Would any one happen to know when the re released Beretta Pro Street will be on sale?

The race version has a wonderful rendition of the Cosworth V8, worth looking for. There are 2 versions though, a full detail and a curb side so be aware. Kit reference; http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=101&cat=&state=&sold=0&sortid=0&searchkey=1%2f24+dome+zero

Wow, looks awesome! I've the Fujimi full detail race car version. You are right, a full detail of the street car would have been awesome. But your curb side looks awesome.

Umm, good points as usual. Bought, bayam! Umm, good points as usual. Bought, bayam!

Hi, Curious if any one has a cheaper source for this cool tool; http://www.micromark.com/Duplicating-Jig-for-Cutting-Strip-and-Tube-Stock,9273.html

I think I'll be passing on the boiling water thing. However this is another lesson I must learn; test test test... fit fit fit...

The tub or chassis is straight as an arrow which is good. So I'll use that as a straightener but in the future I will check before hand. I prefer the body slip on with minimal effort. Man this scale building is tough!

Bummer as I have it pretty much painted up (lacquer). Oh well, another lesson learned!

Hi, As I'm finishing up my current project going through final body/chassis alignment and am having a bit of a time making things fit. Well I come to finally notice that by body is a bit warped. The front right quarter panel rises up about 1mm almost as if it was twisted so. How would you all fix this?

I just ordered one, looks killer!

I saw that, those side drafts look killer. And the nitrous plumbing is so in your face. Totally bitchen kit.

Based on some research, THE kit to have is indeed the Revell Pontiac J2000; twin turbo/carb/nitrous... OMG!!!

Based on the kit instructions, looks like they left out the entire part having that 4 barrel whatever it is. I think I see a turbo down below?

OMG that's beautiful! WOW, hope the kits engine looks very close.

Hi, I just saw there Beretta Pro Street posted. The engine looks gnalrzzzz. Original release of this kit seem to go for +$100 on eBay. The kit looks cool; http://www.revell.com/model-kits/cars/85-7168.html#.V_PBK9waeOc I found kit instructions of the original release here; http://public.fotki.com/bill-rules/instruction-sheets/revell/revell-7168-beretta/?view=roll

The post Bill linked, while awesome, mentioned using Milliput as a mold. Since Milliput hardens and is a 1 time shot sort of thing, I've decided to use Silly Putty. I'll report back with results.

Looks very cool. Would be awesome if a senior member would evaluate it.

Home Depot has a very good 3M mask for ~$25. It's in the spray can section.

Your Epoxy+Microballoons and very intriguing! I take it you mix 3 parts Epoxy to 1 part Microballoon?

Hi Mark, You bring up good points. A few things I've done on my Chaparral CanAm car that is still on the bench in chronological order; 1) Built up fenders with Bondo Spot Putty. 2) Too much Bondo started eating styrene plus the Bondo started to crack. 3) Used super glue to re enforce styrene and stop the melt. 4) Started doing thinner layers of Bondo to build up fenders. 5) Top coat of Tamiya Putty as it sanded smoother then Bondo. * I noticed that the Tamiya Putty was much friendlier on styrene then Bondo. The pics of my Chap CanAm Spyder are on this forum some where. I built up its fenders by about a 1/4" on each panel. That's a lot of filler.

Wow, looks awesome. I'd paint the bottom gold too.

Hi, While very experienced builders have responded, I'm sorta surprised that as a simple small filler, Tamiya white putty wasn't mentioned. I also use the Bondo Spot Putty, the Tamiya stuff sands better/smoother. It is very very cool stuff.

Cool how to, I'll def give it a shot.

I think this would be an awesome opportunity for a resin caster to do a detail parts kit for it. That would be pretty darn cool seeing that the Vette will always be a good seller in model kit form. Its more of a life style/pop icon/rock star than it is a car anyways.

I'm hoping Revell posts the instruction sheet for it.
