Great looking model. Thanks for telling us what paint you used as I have a couple of these I want to build and those colors look perfect.

On the subject of school bus drivers......My daughter-in-law drives a school bus and she's pretty strict with the kids. I accused her of being this guy.

Thunder at 3 this morning and now it's raining. Nothing in the forecast which I always find funny with all the million $$$ computer stuff they have. Anyway, not complaining as we really need the rain and I won't have to spend time watering.

Your model captures the mean look of a Fuel Altered. Great job!

Oh man, those chassis and engine pics are great! A pleasure to look at such excellent work. A very nice model!

70 at 5 AM. Been having some humid couple of days in the upper 80's. Before that was dry and 100. It's the end of August so I just remind myself it's summer and before long we'll be back to crappy weather.

Lots of work and a lot of weathering. Looks well used and I like it!

Probably my favorite style Funny Cars from that era. You did some excellent work on these and the stance is just right. I always have a bit of trouble with that.

I never considered myself a bad modeler until I tried to build Salvino's Modified kit. I kept at it and set it aside and got it back out and tried some more but finally gave up. Back to the MPC kits.......I've had my problems with some of their kits but nothing that couldn't be solved eventually. They have a long history of many nice models that I can't pass on and happy to have a 2nd chance to build the reissues.

That's what I've done too.

Yes, the color combo looks good and the whole car looks sharp.

Pleased that Sirius XM added the Beach Boys channel.

Looks great! I always wonder why parts are missing especially with a bigger kit like this. Where did they go?

Haven't seen my buddy Steve for about a month. Steve turned out to be female but I wasn't changing the name. Been around for years and lately had what might be arthritis in the back legs because she had trouble getting around but could still climb the fence. Would come to the patio door and wait and when I'd come out she was at my feet wanting a nut and then ran to the upper backyard where I'd throw food for all the squirrels and birds. Sad, but guessing she's gone now. 😞 First picture is Steve and 2nd picture might be her "kid" because it comes to the door the same way and tries to stay at my feet but just a little too hyper and cautious.

A missing part in a model kit. Wasn't on the "tree" in the bag so I know I didn't lose it. Must've fallen off before even making it in the box. I'll reach out to Round 2 and see if they're willing to send the part. I got a reply from Round 2 and not happy about it. A long request form and must include a store receipt and UPC code. I would've purchased the kit online and it may have been a year ago so not gonna hunt down a receipt which I may or may not have. Also a copy of the UPC is not accepted so that means I need to download a form and send the UPC cut from the box. Then there was some more things to read and looked like shipping charges because I don't have a sales receipt, etc. Really?! It's not like I'm trying to scam anyone here. I bought a kit and there was a part missing. Could you take care of me as a customer of your product? In the last couple of years I can remember Revell and Salvino's sending me replacement parts that were damaged or missing without a hassle. I've got plenty of model kits to keep me busy and won't be buying any more Round 2 kits.

I like the reviews in the model magazines more than the Internet videos. Sadly, there aren't enough of them and lately I've seen reviews of kits that are long since unavailable.

That's very nice!

I get Motorsport magazine from the UK. Have had a subscription for so long I don't remember when I started it and the delivery had been just fine. For many months now I get the issues later and later. I'm lucky to get the current month in the current month. Example being this is August and I haven't got the August issue yet. Motorsport has told me they send the magazine out the same time that they always have so put the blame on the USPS.

As a couple of comments have said, great job on a rare kit and I believe this is the first time I've seen one built. All your work paid off with a real nice model.

That car wasn't pleasing to the eye but you did a great job on the model. Very sharp!

Couple of classics there. Cool that you've kept them all these years.

I don't see them but the crickets this year are louder than I remember. Maybe more of them? Whatever the case, I enjoy hearing them at night.

Great car. Great model.

Exactly!

Great looking model. That paint job is excellent! Never understood why a model of this car is not available.
