Very nice pair Jim! The Phantom is amongst my favorite jets as well. I've got a couple 1/48 ones in the stash I'd like to build, but like you mentioned, space is a issue.

Thanks guys! For being such a simple kit it really presents itself well. I forgot to mention in the original post that I did deepen the panel lines, as well as scribing in a couple missing ones. Thanks Bob. It went better than I was expecting. While trimming the foil the knife took well to edge of the trim, allowing for some pretty straight lines.

That's a great build, Curtis! Calypso Coral is a awesome color, and you did a fantastic job getting such a smooth and shiny finish. Congtrats!

Finished this one up last evening. I had the need to slam a curbside together to help cleanse the palate of sorts, and this one did the trick. She's completely box stock other than the side mirror I dug out from the parts box, and filing down the wing window frames a bit. Hosed down in Tamiya Base White, while the interior was treated to Model Master Nassau Blue with Tamiya transparent blue accents. Looks good on the shelf. Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.

An absolute homerun, wonderful build Niko! Even though it was a long time in the works, it was totally worth it.

Thanks guys!

That's a stunner Marcos!

Now that is a wild ride, very cool and well built. Congrats!

Very sharp Coronet, in one of Mopar's best colors. Well done!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! While I do like the movie car itself, I just had to put my own spin on it.

That actually made me chuckle, I don't know if I've heard that one before. Thanks Bob. I had a vision for this kit and went with it, and pretty much nailed what I was going for. This kit is a good foundation to build into something of your own. Grab one and have fun! And yes, I agree, as builders we are our own worst critics. Think it comes naturally in this hobby.

Started off as Dom's GTX, but had to build it my way. I felt like I was never going to complete this one as I started it back in November. I dropped in a Iceman Collections Hellcat engine for some serious motivation. Fitting it into the car took some work, with all the pulleys on this thing, there was no way the k-frame was going to work. So, I scratched in a coilover type suspension and new engine cradle. In the process, ended up having to flip the oil pan around with the sump in back for clearance. Other mods underneath are subframe connectors, front and rear torque boxes, aluminum tube drive shaft, and parts box exhaust and rear shocks. Lastly, the front chin spoiler was also scratched. Under the hood resides a larger radiator with electric fans. While I don't mind the wheels/tires it comes with, I ditched those and slapped on some classic 5 spokes from Jay's Resin. Paint is Model Master Flame Red. I wish my camera would pick up the color better, it really is more of a pure bright red than what this shows. Interior is Tamiya White. Lastly, some Keith Marks decals rounded out the build. Unfortunately had a couple snafu's during final assembly and buggered up the paint in a couple spots, but cleaned them up best I could and trucked on. Eagle eyes might spot them. Also, the PE "supercharged" on the right side coil pack cover broke on me. Overall really happy with the build and was a fun (sometimes frustrating) challenge getting it all dialed in. Next build is going to be a straight forward easy one though! Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.

The more I look at this, the more I like! Love those stacks, and the hood locks. Great take on this kit, and many well deserved congrats! What's the bronze color on the wheels?

Thanks Bill. I do believe Keith Marks made a set for this car, but it sounds like he is closing up shop and may not be available anymore. I do believe the ones on mine are Cady's but are probably even harder to find nowadays.

That is one excellent looking build! Paint and decal work is beautifully done, as is that killer Hemi and all it's detail.
