did you have to send any proof or anything that you got the wrong body. i had bought a mustang convertible kit from revell a while back and the window frame was broken. they told me i had to mail them the body and they would inspect it and then mail me a replacement, but i had to pay for shipping for the mailing to them, which would have cost about 1/3 the price of the model. this was probably about 10 years ago, and it was the last time i bothered calling them about an issue. i didnt bother to send it to them, and just ended up never finishing the build.

i love those kits you made, especially the police one.

back in the past you could get model kits with cool accessories or other items that could be used in a diorama or other type of scene. for example, the gone fishing kit had a boat https://www.ebay.com/itm/REVELL-1-25-Scale-GONE-FISHING-SET-1991-Dodge-Ramcharger-Truck-Trailer-Boat-Kit/253507599958?epid=2255423491&hash=item3b063afe56:g:RqsAAOSwBPFapyVc or the mach 1 kit has this boat https://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-Mach1-Formula-One-Team-Truck-Trailer-and-Boat-Kit-7240-Open-Complete/132543733226?epid=1500607057&hash=item1edc38ddea:g:S8MAAOSwHG9arujl this rough riders has a bike and trailer https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Pickup-Truck-w-Trailer-2-Dirt-Bikes-Revell-1-25-OPENED-Vtg-Model-Kit-HTF/372235716846?hash=item56aafa48ee:g:vWYAAMXQltxQ8FZA i was able to find this one at hobby lobby so i picked it up, even though the ski bike isnt fitting in with my scene https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGUUJ&P=ML does anyone know of any others that can be found still that have an additional vehicle or other larger sized accessory?

i would like to build a late 70's or early 80's 2 door sport utility. i have already built the revell bronco a while back, so i was looking to do a different one. i have started this morning with the prep on the ramcharger kit and already found the chassis was pretty warped in the front and that some of the pieces are going to be pretty wonky on how it is put together. i was able to correct the chassis in boiling water, but the rest of it will not be so easy i dont mind putting the ramcharger away for a while if you have any good suggestions

thanks. im going to go with the ramcharger instead

I havent done any modelling is a few years now, but i have the model king 72 blazer kit. how is the quality of the build of this kit? in the past i didnt like AMT kits, but i liked the subject so i took a chance. since i havent built a model in years, i dont want to start with one that is going to be a bad or poor fitting build thanks

Thank you guys for the nice words. I havent decided what to do with the build yet. i typically try to build as close to stock as possible using only what came in the kit (with the exception of BMF). However, my concept of the build is out the window since i am out of both colors i used and I dont want to spend any loot right now (and i dont want to wait for the shipping either). My plan was to use the kit rims and paint it the same color as the body (which i cant do). Probably i will just make the rims a steel color and use the chrome hubcaps. I will look through my spare kits to see if i have any cool looking motor that will fit without much custom work (that always messes me up), maybe i will go crazy on it. I already decided since i did a color that was not available for this model year (nothing close to it), that i will do a custom color for the interior as well. My research shows me the 1950 Olds 88 only had a gray interior or a 2 tone gray interior, i might do a burgundy red interior now or maybe even a sand leather color interior. I will post more progress pics as they come in the coming days. at this point i am still cleaning up the small pieces, so nothing really to see yet.

This is my first kit in a couple of years. the paint is testors black cherry with a basecoat of testors citrus yellow. the kit was originally supposed to be only the citrus color but i didnt have enough to do a full car and with holidays around im cutting costs. I have not yet clear coated it but the paint is dry. i like the gloss. Hope the pictures show up

you bought these at target?

beautiful. which kit is the one with the red wheels. any chance you have a kit number for it?

nevermind i found it http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_11590-Buick-Super-Riviera-52-1952.html

when marty first goes to 1955 hill valley he ends up stopping in the street in front of the unbuilt lyon estates. He stops and gets out of the car and an old couple drives up in a red 4 door car slowing down and then they quickly drive off scared. can anyone tell me what that car is. i cant even find a picture on google to link here.

i see a delorean in my future using this method. i just hope i can hit 88 nice work

I am painting my rx-7 the Tamiya Gloss aluminum (TS-17). This is the first time i am trying a silver paint. I did a test piece and it looks nice, however when i tried to clear coat the test piece (with tamiya clear) it lost its metallic look and looks just grey. Can you not clear coat this color?

I am going to be working on an 1993 Rx7 kit starting today and i have never been able to make a black interior look nice. For example, i use matte black for the the dash and the seats (to make the seats look like leather), but what would you do for the carpet and the door panels. probably matte black there as well, so it matches the dash. But now it looks like i can build the entire interior and drop it in a bucket of matte black paint and call it finished. any ideas on how to mix it up a bit on modern cars to make it look realistic?

Hi I ordered the mazda rx7 kit from tamiya and it should be arriving tomorrow. I am looking for the spoiler in the second picture with the flat top (spirit R spoiler). does anyone know of a kit that has a similar spoiler that might fit or an aftermarket company that makes one? this is the kit https://s1.scalemates.com/products/img/8/1/8/128818-10941.jpg the spoiler i am looking for is this one where it is flat and connects with 1 piece on the side (spirit R). http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/jpg/200512/2001-mazda-rx7-6w.jpg I would rather not buy the fujimi spirit r kit since they are costly and i already bought the tamiya one, but if this is the only one, then i guess i would buy it. I would definitely prefer an aftermarket over a whole kit if anyone knows where to find one, i would appreciate it

i never have luck with resin. i dont have much luck with dong anything custom. i do ok with box stock, but when i try to put my 2 cents in, i always end up ruining the whole thing

thank you very much for the information. i built the convertible a couple of years ago and i like it very much. its why i wanted to build the coupe to go along with it. i guess i will do the 40 coupe instead

are there any revell 1948 coupe kits that are stock?

does anyone know if this new 1948 ford custom coupe revell http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZWS5&P=W is the same as http://u.jimdo.com/www37/o/se372970042158879/img/i62c7f4748afc5224/1309812373/orig/image.jpg except it has a coupe body? if it is not the same, can the custom coupe be built stock or does it only have custom parts? thank you for your help.

what do you use for the carpeting

i have the trumpeter falcon, i will see about that. thank you

amt has a 66 mustang hardtop, but the details are quite lacking pretty much everywhere. does anyone know if there is a more detailed kit that i could throw the body onto this is the kit i am referring to http://www.round2models.com/images/models/amt704/amt704-02.jpg
