Like in Timbuktu

1/25 or 1/24 is preferred. But, 1/32 is better than nothing. Who makes a 1/32 scale Cobra coupe? Is it styrene or resin? Is it readily available? And affordable?

Snow. And more snow ❄️. Can't get away from the darn stuff! Notice the the shape of the snow on the above tree. It's the shape of Minnesota! And that face! Old Man winter is mocking us! There is no hope!

Why there is not a common styrene kit of the above car baffles me? Still one of the great looking, and great race cars of all time.

Good. '67 is still my favorite year for the big Pontiacs, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

It's going to be tough to replicate a '79 though '81 Mustang GT. Since Ford didn't offer a Mustang GT between 1969 and 1982. The closest thing to the GT in 1979, '80, and '81 were the gaudy, overdressed (IMO) Mustang Cobras. Thankfully they cleaned up the car a bit with the reintroduction of the GT in 1982.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this one yet. Other than the missing headlamp and rear license plate covers, it looks pretty good. I've got a bit of a soft spot for those early six cylinder Corvettes. I think they're pretty cool.

As always, beautiful work from you Steven. I'm hoping to see this car "in the flesh" at the next NNL here in the Twin Cities this May. It's always a pleasure see you and your builds.

Very nice!

Ah! "What Lola wants. Lola gets."* Very nice. * I wonder how many guys out there know where Broadley got the name "Lola" for his race cars? There is a big hint in the quote I used.

Very nice. I particularly love the colors.

Stunning job. Though they are more correct on a Hemi car, than not, I maybe the only one here who is not a big fan of the dog dishes on this car. But, everybody has different tastes. And that's okay.

Everybody above keeps saying nice. I'll go one step farther and say I think it's beautiful.

I'm not a big fan of the vehicle itself. But, I can echo just about everything else others have said above. It's a very nice model. And if I don't really care for it, I'm glad to see it. You did a great job.

A stunning beauty. I like it.

Oh! By the way. I too love the '56 Packard Clipper taillights. Still one of best looking taillights ever designed. One of Richard Teague's best designs. That's for sure. Hard to believe, but Teague who designed those beautiful Clipper taillights, would go on less than twenty years later and give us the AMC Pacer.

Very kool. A true late 50's, early 60's style kustom.

No matter what you say Snake. And what evidence you may try to show me. I know in my heart, that the stork did bring them. I refuse to allow the facts to water down my beliefs. ?

I prefer vinyl tires. At the same time, I've built several kits over the years using the styrene tires that came with the kit. Like the Munster's Koach for example. With pretty decent results. Still, if given the choice, give me the soft vinyl tires found in most model car and truck kits.

Hey guys. It turns out the flat earth people are right! Look what I picked up at a local hobby store (Scale Model Supplies, St. Paul, MN). I'm sorry. I can't help myself.

The rear seat seat back is still a problem. That's the one thing they did not update. The rear seat seat back is still the one for the '67 Mustang Interior Decor Option. Horizontal pleats, and the medallions. The rest of the interior is correct for the '68 standard interior. Including the rear seat, seat bottom. There is one other thing incorrect in the interior. The dashboard has the Stewart Warner gauges, oil pressure and amperes, mounted under the radio. As seen as standard equipment on the '67 Shelby Mustangs. Are these two things major problems for me? No. I'd prefer if the correct rear seat seat back was there. But, will it be really seen in the built kit? I'm not sure. The Shelby gauge setup? Not correct. But, on a car without a console like this one, I might consider adding it on the real car. So again, not a big deal for me. It should be noted, that if those gauges are a big deal. They can easily be removed from the model's dashboard. The solution to the rear seat seat cushion is not an easy fix. But, I live with it.

Were the above kits any good? Lindberg kits from that era can be a little iffy.

I too agree with your above statements. You mentioned a Suburban for that generation. I've always loved the 3-door Suburbans. Make mine a '69 or '70, 2-wheel drive, bucket seats, and the middle and rear bench seats. With the factory roof air conditioning set up. That and a Class III. What more could one ask for? (Maybe a GMC from the same two years?)

In today's mail? Revell's '68 Mustang with the correct interior inside. I am pleased.

My '68 Mustang arrived today. Because of the above conversation, I quickly opened mine up to see what I got interior wise. Below, is what I found in the sealed kit I just bought.
