Thanks Richard. Well you live and learn, it seems the looks are deceptive where the handling is concerned. The French seem to have a proud tradition of deliberately odd styling! Viva la revolution!

That looks amazing - what scale is it? It's huge!

I knew this one, unfortunately - I've tried to put it out of my mind but failed! Not a stylistic success to my mind. Ideal for truffle-hunting with it's big snout, probably not so eager to turn into corners...

PM sent. I always think one of these would make a great gasser.

Good working drawings, you have captured the subtle lines of the Charger well. We look forward to seeing these projects.

Great to see all these takes on Miss Deal! I love them all.

Superb! I love this car. Well done, Lee

Thanks again for all your kind comments, glad Miss Deal could stir some good memories and responses!

Thanks Robert The headers were chrome originally. I really recommend this kit for a taste of old skool modelling!

Thanks all for your kind comments Yes the headers were a pain, but then there were a few fitment issues, mainly due to the age of the mouldings I guess. Cheers, -Don.

Here's my take on the great Revell Miss Deal. I added chrome backs to the headlights then dropped clear varnish into them to give a pleasing yellow shine. I painted on the rear lights and threw away the push bar (foot) which to my mind just looked silly - and she does have a starter motor so it's not needed! I also added rear supports to the roll cage and moved the steering wheel and seat to a left hand drive setup. I cut down a dash panel with a couple of instruments from an old F1 kit and added that and also made a rear window 'cos it looks better that way! I threw away the two-part body support strut as it looked clumsy and I could not fathom how and where it was supposed to fit. I also had to lower the entire cage and do some sanding of the front internal frame to get the stance just right - I dislike 'nose-up' gassers and street freaks! Let me know what you make of the stance I arrived at (looking at you Bill!) I've wanted this model since I was 15 years old - finally got one fifty years later. Not perfect but I love it ? The kit is showing it's age but I thoroughly enjoyed building it - and it looks great on display with the Vette and the Charger.

PM sent A lovely thing to behold!

Just got a PM from Michael (Thanks!) so all is well?

Thanks for checking Peter. Keep hoping all's well ?

I hope all's well with Michael as this thread seems to have gone a bit quiet and he's not responded to the PM I sent a while back for this quiz. Are you OK, Michael?

Nice! PM sent,

I've also PM'd.? Hope everyone on the forum is well Cheers, -Don.

I thought I knew too, but it ain't one of them. I hope you were right, whatever you PM'd, Bill! Cheers, -Don.

Don't give up on us Michael! Cheers, -Don.

The Magnificent Seven!?

I've been contracting for over 20 years now, it seems it's us rather than the permanent staff who have the motivation to get stuff done - if we don't, we don't get counselling and training we just get given our marching orders! I'm now 64 and busier than ever.

I should have got this as it is so familiar to me. Christmas brain fade. Happy New Year, Auto-quizzers! Cheers, -Don.

Easiest one yet for me! Nice car. Cheers, -Don.

Keen to know what it is but right now I have no idea.

Fair comment, thanks Michael.. Cheers, -Don.
