yellowsportwagon Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Not my best build but it’ll pass. The Parts Box resin kit built out of the box but lowered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Is it a Mustang or a Torino, I ask myself. Very nice model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Very cool! I don't think I've ever seen a build of one of these that wasn't Max's car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Looks amazing! I'd kill for a good kit of an Aussie Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Mate, you nailed it! I had to laugh, as I looked at your photos I thought "I will have to tell him about the hood scoop inserts!" and now as I read down I see you realised it! All good. Thepartsbox.com does beautiful models and I am good friends with the guy who did some of the original masters that thepartsbox then massaged and improved to what you have today. You have done a superb job on the XB GT! I believe there are quite a few in the States these days. These are a very expensive car in Australia these days and COVID tax has pushed the prices way up. They regularly sell for between 100 and 200 thousand and that's for an average one, not an outstanding one. About thirty years ago I had the opportunity to buy a clean six cylinder one for $1400 - shoulda, woulda, coulda! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alan Thanks Alan Teenty years ago you could have one bought and shipped to the states for 15,000. So yes I should have!! One of my all time favorite cars. I took some artistic liberties with this one. But I did it how I thought they look coolest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Beautiful paint finish and I like how the green looks with the silver accents. The wheels look sort of like something from a Farrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Nice job on this model. Eric Bana (actor) had one of these a while back and made a movie about his car. Can't remember the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Excellent work! I keep meaning to pick up one of these kits, you've shown how good it can look. 20 hours ago, TonyK said: Nice job on this model.

I'm usually not one for documentary/interview-style movies, but had to buy this one after watching it. I'm sure it was entirely because of the subject.

89AKurt Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Looks really good from here, other than the hood scoops, pictures usually reveal every flaw I miss. 🤭 Nice metallic green paint job. I recently had a conversation on Fakebook about these cars, didn't know how valuable they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 yellowsportwagon, awesome build of a factory correct XB falcon. we don't see many of these here.

I've got one of those Model 56 diecasts. they are not very accurate and not very well made. I used the body to make the Road Warrior 'Bat xa' car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
