stitchdup Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Very nice, I like the look of the earlier side vents on the late body. I'll probably have to steal that idea from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger89 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Nice, Michelle. I owned a yellow '74 2.8 V6 for a couple years, an ok but not really loved car. I've found a couple nice yellow die cast early Capris in 1/16 and 1/43 scale, but never liked the Capri IIs enough to get and build the AMT kit.

dublin boy Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 It's sort of our Mustang over here in Europe Michelle. I have a couple in the stash, they came from the US and Canada funnily enough. You never see these built up, nice result from parts kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Interesting choice of a not-commonly-seen kit, and nicely done. I saw, and grabbed, one of those Matchboxes, too. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Great job on a parts box build. The taillights even are close the the German Ford Capri I'd like to get one of the AMT kits. I have the Monogram, but it is a curbside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
