Very cool! I like it a lot. Scott

As nice as ever Jim. Another great build. Scott

Any more photos? Looks okay. But would love to see more. Scott

Very nice "T". You did a great job on it. I like it. Scott

Back to the Aussie stuff. I love cars and utes from down under. Let's see more. And for those without books on Australian cars (and even for those who do have some books), you might want to tell us what were looking at. The first series of pictures on the page before, look like two 70's Holdens and a 70's Falcon. The photo of the ute, is what a '66 or '67 Valiant Wayfair? Again these maybe common to you guys. But, to rest of the world they are uncommon and exciting. Share more with us. That goes for people from other parts of the world. Show us in the US what we may not know. Or know little of. There are a lot of cool cars out there that we do not see. Or likely to ever see here (though somebody has an early 70's Australian Falcon that sometimes shows up at car shows around here). Scott

I wonder how many people remember that Vauxhall Victors were sold in the United States from 1958 through 1962. Just as Buick dealers started carrying Opel in 1958. Pontiac dealers got Vauxhall. From my understanding, compared to the Opels, they were not very good cars and did not sell well at all. With Canada and their ties to Great Britain, Vauxhalls were more popular there. Starting in 1950 Pontiac/Buick dealers in Canada started selling Vauxhalls. In 1960, Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealers started handling a Vauxhall model in everything but name. Through your Chevy/Olds dealers you could buy a Vauxhall called the Envoy instead. The last Envoys were sold in Canada during the 1970 model year. For 1971 Vauxhall brought in a new model called Firenza. High prices and very low quality (the Firenza got a very bad reputation as a lemon), brought low sales to this model. For the 1973 model year, GM decided it was not worth bring Firenza up to the new safety and pollution control standards for Canada. Ending a 23 year run of Vauxhalls in Canada. Scott

Ah... It now makes sense. Scott

?????? Have watching these videos of stupid people here done something to my brain? I don't understand what Mr. Stiles is saying here at all. Scott

What's the typing error you guys are referring to? Scott

As others have said, another great review Tim. I did not know about the rear quarter panel problem with original. Did of course notice the bucket seat problem. I still don't understand how they did that one originally. It really stands out. But, I'm glad to see Revell is listening and corrected these problems. Now if they could only do a '70 Mercury Cyclone GT for us. Tim, I love your reviews. They are the best. So keep them coming. Scott

Love them both! Still the best looking Ford from the 1930's in my opinion. In November the Model Car Club of Minnesota is having '36 Ford judging contest. If you were up here, you might have a good chance winning with those two. Scott

That's it. After seeing the cactus body slam, we need the cactuses to start providing themselves with signs and some kind barrier to protect themselves from idiot humans. They should also get insurance. Because you know someone is going blame the cactus for this and sue someday. Those evil stupid cactuses tempting kids like that. What's next for "cactus body slamming boy"? Kissing porcupines? I suggest licking hi-power voltage lines. What harm can come from that? Scott

That's right you did mention that in your first posting on the car. I forgot, after you posted the later message. Sorry. Scott

I too wonder if Joel ever finished this. A very nice guy. He use to be a regular member of our local model car club. Miss him and the unique models he built. Scott

Beautiful model. I wish AMT/Round 2 would reissue this kit. I'm always curious about how easy or hard is this kit to really build? Scott

Very nice. Scott

How about a photo of the end result? Scott

Okay Mike! I love the real wagon! It's prefect. And the Comet Ranchero model! Another person who thinks the same way I do. Very cool! The taillights and tailgate insert from a Palmer kit? I'm glad to see that works. Palmer kits can be a little iffy on the details. I'll be very interested in seeing this model when it's done. Scott

If you do a web search for Cadillac station wagons, you will find others identical other than color to the one you saw. So somebody was "professionally" doing the converted Cadillac you saw. Scott

Wow! That was stupid! But, sorry to say I did laugh. Scott

What are the kits? What kind of shape and how complete are they? Bagged? Where are the boxes? Are they built? Or unbuilt? We need more information. Scott

Okay, I'm over it. And here is the one car more any other I'd like to see done as a 1/25th scale model kit. 1960 Chrysler 300F convertible. Still one of the most beautiful cars in world. Yat Ming offers a prebuilt die cast in 1/18 scale. Which is very nice, and I do own one. But, I'd still love to this as 1/25 scale kit. Scott

Great review of the kit Tim. It looks like a great kit. And I can't wait to pick one up. Scott

From what I can see, it look pretty nice. Scott

Wow Jon! I've been building for about 50 years now. And I'm nowhere close to being that good. I impressed. And welcome to the group here. Look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.with Scott
