Can't find them anywhere. Calling Pegasus Hobbies direct only netted a response that they are still unpacking after the move. That was two-months ago. Anyone know where I can score to buy some of the smaller 19" and the larger 23"

Sharp looking build, nice work

Wow! I must say, all fantastic Mercury's
My Custom Mercury is a very modern take on a '71 Cougar. This is a work-in-progress still, one day I'll get motivated to finish this one.

How's Lenora doin' 4 years later?
Hi Michi! Wow you brought this thread back from 4 years ago. sadly I have not done much work since other than look at it on my bench and say I need to finish this one. I have decided on different wheels I think look better. This is the most recent picture I have. Perhaps this Fall and Winter I will finish this monster build

Stunning, nicest GT-350 build I've seen. On target for all the wonderful detailing, sure looks like a show-winner

@RestoModGuy Jim this is incredible! That's a cherry ride! I love the ground effects kit and the rear wing! Looks like the kit on the actual car! You nailed this for sure! I love the wheel choice too. Excellent job here. Thank you for sharing! May I ask did you make the extra details out of styrene?
@Plastic_Passion Thanks, this was a fun build, and yes I created all the ground effects and wing from plastic.

Very nice build and restoration, I like it a lot!

I love it! Very creative and well executed!

Nicely done! I can see how much work you put in this from the 2014 stock Vette Revell kit you must have started with.

Impressive! Well done and design execution

Is this the Monogram/Revell or MPC/AMT kit?
Awesome build!
Thanks! This is the newer Revell Smokey and the Bandit kit, which I will say is a very well done kit

Thanks everyone for the comments, appreciate it

My take on the '77 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Resto-mod styled after Year One version. Mostly built out of the box with exception I added the round fog lights in the front bumper and removed the square ones in the lower air-intake. Added brass mesh in the side fender vents. Removed the molded in AC lines and made my own detail. Wheels are the kit Snowflakes inserted into Pegasus small aluminum sleeves. Trans Am and Bird decals are from Keith Marks, which are outstanding! Paint is all Duplicolor spray can with 4-polished clear coats, must say it's flawless smooth
-
Nice! Yes this is a very nice kit to build, no flash and everything fits perfectly

What color blue did you paint the hood scoop?
Testors Midnight blue

Had fun with this new release from Revell of the 70 Firebird. Due to licensing this release does not include any Trans Am badging and I noted the blue decal set is much darker than the 1990 Monogram release that did include Trans Am decal badging
I built this a a box stock kit, first time I've not "customized" a kit, however I did modify the ride-height and improved the fitment of the headlights. Overall, this kit was flawless as to zero-flash and everything fit perfectly, good job on this kit Revell

Truly inspired re-do of this kit while staying true to its modern style. The chopped and channeled approach improves the proportions greatly. Also dig the injected small block. What's the source for that mod?
Thanks Bernard! Here for the very detailed and cool injection https://www.shapeways.com/product/V8W7QBN6T/ls3-obx-crossram-1-25?optionId=62936900&li=shops

Love all the 32s here. I took a different direction with the AMT 32 Phantom Vicki kit. Chopped and molded in the odd looking roof from the kit, chopped the grill and used metal wire. Lots of mods, including flush windshield.
