    I just picked up a built up/parts kit of the MPC Dick Harrell F/C, something I have been looking for for a long time. I remember my older brother letting me "help" him with this kit and how I thought it was the coolest thing! The first thing is the original body molded to look like fiberglass on the inside? The parts are molded in red but the "tin" work for the interior is molded in white. Also is there any other more readily available kits that use the same frame and suspension parts? They are there but are in pretty rough shape and it would be great to have clean parts! Would the Polar Lights chassis be correct for that era F/C?

    I saw the prototype/test at the Detroit show and the taillights look like the did some work on them but not sure, they looked good to me! They also did some work on the grille and they said it will have clear headlights! They tooled up some dog dish hubcaps as well!

    Hi all, this is the Moebius Hudson Hornet Tim Flock kit. I have only built a few NASCAR models and really like the vintage subjects and hope they come out with more! I really liked this kit and thought it went together well. I couldn’t find the correct blue so I got close, it’s a little lighter but I think it looks ok! I made a couple mistakes such as putting 2 of the pure lube decals in the wrong place and I didn’t remove the backup light moldings from the rear, the instructions recommend to do so but overall I am very happy how it turned out! Comments always welcome!

    Thanks for the kind comments! I really enjoy doing this kind of stuff and hopefully my skills will improve along the way!

    I have a question with the notifications here. When I post a topic sometimes I get notifications that someone reacted to a post. When I click on the notification it takes me to my post but there is nothing from the user who reacted to the post. My question is what am I doing wrong that I cant see what they reacted to? Is there something else I should be opening up and looking at? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi all, this is a “phantom” what if 77 Monte Carlo. This started from another project that I wanted the roof for and I didn’t really want to toss the rest of the body so I figured I would use a Johan Cutlass roof from a lightly damaged promo. That was my first mistake! After I had the roof molded on I thought it would look cool with the vent style side windows on the Chevelle nascar kit so I dug up one of those and instead of replacing the whole roof I thought “I’ll just cut out the side windows” Nothing like making a lot more work for myself! I also added some IROC Camaro hood louvers. I was going for a factory prototype style that Chevy may have built. Overall I like the way it turned out even though my bodywork and scratchbuilding skills are no where near what is on this forum. Comments always welcome!

    Looks great! Nice touch with the color matching hubcaps!

    Thanks guys! Espo yes I did repaint it, this was the preprinted version black with flames and those flames gave me some trouble trying to remove them so I sanded them off and the caused the primer to really fish eye so I ended up stripping the primer and trying to clean off what ever residue I didn’t get off.

    Hi all, I recently finished this Revell snap kit. I picked this up for a couple bucks at an antique mall, took it apart a quick repaint and changed the wheels. A nice quick project! Let me know what you think, comments always welcome!

    Thanks Mark! That is the retail price on this kit also.

    Hi all, a friend from my model club picked up an AMT Graveyard Ghoul duo issue of the Munster Coach and the Dragula and he was asking about the boxes, one has the T number followed by the price and the other one just has the T number with no price. I thought that the one with the price would have been earlier but was not totally sure, anybody have an idea? Also what was the first time these were issued? Were they issued separate or together at first and if separate what was the first time they were issued together? Any help would be great and as always Thanks in advance!!!!

  23. fordf-100
    That looks great! I’m working on one now and they seem like really nice kits! Hope mine looks as good as yours!

    Great looking truck!

    Yeah that makes sense, i have seen another Challenger 1 that was in California in a magazine but they could be the same car and they moved it to Florida, that was really cool to see and I need to find the kit, I built one years ago and I don’t think I can take it apart, it was a tough build!
