    Nice job on a nice kit.

    The 1972 SS454 Chevelle needs to come back
  3. Bob Ellis
    The 427 engine is nice but I would like the 1/25 motorcycles Is the 1/25 Ranchero in this tool lot?
  4. Bob Ellis
    The Wedge /open road camper included no chevy pick up. But the 1972 Chevy fleetside pick up is back.
  5. Bob Ellis
    Yes, I have the Racers Wedge and it builds a stock 1972 C10 pickup.

    I am glad this kit comes with a small block 327. Most Impala kits seem to have only big blocks. Too many 409s.

    Snake45, your model looks great! Great save.

    MY final opinion of this kit is that it's a winner. My builder originals are poor, so this was money better spent.
  9. Bob Ellis
    It is a Barris custom design. That may be enough interest.

    I think I paid $35 for my 1966 Skylark builder in 2012. At the time, I thought that was outragious pricing. Fortunately I got my missing parts from Modelhaus before the end. I used to buy Modelhaus and builders at the same time. Today builders are a real lottery.

    While the tool could be restored, neither the movie or model were a roaring success in 1967. I question whether enough interest is there for Round2 to make a go of it.

    It became the FIREBUG in the 1970s. Tool was modified.

    The Revell Monogram 1965 Impala convertible windshield works for all the 1965-1970 big GM cars.

    Good point . That trim is very thin and foil doesn't have much to attach to. I might go with silver paint.

    I love broken promos. A great starting point. I cut open the hoods.

    Michelle, You did a nice job converting this Superbee kit to an RT. I have an original MPC R/t kit and it is no better than your Hart's resin conversion.

    How do you buy the 1977 Cougar and 1971 Olds 98?
  18. Bob Ellis
    I can just increase the wheelbacks with Evergreen styrene. Problem solved I never realized that these are the original tires

    I have built the Revell version of the 1967 SS36 but not the AMT. Your build looks nice. I may have to find this kit someday.
  20. Bob Ellis
    I general, I'm happy with the kit. Kudos to Round2.

    The 327 is more representative of the 1962-66 Impalas than big blocks 409s , 396s and 427s. And the valve cover are so unique on the 327. Revell did a nice job recreating it in 1/25.

    I started to fit this kit before painting and found the following issues; The wheelbacks are too small and the tires flop off The chassis screws are too small and only 2 fasten end to the body There are tabs for the hood clip but there is no clip All fixable items, but i makes me think that nobody at Round2 assembled this kit before shipping. Maybe the did but said "oh ####!" and thought nobody will notice?
  23. Bob Ellis
    Can't wait to see this kit
  24. Bob Ellis
    I thought Daisy Dukes had a 1973 Roadrunner?
  25. Bob Ellis
    I know original was not a 442. But ERTL was known for taking pictures of original kits to promote reissues
