slusher Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The ol' MPC Chevelle Stock car from a LHS that is trying to bring in model builders. They mainly do R/C. And the Hasegawa 1/48 Macross Valkyrie VF-1S/A Super Valkyrie Skull Squadron I picked up at the Secret Society of Modelers yearly show at Gillespie Field Jesse I have been really curious how the Pepsi Chevelle builds up. I have not see one built yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Through a trade with a fellow forumite, I was able to add this AMT '70 Challenger R/T convertible to my pile, for a future project. Interestingly, the kit also provides a hardtop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiousgeorge Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks to Carl (falcon wagon), I finally got my hands on a nice '66 Fury kit to replicate one I had some years ago. A great guy to deal with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Jesse I have been really curious how the Pepsi Chevelle builds up. I have not see one built yet... I am going to try and find the correct decals for it, hopefully someone is still making them. Here is one on the board http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=92110 And this one I found on the web Edited January 26, 2015 by Daddyfink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 A friend of mine has one with a 440 six-pack. It really boogies. I'd imagine. I too had a pal with a 440, a Magnum though as I recall, and it'd nail you to the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks to Carl (falcon wagon), I finally got my hands on a nice '66 Fury kit to replicate one I had some years ago. A great guy to deal with! Nice one Trent! There's something about the '65-'66 Plymouths I've always loved! In my opinion, probably the best looking Fury from the '60s. I find it odd that you almost never see them on the road anymore. I have the convertible to build, as well as a '65 hardtop. I'm looking forward to both! Good luck with your project!

Furiousgeorge Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I had a 1:1 '66 Sport Fury, a beautiful car in style and ride. But I had to sell it, and have longed for another one ever since. This kit will replicate what I'd have done with that car had I been able to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_B Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Pickup a scratch and dent '60 "Ohio George" Ranchero last night....plus my Michael's coupon...good price. Yikes! Learning about this kit...this will be a challenging one! Found the resin straight 6, but now realizing the lack of bracing and shock towers (huh, maybe I should put this in the "you know you're a modeler when..." thread)....I could always glue the hood shut.....

Tony_B Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm checking the Ranchero thread, it mentions the Fairlane adaption, but I like the ideas of the mustang. I've got the AMT 66 Mustang hardtop, it doesn't match up too well...any other particular kits that come to mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yesterday I got a Fujimi Ford GT40 Mk I kit I won on eBay over the weekend. Very fast delivery. And a very nice model.

gtx6970 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Postman droppd of an ebay impulse purchase. Original AMT 1958 Pontiac Bonneville convertible builtup. Hard to believe this thing is older than I am( not by much ) . It doesnt look like anything has ever been painted This will not be going in a box for a future build project. I've been wanting to get back to the model bench for over a year ,,and this is the one to do it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
