Pretty impressive 24 build, Tom. I built a Woody Wagon clone from one of those a couple of years ago and took me 3 weeks. And that was mostly out of the box. BTW the engine in the Woody wagon has never changed in length. The only change to the rear axle is the ends where the wheels mount. Anyway, cool build.
The 40 Ford coupe kit has a very nice set of Keystone Kustomags, which are nearly identical to the Klassics. The ones in the 57 Chevy are decent. I also have a deep dish pair at home that I think are MPC. Not sure. Will take a pic and post after work.
I don't have an orange hood, but on the subject of hoods, the 73-76 Dodge Darts used the 69 Barracuda hood, along with 67-69 Dart front fenders. And just like on the real cars, the MPC Dart and Barracuda hoods interchange pretty nicely.
Just vintage box art. When they reissued the 67 Charger it had the other cars from the series shown too. (Like the Streaker Vette). But they haven't been reissued - yet.
No worries. It looks great. You did a super nice job on it. Beautiful paint work. Here's the box art I did the build for. I wish they would have had Molotow markers back in 1994.
Super duper nice. Looks pretty close to the color I painted the box art build for the 1994 issue. Like Espo said, the grilles (on all the 53 Ford trucks) were painted white. That aside, yours is one of the nicer builds of this one I've seen.
I built the Pyro Renault Town Car back when I was around 11 or so. From my memories it was a pretty nice kit. I wonder if Round 2 has the tools for these. I believe Lindberg ended up with the Pyro tools IIRC.
Oh yeah, forgot about that one. The Coca Cola version. I think I'd rather see the 2 in 1 with the cartoon box art. Either way, I hope this forthcoming reissue keeps the new wheels and tires.
