  1. These custom seats and wheels are fantastic !!!
  2. Hi everyone A few years ago, I took a decision : less posts, more models. But sometimes, it's fun to go teasing That interior is day-fresh. Paint is a couple weeks old, but the dash has just been glued on the tub. Semi-gloss paint is les shiny in person. I don't like mate clearcoat on Muscle-cars black vinyl. I could make better quality, spending EVEN more time0 But I have way too many ideas to. And life is short... Chassis looks better in person too. I don't mind leaving the modeling marks on mufflers. Don't real one have welding marks ? Tub-to-chassis overspray is not that bad either. I will soon do the same on Revell's 1970 Cuda.
  3. I'll buy a couple of these aged things, just for the decals !
  4. Very nice original GTI !!!
  5. Gorgeous !!! Where did you get the A/C compressor and Honeycomb wheels ? The seats are definitely 1970. To build a 1971-and-after Deluxe interior, you need some seats from a chinese Die-Cast. Maybe when you build the Buccaneer Red one. Here are some pics of the 1974 SD I built years ago...
  6. Follow him on Facebook, he's clearly a hardcore enthusiast.
  7. Very clean ! What 220 should be !!!
  8. Hope they will repop them. Wanna build this :
  9. Yet, with their name, catalog and developpement-possibilities (new masters from others), this remains good business...
  10. Great idea ! Do you know that Tumblr ? http://70sstreetmachines.tumblr.com/archive
  11. I own both the 1971 T/A and 1971 Mustang. Body proportions are odd, mostly because of their roof. Too low. But overally they look great. Imagine how impressive is a 1/12 71 Stang !!! They're definitely 1970's japanese kits : details are rough, engine shapes are wrong, seats are squary, and Dunlop tires rules. But with passion and a few kitbashing you can build great models. For instance, I'll build the Mustang as the Diamonds are Forever Mach 1. Now, the question is : will they ever reissue all of them ? I want these Mercedes sooooo badly !
  12. No such thing, just a Motip european paint
  13. I sthere a way (resin kit ? ) to build these Stock ? If so I'd buy a couple...
  14. Ditto !
  15. Very nice build of a rare kit !
  16. DITTO !!! Actually my second after a 280ZX. Both were bought at a sales shop. Datsun in 1984 and VW in 1985. In France, very little people were building them and you found them for cheap. Man, thanks a lot : you make me fell 6 year-old again ! I'm 37 and can't accept I'm aging !
  17. This is my favorite Charger, I 'd be happy to build a few !
  18. That Trail 70 was named Dax 70 on french market. They're really sought after, these days.
  19. OMG ! I love these 2nd-Gen F-Babies ! Great job, and great choice !
  20. Here in Europe, we don't have the same products as in America. We have to do with.
  21. He makes great stuff. Yet, if you plan to clearcoat it, be careful. His decals don't like clearcoat, bur they stick enough naturally. Very nice !
  22. They are, for leather only. Then you have to limit your choice to black or tan only. No white (just like the Nash Bridges car), no orange, no blue, no green. Leather seats were optional on both Cuda and Cuda convertible, and standard on Gran Coupe. No Gran Convertible, though.
  23. That's a big missing. Since the kit has been released in 1981, did someone offered a correct vinyl interior ? The current leather buckets are nice, but can be black or tan only. Vinyl buckets Vinyl bench seat (same backrests)
  24. Great build !!!
  25. I would buy a dozen of them...
