I agree. A remake of Duel or Bullitt would be a sin. There have been several more modern takes on Bullitt’s famous case scene. None of them as good as the original.

Your model may not be perfect. But, I like it. As far as Dual goes. It still ranks as one of my all time favorite movies. I was lucky enough to see it the night it premiered on ABC’s Movie of the Week. I was blown away at the time. And still am every time I’ve seen it since. I like the additions they added for the later theatrical release. They added more good stuff to an already great story.

There is no question in my mind that the modern four-door Charger is by far a superior car to the Chargers of the 1960’s and 70’s. Mechanically and in general operation. My modern, four-door, Chevy Cruise is phenomenal car. In functionality and reliability it is much better than any car I’ve ever own from the 1980’s, or further back. I still think my first car, a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker, was a much prettier car. And will always be look back on it through rose colored glasses. Despite the problems with the brakes and the 6 volt starting system.

A four-door Charger. After all of these tears, it still doesn’t seem right to me. I’m still stuck in the past. This kit will never end up in my collection. At the same time, I hope it sells well. Making Round 2 a boat load of money and bring a newer generation into model building. It’s the right direction for them to go.

Thank you for getting us back on track. And that above, I like.

Wow! I love the above Geno. Great job. And that’s not discount the fine job Greg’s done his either. Still my favorite of Tom Daniel’s kits. “Stock”, his design. Or modified like yours and Gregs.

Interesting, you bring up the “Bad Actor”. Tom Daniel makes no mention of that kit on his website. I believe this was a modification of his Street Fighter/Quicksilver that he had nothing to do with.

Another Daniel’s designed kit I hope Atlantis has the tooling for, and someday will reissue, is the Mean Maverick.

In general I’m not a huge fan of show rods either. Especially ones that would not be drivable in real life. I guess that’s why I liked Tom Daniel’s designs, especially his early stuff, they look like things you could still drive in real life. My favorite design of his is the “Street Fighter,” ‘60 Chev sedan delivery. I’d love to go cruisin around in something like that in real life. I have two Street Fighters in my collection. One I’ve built. And an unbuilt one autographed by Mr. Daniel, that Mr. Daniel himself gave me a few years back. One of my most treasured models in my collection.

The model kit came out first, in 1971. The Hot Wheel wagon version followed a few years later.

I’d love to see more books and magazines dealing with specific cars and trucks that were sold only in Canada. Things like Canadian only Pontiacs, Meteors, Monarchs, Fargos, etc.

Thank you.

Interesting look.

Stunning job on the Riv. Beautiful.

Two nice looking As. Though I like green one better than the red one. The color compliments the car quite nicely.

Beautiful job. The older I get, the better I like Porsche 356s.

I’m bringing this tread back, as I’m wondering since Atlantis now has a lot of both Revell’s and Monogram’s old tools, if there might be any chance of them bringing back either the Poison Pinto or the Rat Vega? As note in past posting here, I’d love to see either of them come back. But, especially the green version of Poison Pinto.

A lovely little roaster (actually both of them). Nice, simple, and clean. I like it.

Wow! Very nice.

Beautiful build (of course).

Very nice. I too like Thunderbolts.

Thank you.

Well, the Atlantis folks are as good as their word. Friday, they told the missing parts were on there way. They arrived in today’s mail. That’s fast service. I’m impressed.

Thank you.
