Mr Stock

Beautiful work Steve, very clean build and i love the colour choices, how well does the hood fit once its all together ?.

Adam that's another really nice build mate, and another loser car too! Lol. Actually the "J" platform car was also a Cavalier over here in the UK although it was known as a Vauxhall Cavalier mk2. Our version was even more bland than the US version !, although it was an extremely popular car in its day and was also available with a few pokey engines too such as the Sri 130. Great job on a very nice looking kit, another I'll have to look out for, ....... Wide track for 82 !

So what have they actually changed ? Considering it was offline for nearly a week and they themselves admitted they were upgrading the website, they have not even updated the relevant kit sections with new releases

Good to know Frank thanks, Ive been searching for one of these kits for a while (with sensible shipping to the UK).

Oustanding interior Steven, I could only wish to get seperation lines that sharp !.

Thanks Ace ! Found them, my kit is the yellow moulded Elvis version but they are there next to the frt axle, thanks for your help mate. Mark, yes on my instructions they are noted as "metal stub axles", that's what confused me, I didn't even think of looking for plastic ones! Lol. Thinking about it they would be metal stub axles on the full size manx that's obviously what they meant.

Hi all I've just aquire one if the recent reissues if the AMT Meyers manx kit, I have one question to anyone who has the kit or has built it. The front wheels are shown as being held on by metal pins, I cannot find these pins anywhere in my kit even though everyting us bagged as new, where they packaged in a separate bag or in with something else. Thanks Gary

Joel that is looking nice, can i ask where you got the resin rear fender from for the spre wheel cut out thats very neat.

This is an update on their Facebook page : We are aware of our website problems. A new site is being built and transferring over to it has been problematic. Please stay tuned as we work through the bugs.

Great job on the resto, I have that exact kit and box art unbuilt upstairs in the stash.Ive had it for absolute years !

Nice work Tom looks great, nice unusual colour and love the steelies and dog dish trims, where did you source those from ?.

Any Aussie falcon model is good in my eyes, Ive often wondered what those Partsbox kits look like, Great work mate.

Good work Tomo, this Fujimi kit is so much better proportionally than the Revell Mk2, the Revell kits just looks wrong to me, shame cos their Mk1 kit is a beauty. And who could miss the stunning Miss Ellis-Bextor ....if Carlsberg created women ? Lol

That paint is looking good Tim, nice colour, I have always left this kit on the shelf due to the horror storys Ive heard about it Lol.

Those are both beautiful builds Adam, guess Ill be on the look out for more MPC loser kits , they are a bit thin on the ground over here, but do pop up on fleabay now and again. And yes it is the silver SVO kit I have it does look a real nice kit, I was very lucky with the glass, a tire had welded to it and when I peeled off the offending item the plastic windshield was slightly tacky from the reaction, but i did manage to sand it down (almost too much..there is a slight depression now lol) but it looks clear and almost as good as new. Great blog by the way Ill be following that one.

Looking great jason , nice work so far

I have that that Vintage car wrecks book, Im almost afraid to say I like the book as there are some pretty nasty crashes in there. There was a similar book a few years back by Taschen i think called Car Crashes featuring Mel Kilpatricks accident photography that one is interesting yet very graphic and not for the squeamish.

Yep models and guitars for me too, I was in a few rock type bands about 10 years ago, my current "gear" I have Fender Precision Bass Fender Jazz bass 60s reissue Gibson SG Special (Pete Towshend ltd ) Fender Telecaster Lite Ash Epiphone Les Paul Custom Fender Bronco and Mustang modelling amps ...great little amps.

I have the MPC 79 Indy Pace car Mustang and the 84 SVO kits in the stash, I only recently got them just because I like the shape of the Fox body Mustangs and I was quite surprised at the level of detail in these old kits......apart from the floorpan but that can be enhanced. And yes both kits suffered the usual MPC traits the pace car had hardly and parts left attached to the trees, and the SVO kit had a tire that had welded to the windsheild, but I managed to fix that by sanding and polishing it out. Adam you are a bit like me in liking the offbeat and loser cars, I just havent built any yet!. So are the other MPC kits like the Mustang for detail , Im thinking the EXP and the Daytona maybe?.

The photos are a little out of focus, but you can still see the fabulous paint and decal work, Ill be following along on this one. Great work

Very nice, not a subject seen very often too

From Svens Facebook page this morning....... definitely an A990 car with that exhaust set up . Fantastic news!, even if it is old news ! Lol

Lee looking good mate, great paint detailing

As always Tulio, stunning work you are the master of the 57 Fords man

Thankyou all for the very kind comments, makes it all worthwhile
