As I said, this was a sample of 1. And Im glad/hope that my experience is not the norm. Maybe my kit was made on a Monday or a Friday. 😆

I like it. Very clean build. Congratulations and nice build

While talking to a friend of mine, she said she loved the PT Cuiser she used to own (please dont judge 😁). Well, I happen to have the Revell snap tite kit in my stash (please dont judge..😆) So I thought Id build it and give it to her. Ive been building models for 50 years. And the entire time Im building it, Im thinking of what the experience would be like for a beginner or someone new to the hobby. Without some serious modifications, this kit could not be finished. The headlights had to be cut into 3 parts to fit. The windshield/side glass,back light fit so bad that the interior wouldnt fit and so the chassis could not be in even close. It had to be cut up also to use it. I realize this is a sample of 1. But if someone new to the hobby started with his kit, its going to leave a "bad taste" for the hobby. And then we lose another person from joining the hobby. And from I stand and what I see at local shows, there seems to be fewer and fewer new builders, especially young ones. Its seems the median age of builders is getting up in the 50's and 60's. Whats going to happen to this hobby if we dont get new blood coming in? I wrote to Revell, basically saying the same thing as here. Hopefully they will take this as helpful and not as an attack on their kits. This kind of a rant and I dont want to seem overly negative. I'd just like to see steps taken to ensure that this hobby endures. Any thoughts, comments, please feel free to chime in

Nice job on your Sunny!! Its different , I like it

I like your way! Nice job on this build, Ismael.

Thats a great build, Jurva I really like the subtle sleeper look

I think splitting the magazine from the forum is a good idea. To Dave and your crew, good luck with this. Your taking on a lot and I appreciate your efforts. Onward and upward!

An excellent use of spare parts. Very cool build!!

Not sure which one I like more, both look really great!

An impressive level of detail, on a very clean build. Nice job, Bob

Wow, that is an impressive black paint job! Very clean build. 👍

You know, I might have some free time, to help eat...er...sample some of those breads...😅

Very clean build, Justin. Nice color choices

Nice build, Elliot. The color and the stance really make it!

Now that is a great tip. Simple, effective. Thanks Greg
