  1. Great work going on here Jim, can't wait to see it in primer and paint !
  2. I think most people did.. Researching it is difficult too.. not many pics of the round light Montes out there..
  3. Cool dio..great lineup of classics !
  4. So, I picked one of these up last week .. ....but it's a '74.. I've always loved the livery on this.. Daytona ...Hawaiian Tropic... still smell it now..mmm When I opened the box, I was a little shocked to see the clownish front end ..big square, boxy frog like headlight arrangement and the wrong covered turn signals in the bumper... And ..gotta say, the front end and wheel wells were WAY out...front end looked more like a Granada or a Lincoln also the chrome bumper is made out of titanium.. so, cut about 1/16th" out of the bottom of the headlight valance, and cut off the oversized (in my opinion) screen grille off the bumper assembly The front quarter got some more surgery,..a good 1/8" cut out of the lower edge And then the roof top.. sanded the edge of the window opening onto the top transition, it was too square ..to my eye Squared up the opera window with the side mains Can't quite figure out these destructions yet... which hole does this show...there are 4 ..? Hogged out the front wells... this is the stance I'm going for More as time permits
  5. Got the finishing touches onto the H2R last night...a fun build using left over decals from a F1 Ferrari kit and various sponsor decals from my stash... Painted with Duplicolor red and white, and mostly Tamiya acrylics. Enjoy ! Cheers

  14. Hey thanks for stopping by Tim...yeah when you have extra decals you gotta use 'em up..lol The masking and painting took the most time..the Tamiya kit went together flawlessly, but I can't build anything out of box I guess

  16. Hasegawa has something similar, in a 6 spoke, in their Porsche 962 Blaupunkt kit Or Aoshima has these, although they are not deep and deeper
