Very cool!

Welcome. Sounds like you have some experience in realism already doing aircrafts... should do well!

Thanks! Your parts definitely help make things better

I've got about 75 built, and I have nearly 200 unbuilt, and tons of rebuilders... and I got back into the hobby at the end of 2012 with only a stash of 60 kits lol

Thanks, its a great color. You can make it as light or as dark as you want it seems. I'm already thinking of another Mustang build similar to this but with a wild paint job.

Here's some more pics! Engine bay is finished and the decals have been applied. I've added a piece of wire to look like a wiring harness coming out of the firewall, also I cut little pieces of styrene strips painted blue, and glued them to the intake to simulate injectors, and used a small paperclip bent in a fashion to look like a fuel rail. Also added an MSD box to the fenderwell. Coil wire from distributor goes outside the engine bay to simulate a mostly tucked/hidden wiring harness/coil. Also added another wire off the throttlebody to simulate a throttle cable.

JUST finished this one last night. Still have a few small decals to apply (center caps/axles/fender rubber marks/contingency decals) Car is painted w/ Tamiya Mica Silver with Tamiya Metallic Orange over top and Tamiya clear. I did very minimal polishing to it. VERY minimal. Didnt wanna rub any color off the trim or spoiler on accident. M.A.D. Resin pre-wired distributor and MSD box. Custom license plate by me No underhood pics for some reason... but they'll be posted. I really liked this kit. Only complains are how the finished chassis fits into the body. I shaved the chassis plate down behind the rear wheel tubs considerably to get it in the body... And the other thing is, you practically have to install the headlight buckets AFTER the finished chassis is in the body... because when you push them in there where you think they look good, and glue them in place, the chassis will push them right back out. Also if you plan on putting the 5.0 decals on... shave the molded in emblems off... because they're NOT the same size... if you look close you'll see. More pics coming soon! Let me know what you think!

If you're me, you think it looks fantastic on the site of the AMT display case trailer, then you accidentally bend it and fill it full of wrinkles... only to have just wasted half of a sheet. Oops.

I had 2 in my cart from Dmold and I decided that I should wait until the weekend or something dumb to order them... went back and they were sold out... that was back last year lol

really? wow maybe I'm just blind now I will have to double check because thats the one I got too

I probably "should" work on my real 1:1 cars... but I probably won't.

It's a good looking truck, but may I suggest more pics and better lighting?

I did the math, and with the amount of kits I have yet to build (new not including rebuilders) if I build 1 a month, it would take me 15 years or just over to finish all of them. That's depressing.

I hate working on any more than 1 at a time because I go a.d.d. and don't finish anything. So I force myself to stick with 1 build on the bench at a time and I finish them so much quicker. Although right now I'm breaking my own rules and building 3 at once... truck, trailer, racecar.

Hard to believe Slixx didn't catch that. Beautiful recreation btw, love that movie. I wish it would be restored and cleaned up a little... I have it on DVD and the quality isn't good.

Beautiful model... but did anyone else notice what it says above the rear wheels?? Venolia POSTONS I just thought it was amusing

It's beautiful. Although in the last MIB movie, I was pretty fond of the Galaxie's they had.

Nope. Just the crazy bubble top and the piece to make it a 2 seater.

I wish the modern release of the 58 Bird had the stock roof too...

Friend of mine gave me one molded in red. It's missing just about everything... and is sort of a glue bomb. Thought about using the custom parts from my new one to make an "in progress" custom version out of the red one.

Great looking Starliner! I finally found a stock kit of a Starliner... now it's just a matter of deciding how I want to build it!

Love it. Love pretty much any Tom Daniel build really!

I used to heat up my Xacto blades ALL the time as a kid. Dad always wondered how I ruined so many of them. But I always had ok success at cutting with them. I didnt get them red hot just enough to help push thru the plastic.

I have about a half dozen of the monogram '30 5 window kits. Plus a few rebuilders and some parts kits, in all 3 shades of green they came in. Might have to get rid of a few once this new kit lands. Trans and rearend don't bother me. Just happy to have the new kit coming. Someone will make the stuff in resin I'm sure.

Can't wait. Thanks for the scoop. Next big question is, when does it hit the shelves?
