Really sharp. It looks like taking the extra time paid off.

Wicked cool!!!!

Awesome build. I really enjoyed the pictures

A nice clean build. Love it

I like it dust and all. Very realistic

Joe, now THAT is worth the wait! Great finish on this one, bud. You knocked it out of the park, man.

Anyone would be happy to receive this work of art, and to think you brought such late happiness was certainly worth the effort.

I am a little late to the game here but these are my completed examples in 2023. Not many primarily because of the extended labor in building the Yamato 1/350 IJN Yamato (Tamiya New Tool) 1971 Boss 351 Mustang (Revell) 2021 Toyota Supra GR (Tamiya)

Presented is the 1/24 scale 1914 Model T Fire Truck with firemen figures. Model was painted with "Cobra Colors" Porsche "Guards Red" without clear coat. Brass parts were painted primarily with Testors Metalizer Brass with others painted with True Metal and Vallejo brass. The figures were painted with Vallejo acrylics with the faces painted with oils.

Great looking build and ditto to everything else said here. What was the silver color you used to match the decals?

Love it. You did a splendid job on this old kit!

Here is my 2013 GT500 Shelby: And here is my replica: Revell 2010 Gt500 with Plamoz 2013 transkit, modified hood, scratchbuilt side window scoops, factory matched paint, and staggered 3d printed wheels.

Hello all, just banged this one out for our annual model show this weekend. About two weeks from start to finish. Fastest project for me ever. Typical Tamiya fit and quality. I painted this one with Gravity Colors factory Toyota "Nitro Yellow" and decanted UPOL clear. Interior is Tamiya Nato Black. Built "out of box."

Another nice build of this kit. Keep them coming!!!!

Thanks Tim. This kit is well worth our efforts and I hope this is a harbinger for Revell's future releases. This hobby needs it, especially from the domestic sector where reissues are the rule and not the exception.

Thank you all

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Awesome! I wish I had 3d printing know how. You should sell some of your creations.

Thanks Tim!! My expectations were fully met with this build, and your article helped as well.

Thank you all. It was a fun build and I hope this is the start of a new chapter of model design for Revell. Jeff, GET ONE, you won't regret it.

Thanks, and Noel it is 1/25 scale

This is finished, and as I stated in the WIP this is the best engineered Revell kit ever. I hope you like it. In Summary: Color: MCW Ford "Medium Yellow Gold" lacquer polished with no clear coat, painted black hood and lower accents Interior: Factory "Ginger" deluxe (3 different tones of Valljo Acrylics were used) Engine: Wired and plumbed with plug wires, pvc hose, vacuum hose, fuel line, and battery cables. Undercarriage: Painted with Red oxide primer and overspray with a full array of factory inspection markings Wheels: Fireball Modelworks resin hub caps and chrome rings. Painted with Alcad "polished aluminum" Valve stems added. Extras: Chrome trim was applied with BMF and molotow ink. Antennae and base was scratchbuilt.

Well here is the COMPLETED build! I have to say that this is the best fitting Revell kit that I have ever built. Really on par with Japanese kits. All of the stressful construction steps were alleviated. (Glass, fit of body to chassis, wheel ride height, tires...). I just can't say enough about this. A few small criticisms could be the transparency and fit of some of the decals and some wrong callouts for colors or placement of decals, and maybe the lack of certain attachment points for some parts. I added an antennae and also detailed the molded in ram air assembly on the underside of the hood. Some have complained about this, but with some careful painting can be made to look quite good. As a final note, I solved the problem of the pinstripe decal vs the blacked out hood by hand painting Vallejo satin varnish to blend in the sheen of the black paint. Here is a teaser picture, I will post a new thread in the "completed" section later.

Thanks. I am nearing the end and will be posting the completion soon!

Thanks everyone, and Vamach, I took these pictures before I addressed that detail with the chrome latches. Wizzie, it is actual spray can engine paint called "Ford Blue"
