RancheroSteve Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 So, what was the base kit? Any chassis and engine pics? The base kit is the Model King re-issue of the old AMT annual - reviewed here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3155&hl=comet The kit (and the model) is a curbside - no engine and one piece chassis plate, which I just painted semi-gloss black.

GlueTube Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I can't add anymore to what the others have offered other than great job on great and unusual subject matter! It cries out for a simple diorma base. Regards Brian Kroon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Wow! Somebody obviously did his homework on this one... Just one question... the black number ball is under the chrome side trim? Or did they apply the number and then cut away part of the black circle to expose the chrome trim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdcar32 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This pushes all my buttons ! I bet the research was alot of fun. I remember these as a kid, along with the Monte Carlo Rallye Falcons. The spot light shields along with the accurate markings really look authentic, really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
