AMT kit that Kris mentioned is probably your best choice. It is the 1989 20th Anniversary Trans Am with a Turbo 3.8, kit #6932. Here are a few pics of it
  10. I had to do some research on this car since I had never heard about it.. and found these pics of Ed Newton's drawings for this car. I understand the barrel scoop now and like how you combined the two designs with a few new things. Excellent!
  11. Definitely looks 100% better! Is the AMT 1972 GTO from 2004 this same kit, with the same problem?
