Guest Johnny Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 OK... Gonna put my foot in my mouth. Your work is amazing John... so by no means a criticism.... but isn't the Matador 1/25 scale and the Revell Nascars 1/24? Can't help thinking those tires look a little big for the body. Maybe the AMT 1/25 scale Nascar wheels and tires would work better? Or maybe those are the Matador wheels and tires and the camera makes them look bigger? Or maybe..... I'll just shut up and watch the progress.... Tony Actually the AMT 1/25 tires would look too small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That dash looks like real! Great job with it so far, can't wait to see more. Wheels and tires are looking really autentic also, this is one must have kit, as a little AMC and NASCAR fan... Keep it going, I'm watching this project!

mcandela Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 John, really coming out nice. Like the way the wheel flares came out. What size (thickness) is the plastic used on the flares? And by the way I agree, sometimes You have to build for Yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
