You said exactly what I wanted to say Snake. Even if there is nothing I can do about it. It still makes me sad.

Yea, I got problems viewing the photos in this one too.

I've never understood why anybody would build a car can not be comfortably gotten into or sat in by the average person. Even with the models I build, I generally consider if they'd be comfortable or practical to be drive in real life or not. With the exception of Ed Roth's stuff, I rarely build anything that could not be comfortably or practically drive on the street or race track.

Wow! I've never seen a commercial for AMT models before. A little sad to see it was done during the Ertl era. In the modeling dark ages of the 1980's. Thankfully, Ertl at least kept AMT and MPC alive during that time.

Without watching the video, what is it? It looks like it could be a DeSoto?

One can never have too much fun. Both the car and the gal look good to me.

Very nice. Simply beautiful.

Nah. I really do not like it. It barely looks like the Corvair 95 it once was.

I started building my IMC Avenger just within the last month. The body sitting in primer right now. I still not 100% what color I want to paint it. I'm thinking a light metallic blue.

I mainly use their app on my iPad, and have not seen the above problem. Thankfully.

The above is a '49 Ford. Not a '51.

Cool choice Mike. I've always liked the looks of this one. I'll be curious to see how your model turns out.

Agreed.

Then the Lindberg ones are way off.

Cool. It will be fun to see it when it's done.

Fun kit. I built one about two or three years ago. My only complaint were with decals. They just weren't right. Got better and more correct decals from another source (though I can't remember where, right now). Other than that, I thought it went together pretty well. And looks pretty good.

What does this mean for us non-techy guys. Is there something bad going on here? I've been coming here for several years now. And not encountered any problems that I know. What would I be looking out for?

The two cars shown in the link above do nothing for me. When I think of LeMans and Porsche, I still think of the blue and orange Gulf-Porsche 917s. Still some of the best looking Porsches ever.

Don't forget the problem with the vent wing windows. Correct for '68. But not for '69.

There is nothing in the latest Round 2 video that I have interest in parting my hard earned bucks for. I'm a bit disappointed.

It looks better than I would have expected. Especially from Palmer. The only thing that looks wrong to me. And this is true with the MPC kit shown above too. Are the fake vents on the front fenders. Is that the way they looked without the factory stripes?

Bill might be right on everything he has to say above. But, still I like what I'm seeing. It looks pretty cool from both the pictures you posted John, and the box art photos. I know little to nothing about real drag cars. But again, I like the looks of this. Thanks John for sharing this with us. And I'm hoping to maybe hear more about it when you get to building it. I like reviews like this. Whether the kit is a piece of BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. Or totally inaccurate as this kit maybe. Not everybody sees things in the exact same way. As they say, "One man's junk is another man's treasure." And how am I going to know if it's junk or treasure to me, without seeing it? So, again thanks John.

Wow! That was cool. Just plain fun to watch. I loved mock fire drill. And then cringed, minutes later at the real fire. I was also surprised at how many of those cars I could identify. Maybe not exact model or year. But, by make quite a few. Thanks for sharing this with us Richard. It was quite a treat.

It looks pretty cool. But, look at that first picture, it looks like it would be terribly uncomfortable to drive. Especially for any length of time.

Like others have said above, I too think it would look good if it was finished.
