'70 Grande

Beautiful build! As previously posted, it has a great stance and attitude! You should be very proud of this build. What tires did you use for the rears?

Somebody please message me with how to get to that "other" model site so i can view these pics!

Guess I just need to be more patient and wait for this kit's January reissue release! I pretty much know what to expect in this reissue; I remember building the original release long ago and liked it then. This is a pretty straight-forward and basic kit that can be built into a fairly-accurate race car with a little extra effort. The one thing that I am puzzled about are these "pad-printed" Firestone tires. I feel as though tires can "make-or-break" a kit, and I'm really curious what the tires inside this reissue will look like; I hope they do a good job of representing a 1:1 Trans-Am racing tire.

I've seen in descriptions of this soon-to-be-reissued kit, that it'll have pad-printed Firestone tires inside of it. (I believe the original issue of this kit came with Goodyears). My question is this: has anyone seen 1/25 pad-printed Firestones on the market recently that may very well be the same tires, (Trans-Am, racing-style), that will be inside of this kit? Or, do you think that it's possible that these will be new Firestone racing tires that we haven't seen before?

Agreed; a great trade with Vince Nelson, (vintagedragcrazy)!

Sooo, (directed to you 1/25 Mopar experts), if a builder wanted to bring more detail to this potential, Moebius/Johan reissue of the '59 Dodge, are there any existing 1/25 kits that could donate an accurate engine, chassis and any other needed parts to combine and build into a full-detail '59 Dodge? Would the 1/25 '58 Plymouth Fury from AMT/Ertl be an accurate donor for engine and chassis pieces, or if not, is there something better out there? ... probably not going to be the easiest hood to cut-out on that '59 Dodge, either!

Great looking Camaro build! Sure would like to see some pics of the engine compartment and chassis. Also, since this kit has been heavily-scrutinized for its front grill, would like to see a straight-on front end shot to see how it looks once built... a shot from the rear would be great too!

Beautiful save and restoration! I think you can find the 1:1 version of this same car on the front cover of the November 2014 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine, except that 1:1 has a White vinyl roof and facory luggage rack on its trunk lid. According to that article, this color combination of Sublime with a White interior was getting quite rare on 1970 Chargers.

And from the art studio of David Kimble, too! I think he's been the finest cut-a-way artist in the world for the last 3 decades, and still is today! Google him and check out some of his work; its awesome!

I think the narrow white walls are a little more "in-charactor" with the body paint's narrow color strips, so I'd go narrow, too.

Snake, I have all the parts ready to make this same modification to my Revell '69 Nova's body; I'd sure like to see some pics of what you did to make that '72 AMT tailight/rear bumper piece correctly fit the Revell Nova body... could you PM me a pic or two?

Appreciate your informative replys... Mark, could you post a pic or two of the work that you're doing to your Stude's roof? Thanks, gentlemen!

Beautiful build of outstanding subject matter! Your detail painting looks excellent!

Glad to see this 1/25 '53 Studebaker Starliner, "Mr. Speed" kit return with all of its original parts. Can anyone post some pics of this reissued kit's parts trees? Wondering if they have a lot of flash and the general condition of this reissue. Also wondering; does the body have cutting-guidelines inside it for removing the roof to add the kit's chopped top piece? I like the chopped top, but would rather build this kit as a "custom" with a much-less-severe chopped top; I'm wondering if a portion of the stock top and the chopped top piece could be combined to build a custom Stude with only a 2"-3" chop instead of the much larger chop provided in the kit.

Brian, Beautiful build! I imagine it would take you several paragraphs just to describe the various body modifications that you made on this build! What kit did you use to build the chassis from? (Sure would like to see some pics of the chassis, too)!

I can't ever remember seeing one of these Edsel kits built in a one paint color scheme before! It looks really good in solid Red! Great job, Tulio!

My most recent order was placed on Aug. 9, 2014, with parts in my mailbox on Sept 4; about 3-1/2 weeks. Excellent service and turnaround time!

I wonder if it would be possible to engineer each of the clear windows so they would be not as thick as typical kit windows, and then have a groove molded into the window frames where these thin glass pieces could be "popped" tightly into place without needing any glue. Just an idea...

Beautiful build! This is one of those that when I look at it, I wish I could have the 1:1 version parked in my garage, (and I don't say that about a lot of builds I see)!

Wow! Beautiful Build! I always thought these little race cars still kept their windshield wipers, but guess I was incorrect about that!

I agree, the S&H chassis looks really nicely done. Looking at the side panel of the S&H box mockup makes me wonder what engine came inside the 1:1 television show's car. I would've bet it to be 351 Windsor, but the box art's engine looks too tiny for a 351 to my eye! (Granted, it's just a mockup of the model and its box art, so the final product could be different).

I hope somebody purchases that vintage race car and gives it a full-restoration!!! Oh... wait, it's 1/25 scale, right?!? That is a fabulous build and outstanding diorama!

Once it was finished, I knew that I'd like it; and I do! Nicely built!

It's kinda funny how the Coke bottle decal on decklid of the Bobby Allison car is pouring into the fuel cell filler!

I just received my newly-reissued 1/25 Revell BRE Datsun 510 racecar kit and found this kit to be pretty much as I remembered it from the original, mid-1970's issue. There is very little flash in my kit and everything looks to be molded very well. The new decal sheet also looks excellent. One area of disappointment for me though; the kit has new tires in it, and although produced with excellent tread-pattern and plain sidewalls, these new tires seem extremely small to my eye. The tires are right at 3/8" wide, making them slightly-wider than 9" in 1:1 scale; (this dimension seems about right to me). But the tire's sidewall height is right at 7/8", or slightly taller than 21" in 1:1 scale. That sidewall height dimension seems too small to me. Were the tires used on these little Datsun racecars really that small?
