Why is there a panic over a Swastika on a model kit? How about the Confederate Flag on the General Lee? Let the mayhem begin! And the Palm and Swastika was the logo of the Africa Korps and thus historically accurate

Nice job on one of my all time favorite kits! I have at least three in my stash!

Great job on a terrible kit! I like the sleeper look. This is one kit that should be re-done by Revell. Maybe a big window option would be nice.

I wish folks where more honest about what they say instead of just posting atta boy remarks. Some modelers, including myself, are not that great at certain things and pointing it out and giving advice usually will motivate someone to do better. If you give up or get all upset due to criticism, maybe you should not be posting pictures or showing your models in public venues. And if someone is honest, most folks will attack the person for not being nice. Best bet, just look and move on.

The real Rommel's Rod. Not even close

The two Garlits cars above are the same kit. The Jammer has a 392 and the later cars have the 426. The Ramchargers car has a 426, with some really bad valve covers. This kit was later re-done into the More American Graffiti car, with the 426 still in it with some bad valve covers to try and make it look like a Small Block Chevy!!

I've had to send bodies back for that very reason. For some reason the mold release can get impregnated into the resin and it will not clean off. This happened with Competition Resins bodies.

This is a must kit for the Drag fans out there! Nice to see it back!

I have always been under the impression that it is the same kit. I will check mine when I get home tonight

How many has someone BOUGHT for me or how many did I buy for myself?

And some 510's with a bit of "Flares"

Looks like a Hemi Under Glass chassis and a Corvair body. What a coincidence! I have both!

I bought some just to buy them and I doubt I will ever build them just considering the back log of kits I want to get to. But, if I get to them, they are fair game!

Wow, its kinda funny seeing what you guys are getting excited about. I guess living in Southern California makes one almost oblivious to these cars anymore.

Maybe what could have been if GM said yes to Shelby

It looks great! Nice job

Well, considering that the kit is in 1/25th, I would suggest the rear tires from a modern top fuel dragster or the wide MPC slicks from the early 70's that can be found in numerous drag and show cars. The rims are actually pretty accurate for the period. As for the engine, you can swap out any 1/25 scale hemi and dress it up with the kit supplied parts. The HEMI in these kits is a bit too narrow.

With a little inspiration, there is quite a bit you can do with this kit, just like the real ones! Surviving BRE Baja Racer Pete Brocks Personal 510 with Vette Engine in it And my friend Victors car with a Supercharged VG33E Xterra engine in it. The wheels are 15X8 in front and 15X9 in the rear. So yes, you can fit bigger wheels in them if you get creative!

To do the stock interior, I would just hunt down the tuner kit with the stock panels. The only other kits that have that dash are the Hasegawa Rally kit, the stock version of that kit and the 1600 Bluebird Doyusha kit that is pretty hard to find.

My real 510 is flared and I think it looks great. At least I can run bigger wheels!!

Just looking at the picture and noticing the huge video camera the guy is using, I would say late 80's or early 90's

The Tuner Series issue is the same as the Brock Buster issue, It was the street car version with a full interior. The BRE car has a race only style interior with a aluminum dash and aftermarket gauges. There was someone selling decals on eBay to build the Mike Downs car and the Bobby Allison version as well. I would like to see decals for the Bob Sharp/Paul Newman car

The car also ran Good Years and I am pretty sure I have a pic of the car with M&H tires on it as well, so I would not just stick to the Firestone tires if you have Good Years available.

You are truly scoring some really nice stuff, Rob! Way to go!

Fujimi wheels did the trick for me. They fit just fine and gave the car a great stance
