Very nice and a great color choice!

Nice Vette! That was a surprisingly nice kit with lots of details. I had a lot of fun building mine too.

Those are beauties! Well done!

LOL, yes I did. Thanks for the info! To me, the differences are barely, if at all, noticeable, but that's just me. I know there are some knowledgeable folks out there that can spot tiny differences like they're night and day. Personally, I would be fine building an "inaccurate" version using the '81 snapper decals if they fit ok, even if I will get called out for it, lol.

But outside of the fender vents, which most people wouldn't even notice anyways, what are the differences between the '79 and '81 Z28's in real life. Sure a few folks on here will pounce on minute details between the two, but I don't think it would be hard to pass off the '79 as an '81 or even as a '79 using the '81 stripes. Just my thoughts.

Someone should do some measuring to see if the stripes from the much maligned recent release 1981 Camaro Z28 will fit on the Billy's 1979 Z28. The '81 does include 4 different color choices for the stripes, even though the '81 is 1/25 scale while the '79 is 1/24, I'm skeptical as to the scale accuracy of the '81. If they fit or are very close and not really noticeable, that would give the '81 some purchasing clout, lol. I may try it myself if no one else cares to, but it might be a while.

Thanks guys!

That Boss '32 is wicked!

Thanks! I have a YouTube video on how I did the ghost flames if you're interested.

Thanks Bill! The wheels and tires for the '55 Chevy and '69 GTO came from Jay's Resin Wheels and Tires on eBay. For the '67 Chevelle I cut the back of the kit wheels off and used the deep ring. I took a pair of wheels from Morgan Automotive Detail and did the same thing, and glued the MAD spoke part onto the kit deep dish rings. I left the front pair from MAD un-altered and just used the kit tires for both front and back. If you're interested I did a tutorial for my YouTube channel.

Thanks guys!

Here's my 13 completed builds for 2024 in completed order, plus a quick color change on the '69 Olds 442 to finish the year.

Thanks everyone!

For my last project of 2024, I decided to give my AMT 1969 Olds 442 W-30 built in July 2020 a quick re-paint. It was originally painted in Decoart Metallic Berry, but I changed it to as close to Saffron Yellow as I could get using Apple Barrel White and Apple Barrel Sunny Day Yellow. I cleared it with Createx UVLS 4050 Gloss and gave it the wet-sand, polish, and wax treatment. I used Bare Metal Foil for the trim. I did adjust the ride height slightly and painted the wheel spokes in a lighter shade. Everything else was left un-altered from the original build. I do like this new color combo much better! Last 3 pics are the original color. As always, thanks for looking!

Great work all around! My faves are the BMW M6 and the Viper!
