    The big issue in my eyes with the Revell '65 Chevelle Z16's roofline is how straight-n-flat the roofline right over the doors is; a straight horizontal edgeline that has no tamper-towards-the-rear like the 1:1 has... it blatantly stands-out to my eye.

    Lotz of great work here... I especially like that tasty little Porsche 904!

    Beautiful build ! What scale is it?

    Stunning build!

    Almost 20 builds... that's more than I completed in the last decade! Great stuff here with a nice variety of subjects... well done!

    Wow! This is an incredible build! Your paintwork and kitbashing to get that combination of sub-assemblies together is awesome!
  9. '70 Grande
    Well done! This kit has some issues, and frequently, when built, looks a little "off" to my eyes, but your build looks very good and doesn't have that "off-look-symptom to it! Takes me back to the 1970's... nice job!

    I agree; a very nicely done build! I have built this kit more times than any other kit out there, (4X if I remember them all)! It qualifies as my all-time-favorite kit even tho it has those mid-1970's kit production issues as you mentioned. I like your color choice of the Red interior with Inca Gold outer! Your detail-painting and engine work look exceptional, too!

    If you are gonna build that USPS version, make certain it has some nice-sized fender- dents like shown in that 1:1 pic!

    Looks good even after all those rebuilding and paint struggles! I've always loved this kit; had one in-the-works for over a decade now... I need to pull that one out and finish her up!

    Owned a 1:1 baseline 1970-1/2 Camaro; it had the 250ci straight-6. That straight-6 from the '69 Firebird kits would take a bit of work to turn into an engine that looks like the Chevrolet 250 from my 1:1... I really don't think that'd be the best place to start.

    I'm curious if the Turbo 4-cylinder is made-up of the same engine parts found inside this 1/25 AMT Ford Courier Pickup kit issued a year or so after the Pintera kit.

    Excellent build! Looking at that side-view comparison image with the 1:1, I think your build has a better looking stance than the 1:1! Great job!

    Okay, so I made no progress on my 1/25 MPC '67 Pontiac GTO project a month+ ago, but I'm hoping it can be reinstated as a "Bring-out-your-dead" project for the December deadline; I'm really gonna work on it this time and get it all finished-up!
  17. '70 Grande
    Excellent build! The paint and decal work are exceptional, stance looks great as do those wheels and tires! It is easy-to-see that alot of work and effort was invested in this build... it all paid-off!
  18. '70 Grande
    I think this was my favorite of the entire series of AMT Modified Stocker kits. The box artwork on this one in particular is outstanding, (even tho the artwork depicts the actual car and model at about 2/3's of its actual wheelbase and overall body-length... its an awful-stubby Impala)!
  19. '70 Grande
    Really nice build! Great paintwork and color choices! I believe this is the 1st one of these kits that I have ever seen built-up... makes me wonder how well this kit sold for Revell.

    David, If you're looking to upgrade the look of your 1/24 Monogram Mongoose and Snake Funny Cars, and you think part of those upgrades would be replacing those kit's front wheels and tires with more accurate, skinnier drag racing front wheels and tires, I would like to know if you'd be interested in trading-for or possibly selling the (4) chrome, front mag wheels from those 2 kits to me. A few days ago I sent you a PM regarding this; just let me know.
  21. '70 Grande
    Agreed! Very nicely done! Paint and decal work is exceptional!
  22. '70 Grande
    The 1/25 MPC 1970/71 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler kit is on the top of my Holy-Grail kits list... that'd be a good one!
  23. '70 Grande
    If you do get one of these kits, Randy, send the lovely figure to me and I'll finish it up!

    That paint-color is outstanding! This looks like a first-class build all the way! Do you have any engine compartment pics; sure would like to see more!
  25. '70 Grande
    Stunning build of a classic! Your paintwork and color choices are outstanding! It's a shame more of these classic cars don't get built in model-form... they are such beautiful cars!
