72 Chevy - Rides
Sledsel replied to Sledsel's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
The interior is nothing special, flocking, some paint detail. As for the AC, the kit had the compressor on the belt assembly and just looked "off" with nothing else, so I decided to add some detail. Everything was made to fit, although probably not factory correct. I am more of a Ford guy and went with what I knew -
Wow... Looks real

Love the way the paint came out with that orange tint to it. Your manifolds should be arriving soon too.

That is sooooooooo nice

For some reason, there is not a lot available from the mid to late 70's in kit form. I think this era could yield a variety of great kits, the Cutlass, Grand Prix. Monte Carlo, Malibu, ElCamino, Ranchero, Thunderbird, Cougar. Montego. Even Lincolns or Caddys. Tons of options and most brands share chassis and interior pieces with each other.

Round 2 February 2018 Product Spotlight
Sledsel replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I am in for the Jeep... Maybe the Polygas Gasser since it can be built more than one way -
Tossing my 2 cents in here... Like all Revells 57s, they are okay. detailed nice but the bodies are far from accurate. Dash is really bad and needs a lot of work or swapped with the AMT. Same with the front valance and bumper, wrong and should be swapped with the AMT parts. There is a list of the issues on the original Del Rio review post Sad part is, the wrong parts of the body are actually correct on the old Revell '57 Rancheros. Body-wise, the fix is not tough, but time consuming. Really bummed me when I saw this kits reviews because I planned to have a bunch of all the '57's on the shelf, now I just have one sedan and one wagon. Not doing any more.

If it is all made here, I will support them by getting one, more if it is nice. With any luck, the have fixed body and bumper inaccuracies. When it comes to "new" kits, this is totally unacceptable to me. That all being said, what would everyone think if one of these became a kit also? Just wondering.

That is awesome... Is it cleared also? Working on an AK car that is painted with enamel and am worried about clear coating
-
Very nice.... So you do not go through all the polishing pads up to 12000 grit? I find them a pain myself.
-
Working on the same kit, had to do some "adjusting" to get the wheelbase better. You next kit, do a lot of dry fitting even before paint to resolve any issues early. A must on these older kits Keep going
-
I'm staying tuned in... I love this kit.

Old aged mold, but still builds nice. I'll be watching

Original Bullitt Mustang Rediscovered

Who changed the rocker trim? or possibly stripped em? -
-
Always like those Jags. Gonna watch this one. I did not believe that is a stripe but rather a light reflection but then I found this pic......

Revell need to totally start with a new tool for their Mercury body. My dream car is a chopped Merc, the kit was a blessing til I opened it. I have purchased 2 for parts and pitched the bodies.
