I started off with this model kit from Revell: 1970 Ford Torino GT.

Thank You all for Your positie comments! No PE parts were used on the grill. It is only the washing which makes it look like that. It was the kit by Revell USA I built.

Soon she will be rolling off the work bench...

A little update on my 65 Mustang:

Update: July, 9, 2016: Test fit body and chassis.

New on my workbench: 65 Mustang 2+2 (Revell):

Yes, as Crowe-t mentioned, Tamiya TS-92 Orange Metallic is the color I used. Thanks to all for Your comments!

Thank You very much for Your comments and kind words! @ Harry Joy: I use Tamiya sprays of the "TS"-series which are especially produced for that sort of plastic our model kits are usually made of. Once I bought a can of "PS" Tamiya spray without noticing it was the wrong spray and it did not stick to the ground and simply built "noses" on the body of the car. I can recommend Tamiya's "TS"-sprays. I use them for all my builds along with white primer, also from Tamiya, because they work very well together.

Thank You guys! Meanwhile the build is done. So please check my post in the "under glass" section!

Finally done: 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 1:25 (Revell). This rare color combination was available with the car back in the day. I used Tamiya spray (orange metallic/sand) which came quite close. I wanted to create an "elegant" looking Charger, not the often shown "mean" looking black painted Chargers (of course a 69 Charger is definitely mean by nature :-) All parts are out of the box. Very precise, it was fun to build. But I was to lazy to do all the wiring and plumbing under the hood.

Update June, 23rd: Almost done! I hope the stance of the car is correct...

The 69 Charger is a fast car .. but my model makes only slow progess:

Great idea to build the Galaxie timeline from 1959-1970. I have started the same project, but need still kits of the 67 and 68. As You can see in my photo I have a real 62 Galaxie in the garage.

Udate June, 6: I made a little progress with my 69 Charger within the last days, so I can show You the rear end and the door panels today.

Update: Meanwhile I have finished the chassis and the wheels. I prefer to build the car with ww-tires:

Great job, Jeff! Since I have a real 62 Galaxie 500 in my Garage, I love to see the car built in a hot 1:25 version. Whish I had that old AMT-kit, too! Ludwig

Thanks! Good to see that You also like this color combination. I used Tamiya TS sprays(orange metallic and light sand).

Yes...another 1969 Dodge Charger. But I decided to build it in a rare color combination (bronze metallic/tan vinyl top and sand interior). Hope You like it.

Thank You for your comments! Monty: Since I have been building model kits for many years now I have a large pile of all sorts of parts & tires. I remember that I took the tires for the rear wheels from another kit, but I can't remember from which oder which make they were. But I thought those bigger tires would give the car a nice stance.

This is an AMT kit I have built a couple of years ago. In contrast to my actual builds I did not pay so much attention to the detailing o wheels and engine. I just took a few new pics this morning.

Here are the Mustangs I have built so far ... sorted by year and shown on the deck lid of my 2011 GT.

Thanks! Yes, it is good the AMT made the front wheels steerable, but as You noticed, they forgot to create the clearance from the tire to the back of the front fender wider.
