Nice

Very nice; I think it's you best yet.

I found out Reliable Resin has a better conversion kit a couple months after I got this one. I think the rear wing is sold separate and runs about $15.

indeed

I've been wanting a 70 GTO for awhile, but there aren't any modern kits, and the vintage kits are way to pricey. The other day I saw a conversion kit for the 72 MPC GTO and decided to give it a try based on my previous experience with the Challenger conversions. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU ARE AT PRO LEVEL! So, with that being said; this kit and build was a nightmare. First off the conversion was way over molded. The hood alone was a 1/4 in thick. There was a lot of sanding...........so much sanding. I never did get it sanded down. I ended up doing some cutting and gluing the hood to the body. Irritation number two, the MPC kit front end is attached to the body. So I had to cut the front end off and sand some more, YAY! So, I get it the way I think it would be good. I go to see how the new front end will look once put on and..............The hood is too long. Yay, more sanding, just what I wanted. So, now I get it good, and I go to glue the front end on. There's now a gap because it doesn't want to glue all the way down. Great! A lot of cursing later and I finally get it some what looking....... OK. As a previous poster commented on their build; the rear end on the MPC kit has a fit issue. I tried to get it looking good, but it was pretty hard. I also hate that the MPC kit is molded in orange. It's a pretty bad, basic kit. There's also a problem with the pipes. They hang down way too far. Gotta glue them to the body later. My last problem was the stripes. They are Keith Marks and look good. However, they are not one piece. Yeah, I had to put on a strip, let it set, and put another strip over it. What could go wrong? A lot. Had one double over on itself and it's also hard to line them up.. Over all though, it looks passable for my collection.

Never cared to much for the 66 from the design stand point. Saw someone else's build the other day and thought it looked OK, so I decided to get one for the collection. The model came out real well, and the car doesn't look too bad in black. I believe someone had an issue with the windshield and rear window not having much room to glue in, and that was a major issue I had as well. Over all though, it's a good kit.

Been wanting one for the collection

nice

Nice

I've been wanting to get one, but don't have the money. Kinda expensive to get one.

That would be cool. I'd buy one.

Just got one of these in the mail today. I got a conversion kit to turn it into a 70 Judge. You've given me some ideas for paint. And an idea of how it could look.

Sweet. I love this kit.

Yeah, it's raised too.

Been waiting on this to come out for awhile. I had nothing to say but good things about the model, to start. However, when it came time to put the chassis on, there came a fit issue. It was a struggle to get it in right and the front never did line up quite right. There's a bit of a gap. I also found out that the hood is too short! It needs to be just a little bit longer to fit correctly. So I had to push it forward a bit and leave a small gap. However, it doesn't line up with the lines of the car either. You can see that in the pics.

Came across one a few months back, but couldn't afford the price. I fell in love with the design and knew I wanted one. So, when I got the unforeseen money of the stimulus I knew it was the first car on my list to buy. The kit itself is not bad. I just don't like that some pieces are molded in black. I'd love to get another one so I can do a different color. I don't think the white color does it justice. It doesn't show the lines of the car that well. I saw one in a nice blue color when looking them up online to see what combinations they had. It is a really nice kit for an old Revell kit.
