What can one say? But Wow!

Very nice Cobra.

Wow! Is that nice. I like it.

Wow! Beautiful model.

Very Kool.

Very nice job. Beautiful Buick.

Very nice job.

Wow! Looks very nice.

All 3 are very nice of course, Steve. But, one question. Did Chrysler offer the '65 300s with dog dishes like you have on your model? They look nice. But are they correct?

As always, thanks Snake.

I did not see the video. But your right, no Rambler qualifies as "Art Deco."

The Pod looks great Ray. But it's not a Cobra!

Cool! The original LIS and Robot is still cool.

Very cool tank. The other tanks are cool too.

At the time I built the kit, I did a little research online. It is based on a real Chris-Craft boat. I don't remember much about it. But I was able to find photos of a Chris-Craft boat that matched the AMT kit fairly close. It's seems to me that it was based on a boat that Cris-Craft offered only for a few years during the 1950s. But it is based on a real Chris-Craft boat they manufactured for a few years.

A quick build. I'm impressed. If you told me it took you several weeks to build it, I'd still be impressed.

Oh. And I'd like see a restored version of the Visiable V8. Needs the electric motor and lighting spark plugs put back in. Also Revell's Slant 6 talked about in another recent thread here, would be cool be see come back. I was too young to buy it when it was last offered. Another one I to young to buy, was the coffee can shaped space station kit, they first released back in 1959. I've written to Revell to inquire about the dies for this kit. And was told they are long gone. Not a car model. But, a model I'd like to see no less.

I would like to see Revell reissue Monograms's Ghost of the Red Baron. I know it wasn't a big seller back in the day. I think it might sell better today. And now to upset one or two people. I'd still like to see if Revell has the dies and can reissue the Renwall Exner/Revival series of cars. From what I've seen of them, they might not be the best, or most detailed kits ever designed. But, I still think they're cool. And would be willing the buy at least one of each if they came back out.

??? How does this fit in with the Rambler?

Yea, that looks like the same engine in the Avenger's instruction sheet I saw online. So you say it's better than the instructions indicate?

Don't feel too bad for me. I'll survive without those "missing kits." Heck, I'll even be somewhat happy without those kits. ?

The '32 Ford Greg showed in his first post in this thread. The one that came with the Willys coupe. The Willys coupe has been reissued a million times. It's a great kit. But, it's everywhere. I'm working on one right now. But, the '32 sedan. That's one of my "holy grail" kits. I love that Edsel front grille, and that side pipe setup. Other than that there are many kits that I missed the chance at getting back in the day. Lack of money. Stupidity. Or both. Changes in taste. Two others on that list? Jo-Han '66 Cadillac ambulance and/or hearse. And MPC's 1972 Impala. A third one I missed, and wanted badly, was IMC's Avenger GT-12. I got lucky yesterday. And found one I could afford. And bought it. There are several kits I did not miss at the time. But, not knowing what they would be worth to me someday, I did not keep. That's is real sad part of the story. Biggest regret with that one? AMT's Chevy Open Road camping van. There are others. But, that's still the big one to me.

What is it? Is is that huge Russian jet frieghter?

From what I've seen on the kit, mostly online, there is fairly stock VW chassis in this kit. And another one that puts the "hemi" engine closer to the front of the car. Requiring you to cut a hole in part of the rear of the front hood and the dashboard. Speaking of "hemi" engine, as stated on the side of the box that comes with in this kit. It looks in the instructions like no hemi I've ever seen. I'll be curious to see exactly what V8 engine it comes with. After looking at the instructions online, the way the kit shows off the engine. I'll be sticking with the stock Volkswagen power plant. If I stuck a Corvair engine in there like I originally planned, it would never be seen. Makes sense and is easier to stick with the stock Beetle engine in that case. Naturaly since I just ordered this kit yesterday, it has not arrived yet. Looking forward to seeing what I get. And have plenty of time to still debate with myself on using the Corvair power plant or not.

There should be differences in the front and rear bumpers. The '74s had no bumper guards molded into the front or rear bumpers, like the '75s and '76s. There is also a difference in how "Corvette" is spelled out on the back bumper certain years.
