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.

I love Buick Wildcats. Especially convertibles. And your Wildcat model maybe one of the nicest I've ever seen.

Sweet! A great combo. I don't know which vehicle I like better? The Stingray or the El Camino? You a great job on both.

Looks good. I like it.

Very nice. I like it.

I'd like to see more of MPC kits come back that all accessories already in them. Like the Commando above. Or the '69 Bonneville hardtop with the canoe and roof rack. The '69 Grand Prix with skis, ski racks, and snow tires. The '68 Dodge Coronet with the U-Haul style trailer. And many others. That was always one of the fun things with several MPC kits in the 60's. The extras.

Pretty nice. ?

Sorry, but that is darn ugly. Canadian variants tend to be cool in general IMO. But, the Mercury truck above? You did a nice job Glen, of building it. From that perspective it looks pretty good. It's just Fords styling department I question on this one.

Very nice ?

A model of a Falcon Heavy with a Tesla roadster and Starman as cargo? I love the idea, and would for sure buy one. Neat idea.
