So, you bash the kit and then say it is not bad. So, what is it? Is it not enough that Revell at least did something else with a new tool to keep interest going? The kit for all intents and purposes is a stock vehicle kit, they just added some race parts to build something other than stock. For the average or novice builder, that will work just fine. For the more experienced builders, and to be honest, these kits are not really aimed at us, the rest falls on us to make them a bit more accurate. Revell is not going to mod a stock tool to make a more accurate race car that only a few foiks really know anything about. The basics are there for a better build or just build it out the box and add it to the dust collection system. I just wish Revell would just add the parts to the original kit, like a 2 in 1, and let us do the rest, but hey, they are in the buisness of making models to make money, its the American Way! At least be glad you got a discussion going and some very helpful info came out of it.

This should answer some questions and also raise some questions, like, was the bottom of the car white or ?

So crazy I like it!

Awesome! Hope mine comes out that nice when I get to it!

This looks awesome, a bit pricey, but awesome! So, who is ordering first? http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=43&products_id=5913&osCsid=959bd3fc71a2692f0b28dee17766cb2b

Correct or not correct, they are going to end up on a shelf collecting dust! Just build'em!

I just used a piece of glass for a flat surface and used paint bottles to hold it up while the glue dried. If you do it in stages you should be fine.

There's a build challenge!

Got these in the mail. Really good deal on some really nice jackets!

Don't forget that '70 was the first year for Pro Stock and most cars where running mostly stock components in the suspension systems, it was later, especially after Jenkins tube Vega, that things started getting crazy.

Monogram kitted one with a stock height roof. Should not be too hard to find.

I just bought one and it looks fine to me. I am just going to build it and add what it needs and be done with it. As a model builder, this is no big deal.

Nice truck, but, that is a '53 F-100, not a '56

I'll make you a sweet deal on it!

Thanks, and the Billy Carter truck will be built!

My score from the San Diego IPMS show today! Won the boat in a raffle.

It is exactly the same Revell kit. Minus the chrome finish

Yes, they only had two cars for '63, with the exception being the Law Man wagon that Eckstrand tested with a stick in it. But, it was too heavy and abandoned. The "Third" car was a replacement for the car they wrecked in testing. It became "980"

You can't beat the Revell Chassis for fidelity and accuracy. They are less clunky than the AMT kits. Another option is the AMT Parts Pack Chassis that was re-issued a few years ago. In the end, use the one that best fits your needs and vision. Have fun!

Pics look like something out of a dealers brochure! Very nice!

That is wild!! NIce!!

I've always had a soft spot for the Dodge D50. Growing up with mini trucks in the 80's sure made an impression. Nice job!
