    The AW Sport Fury diecast is sweet...I have it in all 3 colors.  Would love to see one in 1/25th. 

    The grille is not quite right. It should totally flat from one end to the other. The AW Sport Fury GT die cast dips in front of headlamps. Making it look more like a ‘69 Caprice with the optional hidden headlamps, than a ‘70 Sport Fury. Beyond that, it looks pretty good.

    Actually, the '72 Duster kit is based on the MPC '71 Demon 'new tool' from last year (which is designed like the old MPC Demon/Duster tooling). 

    I just finished building the new ‘71 Demon in the last week (I need to post pictures). What a wonderful kit. So I’ll be pleased if the ‘72 is based off that kit. Though no factory air conditioning with it. In my imagination, I’ll just have to sweat the summers out driving in these cars. Or imagine they have air, even though they don’t.

  3. The ‘63 LeMans convertible and the ‘72 Duster interest me. And I’ll probably get both.

    I’m assuming the ‘72 Duster is a modified version of their ‘71 Duster kit. From looking at the decal sheet, it’s obvious they changed to correct longer ‘72 taillights. The other change I hope they know to make is to the dashboard/instrument panel. The ‘72 Dusters and Demons went away from ‘67-‘69 Barracuda style dashboard they used in ‘70 and ‘71, to plain the dashboard/instrument cluster used in other Valiant and Dart models of that year.

    I hope they keep the under-dash factory air conditioning unit found in the newer ‘71 Duster kits. I like my rides to be cool. In more ways than one.

  4. Thank you to Hi-Po above. He was able to get me a replacement windshield. One in better shape than he had lead me to believe. 
    Thanks again, Hi-Po. I really appreciate your help. As far as I’m concerned, your one of good ones.

  5. I’m presently working on this kit. The other day I was following the instructions on drilling a hole, with an Exacto knife, for mounting the inside rear view mirror. The window decided to split in half. Now I’m looking for a replacement windshield. Is there anybody who can help me out there?

  6. So far everything on my 1/16 scale 1963 Corvette Sting Ray build has been going really good. I have a beautiful Tamiya light metallic blue paint job on the kit, that looks great. It’s time to install the glass. The instructions say to drill a hole, with an Exacto knife, in the front glass to make a hole for mounting the inside rearview mirror. This is where I ran into a problem.

    As I’m working on the hole, the windshield ends up splitting in half. Now I need a replacement. Is there anybody out there who can help me? It would be greatly appreciated.

  7. Started stripping tonight, the bad chrome on a Pyro 1/32 ‘32 Pierce Arrow custom convertible that I bought a while back. Overall it looks like a nice kit. Some stuff is already glued together. I have those parts in my freezer, seeing if that will help break some of the stronger glue bonds. Beyond that, I’m just missing the windshield and one parking lamp. I’m sure I can make those. But, if anybody has a spare of those parts, it would be greatly appreciated if I could get them.
