Two very nice 300 SLs

Beautiful.

Beautiful Merc. I’m thinking about picking one of these.

Beautiful Rolls. Talk about “making a silk purse from a sows ear.” Great job.

Lovely job. Very nice.

One of these days, I need to build my. I have the last release. The one released by Ertl, above.

A lovely job on a lovely car. I love the color choices.

I’m still waiting to see if these will ever come back. I was too young to get them at the time. If they ever were to come back, I’d buy them all.

The grille is not quite right. It should totally flat from one end to the other. The AW Sport Fury GT die cast dips in front of headlamps. Making it look more like a ‘69 Caprice with the optional hidden headlamps, than a ‘70 Sport Fury. Beyond that, it looks pretty good.

I just finished building the new ‘71 Demon in the last week (I need to post pictures). What a wonderful kit. So I’ll be pleased if the ‘72 is based off that kit. Though no factory air conditioning with it. In my imagination, I’ll just have to sweat the summers out driving in these cars. Or imagine they have air, even though they don’t.

Why is a nice “stock” Capri mk 1 not available? The car was such a big seller in real life. And in so many different markets. I’ve never seem a plain/stock mk 1 kit ever in 1/25th or 1/24th scale. This has baffled me years now. Make mine a US spec version of course. Or at least a left hand version with a V6.

I love the box art on this. I love anything blue. I’m going to try replicating the car on cover.

The ‘63 LeMans convertible and the ‘72 Duster interest me. And I’ll probably get both. I’m assuming the ‘72 Duster is a modified version of their ‘71 Duster kit. From looking at the decal sheet, it’s obvious they changed to correct longer ‘72 taillights. The other change I hope they know to make is to the dashboard/instrument panel. The ‘72 Dusters and Demons went away from ‘67-‘69 Barracuda style dashboard they used in ‘70 and ‘71, to plain the dashboard/instrument cluster used in other Valiant and Dart models of that year. I hope they keep the under-dash factory air conditioning unit found in the newer ‘71 Duster kits. I like my rides to be cool. In more ways than one.

The two I’m waiting for.

Mine too.
