Hard_2_Handle_454

It would have been interesting. I want to say that the kit did have a removable hard top though. As for the fit issue, if you put the dash on the interior tub where it says, there will be a huge gap between it and the wind shield. I ended up gluing it in the right spot by the windshield and then placed the tub in (Which was hard because of the control box being part of the dash assembly. It runs dash to floor board.). You can't see it in the shot because of the perspective, but the doors have a gap between them and the wall, and the hand brake and other controls are pushed way forward. The rod for the rear tires is also a little to long, but it's barely noticeable. I really liked the kit though. It came out beautiful.

I didn't either until I randomly came across it. There's an S600 kit out there too. I think it's the same kit, just different box art since everything is in the kit to make the different versions. There's a few on ebay and Megahobby sells them as well.

thanks

It is, picked it up a few months ago with my work bonus gift card

Came across this on eBay and thought it looked cool. Paid a lot for it, but it's worth it. The kit says it's a 1:24th scale, but it's a 1:25th scale. There's also extra parts to make the S500 and 600 versions. The kit isn't too bad, but it has some flaws. Like a lot of models there's not much room for the windshield to be glued in. There's also a major fit issue with the dash. If you follow the directions, there's a huge gap between the dash and the windshield/firewall area. I could fit another dash and a half in that gap. I had to rework the model some to make it look right. I was also puzzled that the underside has the engine molded in and that the hood is molded on, but there's an option to cut the hood off and then have a partial build of the engine. Why not just have the hood off and build the whole engine to sit in there? Kinda weird, but it's nice for a foreign model to even have that option. I gotta go back and paint the emblems on the caps, but over all I think it came out great.

Been wanting one in the collection for awhile. The kit isn't bad. Still AMT puzzles me with their kits. You finally start to put side mirrors with the kit. Excellent. You also add decals that are more than lisence plates and race decals. Awesome! However, once placed on the model you can barely see the decal. Not cool. Also, you have headlight lenses for the custom kit, but not the stock version. WTF?!

Been wanting one of these for awhile. Not bad at all. You can build it a few ways. SAM_0083 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0084 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0085 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0086 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0087 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_0088 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr

Looks great. That green was a good choice.

Nice color combination. These were really good kits. I greatly enjoyed mine.

Very Nice

Nice work

Very Nice!

Not liking the 440 call out decals. Would like to have seen some other color choices for a stock build. May have to pass on the kit, now.

Came out amazing. I might have to pick one up now.

Used to see a lot of these at the Charlotte Auto Fair. The have a Desoto club that attends every year.

There's a Charger/Galant kit on the market. You might be able to make a nice Valiant Charger conversion out of it. I have the kit in my stash somewhere and it's not bad at all.

cool

Gonna start mine next week. Have a wedding to attend this week so I didn't want to start it.

Very Nice

You did a real good job on this one. I think it's one of my favorites I've seen you do.

Just a regular pen. I start in pencil and then go over it with a pen.

Just wanted to show off some of my art. Comments appreciated.

Sweet
