Finish the last eighteen started and or gifted models shelf!

Pretty busy year! I have another I wanted to finish, but I'll finish it next month. I'm hoping to be finished with all the gifted and started models from my stash from the past decades by the end of next year! Then, I can move onto the other two hundred or so on the shelves! I'm sixty now. If I can average fifteen to eighteen per year, I hope to complete all while I'm physically able.

This? or This? One more

Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Yeah, bad decals and wonky tires are something I'm familiar with too, but you'd think by now, this would be old news Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Look forward to your build! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Yeah, I went lazy on a few things on this one. My son gave me the AMT 007 Mustang to build and it was so bad I have other plans for it. I'll be making it into a fantasy NASCAR Grand American stock car. Meanwhile I ordered this for a quick replacement and finished as quick as possible. I can see you are fan of this body with all the cars and information you have. It's my favorite of all the Mustangs too. The Boss 351 is my choice.

Nice! I built the second release of this kit with the fictitious decals so many decades ago and had it up until fifteen or so years ago. It, along with these, and so may others were crushed accidentally while stored. I still have pictures though!

Nice kit! Best 71-73 Mustang I've built or seen kitted. Decals are a disappointment, several items have no white underlayment and or the registration is off enough to make them useless. The outer wheels should come chromed, I believe the Revell of Germany version did this, and their decals were more extensive. All other faults are my own. Tamiya paints. Thanks for looking! The blackout rockers are opaque, viewed from the side and top they are ok, but when viewed from the bottom in the last photo, you'll see they appear brown I "chromed" the wheels, but the effect is not as good as Revell could have provided. Also, the pad printed tires are wonky The interior is one of the best I've seen for detail from the domestics in a long time. I have an aftermarket 3D resin printed Ram Air attached even though the real car did not come with one. The hood has an impression and the air cleaner is correct for the Ram Air system, so why not. I lost the starter relay/voltage regulator soon after I finished detail painting it. It was in my alligator clip, and then it was somewhere in my hobby room. I might attempt to duplicate something with scrap plastic. I just noticed I forgot to paint the radiator cap. The under hood detail is very nice and those that choose to super detail, will love this. The chassis is well detailed and all the parts fit perfect! See what I meant about the rocker decals, brown. I think I'll be looking at purchasing the Boss 351 to build in the future

Built this a couple of years ago.

Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! I wish I had bought more of them too. Never had any idea they would completely disappear. Yes, BMF. Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing yours finished. Thanks! Hope to see yours in here soon! Thank you!

My next to last JoHan model I have left to build. The Chrysler Turbine is to be built some day. I've had this kit since the eighties and started it in that decade. All it needed was some fine tuning and paint. I'd even acquired a set of Fred Cady decals so I could do the less seen "B" paint scheme. Now, technically this is not a true 1969 SC/Rambler. JoHan cheated and used their 1966 Rambler American tooling and added a few parts and decals to make it look like The SC/Rambler. I modded a couple of things myself, but didn't try to go to super detail. The trunk lid will open, but nothing is to be seen. Some plug wiring, a different master cylinder with a booster, and side markers. The rest is just paint. Mostly Tamiya. Easy to build, because it was almost done and I can't remember what it was like in the eighties. So, thanks for looking!

Thank you!

Thanks! Thank you! The color is actually dark blue, but it photographs black. The wedge came with a NASCAR diecast as a bonus several years ago. It makes a neat photo angle. Thanks! When I was looking for inspiration, I found one in one similar to this, but it's metallic. The color is midnight mist iridescent. Thank you! Thanks! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks!

My wife gave this to me on Father's day. Simple model, so happy they brought it back to life. I have the convertible to build as well, hopefully next year. Tamiya dark blue and pearl light blue. I added a tach for the console and a oil filler to the engine. Modified the optional shifter to look like the stock one. Also, I added blackened hardware store screws. The emblem decals have no silver to them, so be aware. Fun build overall. Thanks for looking!

1962?

Thank you! Thanks! Look forward to seeing yours finished! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Thanks!

Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! Yes! I'd like to see one! Thanks! A cut above the wheel arch and lot of setting solution! Thank you!

This is a 1993 release of the seventies cars AMT released of Lennie Pond, Bobby Allison, Donnie Allison, Gordon Johncock, and Benny Parsons. I also picked up the terrible decals that were released at the time for this kit. I'd always planned to do the Lennie Pond car, but the decals were such a disappointment. A decade or so ago I found some bad copies of the original kit decals. The first set sent to me were a bad copy, so the seller sent another set. Not much better. Eventually, I found the Bobby Allison's decals as a compromise. AMT has now rererereleased the kit with ok decals and I planned to get that one. Then Ace decals released a beautiful set of full markings for Lennie's car. They're not perfect, but pretty nice. I started building this in the nineties, the incorrect front facia was used for some reason, and I guess I tossed the other. I made my own front and rear spoiler from thin metal. I used PPE wheels because the included wheels are just odd. The colors are all off from the few pictures I can find. So my use of Rustoleum 2X Gloss Marigold is close, but not quite there. It replaces a model of the original kit I built in the seventies with no paint and lots of glue! Thanks for looking! This is what was in the box. The first set of decals are to the left, Lennie Pond reprints in the middle and the Bobby Allison set on the right. I have plans for the Allison decals.

No credible source that really defines which cars were used Racing Reference just says Plymouth, but Petty ran the Superbird on the faster tracks and the Road Runner on the rest of the tracks. The best I can tell is three races, Rockingham, Atlanta, and Dover. There are pictures. The rest of his wins are all short tracks, road courses, or dirt and from everything I've ever read, Petty didn't run a Superbird on these.

Finally, finished. Another gift kit from my son. Not my best work, but considering the condition of the kit, I'm okay with it. This so far has been the most poorly molded kit I've ever built. The dies were really offset, leading to some wonky, warped parts. And the really weird thing is, I built this same exact kit when Testors released it when I was a kid and don't remember it being difficult. I also built the Lotus Ford at the same time and have that one to build now as well, and it looks poorly molded too. It was almost fifty years ago, so memory is a bit spotty. I modified the body to look somewhat like Mario Andretti's Sebring winner. The MPC kit would have been a better choice to start with. Tamiya paint, Starfighter, and Indycal decals. Thanks for looking!

In the first photo is how I received it as I recall. So, all the pieces you see in the photo were already off. By what I've written in the text, I glued the front suspension back to the places where the screws attach. I'm guessing three screws come in from the top. It looks like some more disassembly to remove the screws. The way I've had to repair other Mint diecasts, this involves breaking glue joints as well as screw removal. I wish I had more information to help, but mine had been broken from the screw mounts.

Good luck with this. I finished this kit earlier in the year. I shortened the frame 3/16" once I realize the wheelbase was too long. OK kit otherwise. The decals even did reasonably well considering they're Slixx and so old.

I can't afford the cost or the space to build the 1:1s
