Can-Con

You may be thinking of the Plymouth Duster. From everything I've seen, the '71 and '72 Demons use the same tail lights.

Do you mean the Jo-Han '62 Fury like the reissue in my pic below?

Don't know if you're aware but the exterior decals are in the last reissue of the Dart Sport kit that's boxed as a '76.

The small block covers are in the AMT '71 Duster street machine kit but they only have a blank space where the lettering should be. I'd take my money out and burn it in the driveway before I tried ordering anything from "Reliable" Resin, you'd have about as much chance of getting your product. ?

Love it.

IIRC, it's Arabic, Peter.

Actually, Mike, I'm pulling your leg. Just want to see how many people fall for it. ?

Here in Canada, it's illegal to cut maple trees without a special permit from the federal government, being a national symbol and all. It would be similar to an American shooting a Bald Eagle. ?

IIRC, tomorrow.

You don't see a lot of car kits in 1/48 scale, Bill.?

Mine are the original 1/25 AMT VW Rabbits. Have built two so far and still have two in their boxes. I don't know why I like the kit so much, it's kinda crappy, poor fit etc. but I do.

Sorry, Rich, no. I don't have an annual so I can't compare them.

Well, IF you can get a hold of one of the Revell grilles you could carefully sand or trim off as much of the "SS" as you can and after painting the grille section black just attach the photoetch piece on top kinda like I did with this Malibu.

The Revell standard '67 grille does indeed have SS in it too. AFAIK, only the AMT '67 from around the '80s/'90s had the standard grille with the regular Camaro emblem like in your pic. Both Revell kits are SS and the AMT annual's stock grille was the R/S grille.

Thanks, IIRC, I went around the trim edges and the edges of the vinyl section with the back edge of an x-acto knife to make a slight trough separating the sections. painted the vinyl [airbrush] and foiled the stainless trim around it. Worked out pretty good. I'm assuming you mean this one,,

Yes, the whole AMT '68 annual line had great artwork.

Yup, just a little heat from a lighter does it for me for over 40 years now. I don't smoke but a lighter comes in handy and keep one on my work area. Also useful when you need a piece of stretched sprue.

Looks good to me Tom, and I'm pretty picky on those old '76s as I used to own an almost fully equipped [just missing the power seat] '76 Landau, burgundy/burgundy with black vinyl on the back of the roof which I replaced with silver when I was re-doing the car. Loved that car, great for going to the drive-in with the fully reclining passenger seat. ? Kudos on doing the windshield pillars properly, most builds I see of them leave the body color strip on the pillar as on the box art, which is wrong.

Gareth I sprayed the front bumper on this Volare almost 3 months ago and I can assure you it still looks as it does in this pic right now. It can take regular handling but needs a long time to dry. I'd suggest not handling it for at least a week, more would be better. This may seem a long time but it's similar to what I experience in drying time to Alclad's gloss black basecoat enamel.

Charlie, can you post a pic of the headlights you need? I, or someone else might have something you could use.

That's coming along nicely, Mike.

Ken, Scott at Elm City Hobbies, here in Fredericton carries some stuff and can sometimes order other stuff you might need. He doesn't get as much from the US now as before the coof as he doesn't do a border run once a week like he used to but it doesn't hurt to ask.

If you don't want the white stripes, just put them on toward the back, just like we used to do with the real thing. ?

Got the suspension glued down solid, this is the final stance. Paintwork is coming along too.
