sweet looking build

Same here Andy, Ive built a few over the years and have another 2 in the stash. so many different possibilities with this kit. I built this in the late '80's I keep thinking of a tear down to remove the front fender mold lines, but I could never duplicate the paint. It was some metallic blue base with a pearl purple topcoat and some oddball clear. No rubbing on this paint job. Rattle-canned and assembled.

Can't wait for the current release. Looks great

Very nice..... and Wow, I am doing one in the same colors. One of my favorite kits.

back in 85 a friend had a '71 CS in HS but it had the good 429 in it. 10:1 comp stock, DOVE heads, C6, Towing package with a 3:25 locker. Badass car.

How about a 58 Ranchero? Change the trim, hood and nose.

I'd have to pass on that, but would buy these.........

That doesn't say much about the type of printer. It could be an fdm filament style printer or possibly a dlp stereolithographic top down kit. For that you would need a dlp projector unless you know how to modify a cheap suitable one. That will cost you in the $600 to $700 range. My dlp projector ran me $607, but I didn't have to do any mods to it. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2865762/xyzprinting-unveils-349-3d-printer-hi-res-machine.html I know nothing about them, so this is what I read

I put my guesses under the pics above

You can get a mini 3d printer for $349...... Just need the scanner I guess.

This shows it well, I can get a close up next time I go to my dads house. Just a small lip at the lower fender

I did send that pic and others to Revell. That is why I posted, for anyone that wishes to improve their build, not to bash the kit. The red one is not mine. The one we are doing has a nice hopped up YBlock with a 4 speed.

Love this kit

Chopped 48 Ford roof would be a cool build

I like how you did your door handles. Looking good

I have one of these in my stash. Would love a few more because I want several builds of it. Sweet kit

Great pics on the comparisons to the Sedan. They did do a little work the the body line in the rear on the Del Rio. It will still need a bit of sanding to remove the bulge tho. The lower part behind the tire needs filler still because the fender does not have the rocker indent. (The AMT is guilty of this also) I believe the extra radius on the front of the wheel well is because the bumper was too short. I am still curious if the grill was raised to keep the header panel from being too fat. According to the valance line scribbed to the body, it was not. The area from the valance line to the body line above it looks too large. Slam me if you wish, but I am very familiar with these cars and it is my observation.

I would love to see this on the shelves.

Yes, would love to see a 58 or 59. The 58 I'd rather see a hardtop over a sedan

Same Chassis as the Petty Dart?

I like the concept and stance, but dislike the 23's Wish they did them in 16-"18". The 23's look okay on a 1/24 scale

I like it.....
