Superbird McMonte

The 1970 Riviera was always my favorite! There is a 3D printed one available from Too Many Projects on Facebook. I ordered one and should get it soon. I have all of them from 63-65, 66 and 69. good luck with the build!

Hi Bill. The wheels I sent to you were printed with clear resin. I also have clear red for taillights. Although it’s not red enough, I’ve heard a little pigment can be added.

Thanks! Yes, that is the Monogram Superbird with a Johann wing.😁👍

That’s exactly my point. I think my local hobby shop still has them sitting on the shelf from the last time it was reissued…🤷🏻

Yeah, I get that. I guess I’m wishing out loud….😁

Seven pages of conversation here and nobody’s talking about the 71 Monte Carlo super stocker. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Monte Carlo fan! But I think AMT is missing the mark here. It’s not a very desirable kit as far as I know. I think they would be better off updating the current 70 Monte Carlo into a 71 or 72. Would be a big hit with musclecar fans and Lowrider fans.

I just found this one! I don’t know how I missed it. 😝 It’s looking good so far!

I’ve always considered doing the 74, I simply like that body style little bit better. But I like what you’re doing with this one! Can’t wait to see it through!

They look very much like the AMT 1970 Monte Carlo (1998 issue and later) I can’t see if Bill’s has the valve stems. The outer edge is beveled.

I was disappointed to hear there will be no more 2 door Civics in the US!😩

I like family cars! Can’t wait to see the results!

They look really cool! That’s a project I’d like to take on myself. I’ll be watching intently!

I sent most of my files to be printed. In the meantime I tried printing them myself on a Photon printer. I would love to recommend this printer, but it is extremely finicky and difficult to set up. It prints about 25% of the time. I have a friend that uses them for his business and has had great success. I have two of them and one prints nothing at all any other prints when it feels like it. Below are some of my prints. The rest of these were printed by my friend on a different kind of printer. The tires have primer on them as does the air cleaner at the bottom.

I love this level of scratch building! Beautiful work!

Thanks! I like it a lot! I can’t stay off of it!
