  1. This is the new Revell kit. I really enjoyed the kit. It's not bad at all and is an improvement over the old kit, but it does have its issues. With the carb on the hood sits too high. With it off the shaker sits too low. I glued the shaker straight to the hood and took the carb off to fix the problem. I also had a bit of a problem with the front an rear end fit, but it came out looking good anyway. I love the new stripes and emblem decals. they look great! The red car is the old kit for comparison.

  2. Love it
  3. That looks great. I may have to get one.
  4. Nice 70. If you do want to make a 71, there's a few trans kits out there. I did one a few years ago using a Hart's Parts grill and some decals I got off eBay. It looks alright, but doesn't have the correct tail lights. SAM_0602 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr
  5. Finished mine last night. I did have the shaker hood problem. Ended up just gluing the shaker to the hood and I had to remove the carb to make the hood shut. Had a little trouble getting the front and rear end on as well. Didn't remember that issue with my last one. Hope to post the pics soon. It's mine and my dad's birthday weekend, so I've been busy. I really like how the ones others have doe came out. I wish mine looked that good.
  6. With the shaker and the firewall in place the hood doesn't fit. Had to take out the firewall and glue the shaker directly to the hood for a good hood fit on the old kits. I believe I've seen it mentioned before on here.
  7. Had the kit for a few weeks, but didn't have a chance to work on it much. Finally got it finished Tuesday night. The kit is great, but there's a few minor issues. Still it came out working great! Bought another one to paint in green after seeing the other 71 posted on here. I loved that color.

  8. Ordered mine last night. Hope they fixed the hood issue. Been wanting another one. Depending on how it looks, I might even pick up another for my friend.
  9. Looks great. Almost a twin of the last one I did.
  10. Looks great. A lot better than how mine turned out.
  11. Mega Hobby just posted a listing for it some time in November. $32
  12. Looks great! I went with yellow for mine, but now I might have to grab another kit. That color looks too good not to.
  13. ?
  14. Nice. They're great kits.
  15. Looks great. Mine got damaged in shipping so it didn't come out quite that well. It's a good little kit.
  16. They're great kits; I got two. Engine detail looks great.
