  1. Very cool! Giving me some great ideas for my 2015 Mustang!
  2. You've got it! I might spend some time at the bench tomorrow, but maybe I'll get it up on Thursday!
  3. Ahh, I didn't know that. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if my '60 Chevy is the Stock or Cuatom version. I don't have the original box for it, unfortunately.
  4. Hey there, which kit are you talking about? I'm completely confused. .find_in_page{background-color:#ffff00 !important;padding:0px;margin:0px;overflow:visible !important;}.findysel{background-color:#ff9632 !important;padding:0px;margin:0px;overflow:visible !important;}
  5. I suppose I didn't do a thorough enough search on the forum and I missed these 2. Your review is much better!
  6. What a nice looking Mopar!

  8. Hey everyone, I had recently done a review of the new Round 2 '17 Camaro SS full detail kit and it got me geeked to do some other reviews on a lot of my unbuilt kits. A lot of them are older releasea from the 90's-present day. I'll post my list below and see if anyone has any interest in seeing what's in the box for some of these kits. If you're interested, leave a comment below and I'll try and get some photos taken and post them in a new thread for that specific kit Thanks!

  9. I don't see how Round 2 would miss the opportunity to make the ZL1! Wouldn't take a lot to change this kit around a bit. I'm wondering about the hood being molded on a separate sprue. Is this different than the '16 SS kit?
  10. I'd strip the chrome plating off as well. What would be a good color to match the 1:1?
  11. Wow! This is a sharp looking car! What kit/body is this?
  12. I wasn't aware of the Batmobile or NASCAR kits, but I have seen the showroom replicas come to think of it.
  13. I hope that your kit is molded and finished better than mine was! You're welcome!
  14. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, friends! I stopped at Hobby Lobby after work and picked up this brand new Round 2/AMT 2017 Camaro SS "Fifty" edition. I haven't seen a review for this kit, so I decided to take some photos and let you know what I think about it! Please leave some feedback and share your thoughts on this kit. I've only been back into building for the last couple of years, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first completely "new" kit from any of the Round 2 brands. I've been looking forward to this one and I'm not even the biggest fan of Camaros. The body is molded in what looks like the factory correct color "Nightfall Gray Metallic", credit to RandyB. for identifying that color. The shrinkwrap sticker on the box said this kit was molded in black, so I was surprised to see the body molded in this color. You're going to need to paint it as the plastic is very swirly. The body on this kit feels very flimsy and thin. You can see the actual print through the roof when held to the light and you can also so how thin the plastic is near the door handles. Very disappointed in that! There are a couple mold lines to look out for on the front clip and over the rear wheel well. Note: This is looking from the top of the car and down. The area near the door handles look almost like a non-fill issue. The piece count is very nice for this kit. The parts are molded in black, metallic gray, silver, clear, chrome and transparent red. I'll go into a more detailed look at these trees down below. As like the body, all of the large pieces in this kit feel brittle and flimsy at the same time. I really hope that only my kit is like this and it's not an issue across the board. That would be a real bummer. The frame, chassis and floor pans are all one solid piece. This may be similar to the snap version of this kit, but I'm not sure. If you look, you'll see the driveshaft is even molded in. The rear seat detail will disappear under a coat or two of paint. Very poorly molded or mastered. The wheels look pretty cool for this car. I wish that the bow tie was a lot more visible, instead of the blob it looks like. The clear parts in this kit however, are some of the best I've ever seen! Lots of detail and thought went into these pieces. I love the tail lights and the defrost lines in the rear window. The black window trim is a great touch and gives you one less problem when detailing the kit! The tires look good and they're directional. They are not branded, however. I hope that Round 2 doesn't go the same way Revell-Monogram has gone. The last photo is of the decals. Like all of the other Round 2 releases, these are very brilliantly printed. If you've stuck around through my ramblings this long, I thank you for your time. I'm not sure that I'll ever get around to building this kit. I've got so many other projects started or that I want to start and I don't see this one knocking any of those out anytime soon. It's a nice kit and looks very accurate, but it has flaws that shouldn't exist on a newly tooled kit that was made 3 months ago. If you have one, let me know how yours is! Until next time!
  15. These are very cool!
  16. Very cool concept! I like it better without the Bel Air roof.
  17. I have this kit, it's pretty neat. It's basically the AMT '40 Ford kit. Almost everything is identical between my Lindberg and AMT '40 Fords. The 65-67 GTOs are all the same scale. The best available Goat that I've seen of the three is the Revell '66 GTO. I have the AMT '65 and it lacks in detail and quality, but it's a 25+ year old kit. Maybe that has something to do with it. The MPC/AMT '67 GTO is awful. I've had 3 different kits, from 3 different reissues of it and they all have their issues. I decided to build mine as a curbside. I also think that trailer will only haul 2 of the Goats. Not 100% sure, though. I am looking forward to following your Dodge build, however. I'm thinking of making mine a military truck. Not sure yet.
  18. Nice looking Chevies!
  19. Very nicely detailed! Looks great!
  20. Wasn't the textured roof the convertible top? I've seen it before, but can't remember.
  21. Nice looking Chevy!
  22. thanks for the heads up!
  23. I always look forward to seeing your impeccable police car builds! Your uncle should certainly appreciate it. Thanks for sharing it! I've got this kit in the stash, but I have the Modelhaus '70 LTD conversion kit for it. I may to pick up a few more of these at some point.
