  1. This is a car I wish someone like Revell would tackle as a regular 1/25th scale styrene kit. I'm surprised no one has. Scott
  2. The brown box art car is the kit I built. It went together OK. I don't remember any major problems. Only minor problem as noted in my first post here. Scott
  3. Love Aussie muscle cars. I wish there were kits offered of several of cars. Scott
  4. Lovely car. One of my favorites. I still need a decent, reasonably price, and not too complicated to build, 1/25th (or 1/24th) scale model kit of this car. I don't understand why this car is not offered in kit fom by somebody like Revell. Scott
  5. Typical MPC kit from early 1970's. So expect low detail, especially with chassis. Not a bad kit overall. In general builds into a decent looking model. One little detail I like in this kit is the separate non-chrome grille inserts. I'm not concerned about the wrong spoiler. I like that generation GTO clean without things like spoilers. I'm not happy with the incorrect exhaust tips. Scott
  6. Yea, Keith Marks is a little slow at times. But, worth the wait. Never had any real problem with him ever. Seems like a decent guy to deal with over all. Great decals, by the way. Scott
  7. Question? Has anybody ever successfully built AMT's (old MPC) Display Case Trailer, in its complete clear form? And if so, how do you do it? The instructions are of little to no help. How does one line everything up, glue it together, and get it to stay in place, all at the same time? Tried Testor's Model Master clear parts cement and tape to hold it together. But, no luck. The parts are not warped and line up straight. Just a little baffled on how to put the clear parts together successfully. I hope someone can tell me how to do this. Scott
  8. Another nice Ford, Tulio. I like the job you did on the correct factory pin striping. Very nice. Scott
  9. Another one? Boy do you like your AMT '57 Fords. Scott
  10. Very nice. But I like your stock one better Tulio. Scott
  11. Another nicely built AMT '57 Ford. But, coming from Tulio I expected no less. Again, despite Revell's wonderful new '57 Ford, AMt's is still a nice kit. Scott
  12. The top car is a 1969 Roadrunner. The next car directly above is not a 1970 Roadrunner, but a 1971 Roadrunner. Scott
  13. What exactly is wrong with this kit? Other glass fitting issues? I'm hearing complain about this kit, but what are exactly is everybody else complaining about? I build an Ertl release of this kit maybe 10 or more years ago. Other than not liking the taillights and the lack of chrome on the tree that included the rear seat speaker/trim, I didn't think the kit was too bad. I don't remember any problems with the fit of the glass. Is the glass too big? Too small? What? How about some pictures showing us the problems. Without see it, I don't know if I'd find it a problem or not. If it's minor, I can fix it. These are old kits. Things don't fit as well as they do on modern tooled kits. I expect that and have to be willing to work around that. In many cases I've been doing that since these kits were new. Scott
  14. Very nice. But, I'm wondering what kit that is? Who made the kit? Scott
  15. Turned out nice. But you need to have people see this in the "On the Workbench" segment to see some of your smaller details like the coolers, flip flops, etc. Very nice. By the way, did you get your tailgate to function? Can you open and close it? Or did you discover it was just easier to glue it closed like most of the people I know who have built this kit in past? Plus the original instructions told you you could not use the rear bumper guards if you were going to have your tailgate work. I see no rear bumper guards. So I'm wondering if you got your's to works? Scott
  16. Very cool Pat. Neat looking plane. I see it's a Russian model kit. Is it also a Russian plane? Scott
  17. Nice build and nice color. But, tell us more about the color. What is it? And who makes it? Scott
  18. Oh, by the way, equipped right those A100s could handle a camper like that just fine. Back in the day you'd see them set up with a camper on back, quite frequently. Scott
  19. Very nice Rick. We need not only a Ford version, but a Corvair Rampside too. Love those old forward control trucks. Scott
  20. All right! A Mutt II! Everybody likes to put Mustang IIs down. For the time they were right for where the market was at. And still like them. Scott
  21. Ron it's a compliment that your car reminds so many people of Biff's. Back to Future was a great set of movies, that would have really would have gone no where without a character like Biff Tanner. And I think the one thing we all like about Biff is his car. Still a little cow dung would be fun. Scott
  22. Not my style. But I still like what you did. I can appreciate the work that went in it. Any even though it's not my style. And I too shake my head when I see things like that on the road. The big question becomes, it is your kit, and do you like it? As long as you like it it's OK. Scott It would be a boring world if we all like the same thing. Though we all know the rest of you have no taste. And only the things I like are truly good!
  23. Wow looks great! Another oldie I wish Revell would dust off the dies for and repop. In the mean time, great job Alan. Scott
