Young iron

These wire wheels are soooo sick ! Can't wait to put them under a few 1970's customs and vans.

Very nice kit, indeed. A small-enough SBC could barely fit in the engine bay. Just like real ones I guess. Would buy a new copy for sure...

Thanks for your review. I was also afraid he stopped his business. Keith always have been great.

I love big scales. Even if 1/12 and bigger require huge painting spaces, I guess 1/16 is just accurate. Just coming back to modeling after a 8-year stop, I heat-up skills before starting a 1/16 MPC 1980 T/A.

-The MPC 1979 Nova wheels are neither multipiece nor accurate. BTW, 1969 Chevy Rallyes are included in the 1969 Chevelle, but Fireball Modelworks offer 21st-century ones with a better look. That's what should happen with the 6_slots. -Good luck having a 1:24 (almost 1:23) Monogram hood fit a 1:25 (almost 1:26) Mpc kit -I wish I can use a real well-detailed 231ci from today's 3D-print for 1980 Camaros, Monte-Carlos, Firebirds. -Modelhaus used to offer very nice wire-wheel covers with 2 spokes spinners. Wish they were still offered by Modelhaus Tires, they would fit dozens of builds. -I wish we had a link to the Ebay wheel covers seller. Thanks for the help.

The forthcoming reissue of this kit opens many directions to aftermarket parts sellers : Berlinetta decals, 1980 Deluxe wheel-covers (same as 1973 Malibu), 1981 simulated cross-lace wheel covers, 1976-1977 trtanskits (the Luka Cee 1974 transkit should work), multi-piece 6-slot Rally wheels. 231ci V6 engines, wire wheel covers. Or maybe Round2 will consider them. 😍

Isn't that a Ram Air V ?

We already have 71s, 72s and 75/76s. What about a 70 and a 73 ?

Great idea to correct the Amt 1970 Malibu. Would it be a kind of Baldwin-Motion or any dealer-prepped Chevelle ?

???

now the real question : did Revell modify the original mold, and will we be offered again the T-tops Camaro ?

Keith Marks still produce excellent decals. Cheaper... Accueil public | mofobow@hotmail.com | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.

Hello kitmakers. I hope most builders will agree this post. These years, you have offered really great cars in kit forms. You brung us back 1960s classic Muscle, 1970s Econoboxes, Vans, Wagons, light-tricks, etc. Maybe it's time to explore a new way. GM has offered endless variations of 1973-1977 A-body "Colonnade" coupes. And almost no one is offered in scale, just the 1976 Revell Chevy Montecarlo, that sells good for a curbside with no Stock version. I'm sure you would success, offering 1973 Malibu SS, 1977 Olds 4-4-2, 1973 GTO or 1977 Can-Am. Still weird for the good-old aging Pre-1973 public, these cars are getting more and more popular. They are considered as true classics on both the Lowrider and Restomod scene, and as much as we getting distance from the 1970s, they are gaining charm. Both of you, big kitmakers, have existing 1:25 underpinings to reduce development costs. We could even be happy of curbsides for starters, and each model will find at least 3 declination : -1973 Chevy Malibu SS -1973 Chevy Malibu Baldwin-Motion Phase III -1973 Chevy Montecarlo -1973 Buick GS455 -1975 Buick Century Indy Pace Car -1973 Pontiac GTO -1973 Pontiac Grand Am -1977 Pontiac Grand-Prix -1977 Pontiac Can-Am -1973 TO 1977 Olds 4-4-2 -1973 to 1977 Hurst Olds All offered in Stock, Lowrider, Pimpmobile or Disco Street-machine with Mickey Thompson tires on American 200S... Come on guys, show muscles !

Thanks Kris I'm the order to France.

Hi I'm trying to go back to modeling, with easy subjects : Monogram GM F-Bodies. But I can't find any pre-wired HEI available, by aftermarket list is oldfashioned. Who knows where I can find some ? They have to be shipped in Europe. Thanks

Hi Gene How great is that idea ! I'm living in Europe, so I'll probably get a few of these kits. Maybe WAY more than expected if you provide good parts ?

I dig the Camaro too ! If it happens to be rather a toy, maybe resin caster will take the best of it, and offer a Transkit for the 79...

I'm waiting for hot and dry weather to clearcoat and finish this one :

No, they even don't exist in 1/24. The 1984 Trans-Am has specific grilles and rims. You can find the skirts in Revell 1/16 GTAs, but you have to mix the front one with the 1982 nose. And scratchbuild the grills.

I just love Pimpmobiles, so I wish this kit was reissued !

The Parts Box seem to offer something close. Engine block is accurate, but not some minor details, it's probably an australian 6, since they are a proudly an aussie business. https://www.thepartsbox.com/shop/engines-drivetrain/engine-kits/engine-red-6-cylinder/

Sounds like a job for Chief Joseph at Fireball Modelworks.
