'70 Grande

Well, those posted instruction sheet pics by Keyser of the Get Smart 4-cylinder kit help explain a little bit of my confusion regarding how to install the V-8 engine in the reissued Tiger kit. Part #37, (the V-8's Engine Mount piece), doesn't even exist on the Get Smart instruction sheet. (It looks like that 4-cylinder motor is held in place by the transmission cross-member in the rear and the lone, upper radiator hose upfront). So now I'm guessing that Part #37 is an add-on piece for the V-8 to mount to, and the "vagueness" is somewhat explained! I'll post more info here once I do some dry-fitting and make a determination on how Part #37 should be glued in-place.

I've just finished clean-up on most of the chassis and suspension pieces for this kit before they go into the paint booth. Boy, it seems like there's alot of "vagueness" to how some of the parts assemble-together and go into the main chassis piece. The part #37 Engine Mount has me somewhat baffled. I can see how its supposed to mount to the Front Suspension Upper plate piece, but I'm perplexed by how the engine then mounts to it. And it seems like this part #37 can be mounted one way to make the engine stand "taller/higher" inside the engine compartment, or flip it over and it'll make the engine "shorter/lower" inside the engine compartment. The instruction's illustration really isn't clear on how this piece should be mounted. Guess I'll have some test-fitting to do!

Sure would like to see some pics of this newly-reissued Mustang kit, if anybody's picked one up already and has it on their workbench!

Really like this build! I agree; the slightly-raised suspension gives this build the "look" of a proper 442!

A beautiful build! Your paint and detail-painting work look excellent; the engine looks superb! I think you definitely succeeded at making it look "meaner", too. Nice job!

Really like this build. Your detailing and paintwork looks awesome! Is that paint color a Dark Blue with a "Purple-ish" cast to it? Love to know the name of that SW paint color!

Nice! That build looks like it'd be very fast and very loud in a 1:1 version!

Really like this build! Even with your resin-release issues, the paintwork looks fantastic! You do very clean work; what's not to like!

Beautiful build! I really like this one and the thought put into it!

Dave, Any updates on how this new Comet Cyclone kit is coming along in pre-production?

Love this build! That color-scheme is unusual and awesome!

Pics opened-up perfectly for me. You did alot of work to this build and it shows! A very nice build with some excellent custom body work done! I've never seen a Shoebox Ford done in quite this same style, and I like it!

You guys bust me up!

I really like this build! As others have already posted; you nailed the look and originality on this build!

Wow, that is an amazing save! Nicely done! How'd you get those chrome-plated headlights to look so good?

The new decal sheet looks great! I guess they ran out of room for numbers "8" and "9" on it tho! Those are the vintage tires from previous issues of this kit. Sadly, their tread pattern is so pronounced that they look more like off-road tires to my eye. Sure would like to see some new sports car racing tires produced by a kit maker some day soon!

Okay, so I did find the answer to my 2nd question; it looks like this reissue has an all-new decal sheet! So, can anybody provide some info on the kit's tires?

To anyone who has the newly-reissued 1/25 AMT Sunbeam Tiger kit on their workbench, I have a couple of quick questions. 1). Are the tires inside this reissue the same as in previous issues of this kit? 2). Has the kit's decal sheet been updated in any way? Would love to see some pics if anyone has the time to add them to this post! Thanks!

Now its just missing a license plate! May I suggest "YEDSEL" in reference to the great paint color! Oh yeah... this is an awesome build!

One of the best-looking builds that I have ever seen of this kit, and I've seen plenty of good builds of it!

A beautiful build! Your paint and decal work is excellent!

From what I can see, there's already a lot to like about this upcoming Bronco if it ends up being produced as this pre-production pic shows. I wondered if it'd have off-road and/or street tires. (Here's a suggestion, Revell; offer both in the first release). Those off-road tires look great! And a roll bar; that's an unexpected surprise. Course, I'd like to see 5 tires and wheels included in this kit too, so we can build it with an exposed spare hanging on the back!

Two outstanding builds of outstanding subject matter; beautifully-done!

Excellent build! Lots of great work put into this build! How'd you create that great-looking Mexican blanket seat cover?

If the shop floor wasn't so clean, I think I'd mistake that first pic as a 1:1! Really, really nice build... flawless execution!
