Welcome to the forum Scott. -
What a cool project. I remember having one in the stash when it came out. I kept putting off over and over until one day it disappeared from the stash. Never knew where it went. Glad to see one built. The red scanner is a nice touch. Great job on this one Bill.

Awesome work . The flip nose is a great idea. A lot of creativity in this build. I dig it. 68 charger is my favorite year.

Great job on the caddy! It is said that it's not the destination but the journey that counts. So in a way, you and AMT arrived at the same destination but using different routes. The more work, the greater the reward. Thanks for sharing.

thanks John. Thanks James Thanks Pierre. I've waited so long for this kit, I'm just glad to have one . ๐ Thanks Phil. Thanks Manuel, I think this one is a new tool at least that's it said on their web site. Thanks David, I agree, it looks super cool in the movie but as a static model, I prefer the clean line of the car. Thanks Glen. Thanks you Alan. I remember reading that it was a new tool on Revell web site. Thank you Tom. Thank you David. Thanks Michelle, it can be build stock the top plug seam is big so you need to sand ,filler, sand , filler . same with the bullet proof bulkhead. They designed it to be moveable so the gaps are enormous. Thanks Chris Thank you Garry. Yes they are expensive, I paid 54$ CAD. Thanks David. Thanks Bob. Thank you Mathias Thanks Rich.

Another Autocar DC9964B .. with a twist
happy grumpy replied to Biggu's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That's the kind of build that I like, gritty and dirty and realistically weathered. It sure looks the part. -
This the James Bond version but I did not add the gadgets, the partial roof looks silly so I plugged it and removed the seam , same with the bullet proof bulk head, tire shredders and machine gun. This car looks way better as a normal factory car. I have been waiting to build this for as long as I have been modeling. There is no engine but the details are quite good. The assembly is straight forward and I did not ran in any issues apart for a lot of sanding, it was smooth sailing. Primes with Tamiya grey primer, the closest i got color wise is Tamiya gloss aluminum clear coated with TS13. I am glad Revell put this one out even if its a easy-click model. The only thing I can complain about is the chrome, it's ok but it's not to the standard that is Revell's usually is. In all, I am pleased with the results and I can tick that one off the bucket list. As always, thanks for looking.
