1969 A12 Roadrunner (I will need some advice)
rickcaps55 replied to Brutalform's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I'm 66 I bought them when they first came out and in the 60's they were $2.00 each and a lot of store had them for as little a $1.00 even today I try to fine and buy any JoHan kit I can I have a good stash of them now but I always loved there kits it's to bad that 90% of there tooling has been lost or sold off for scrap it's truly a lose. -

Hi that came out awesome very nice build looks like a nice resin kit. I have a quick and easy fix for the windshield for you I use it my self get that 5 second bond UV glue put a couple of small drops between the glass and the frame and use a toothpick and push the glass up through one of the side windows as you hit it with the UV light in 5 sec your done and you can't see the fix this way you do not have to take it apart.

Hi that's the hood I used for the 67 Tempest I'm doing but it's to small for the Rev 66 I'm also doing a 66 I just cut out the hood scoop and filled it in and used a small piece of evergreen plastic strip to make the center line. I have also done a 64 Tempest and a 68 Tempest. here are some pic's of the 68 and 64.

That's cool looking I'm from Chicago there is a guy from around my area I'm by O'Hare area who has a 69 that was converted about 10 years ago his is in the copper color with white in side and strip it was done at a local shop they did a great job on it and it's a big hit at all the local car shows it should have been a production car it would have been a hit back in the 60,s. can't wait to see your project finished.

1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone (update 1/4/19) Finished!
rickcaps55 replied to RancheroSteve's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Hi I thought that they were the taillights so I did stain them red and then I took a small blade and open up the space in between the chrome bars on the tail panel the plastic is very thin there its almost like they wanted you do it that way but never put it in the instruction sheet it worked you can see the lens not much of it but it does show through. -
Dam ! that's a awesome save very nice.!!

WoW ! WoW ! the awesome thing I see in this kit is that after all these years Revell has finely started to do a nice set of tires for there kits I love the detail they put in there kits but trouth be told there tires suck I have always replaced them with the AMT parts pack tires this is nice. Now they need to sell them in a parts pack so I can replace a hole lot of tires on there kits.!!! Ho ya the kit looks awesome I will be getting a couple of them.
