Nicely done!

Nice job restoring this, it turned out great!

Very cool!

Thanks! Credit where due, the swirly plastic polishes out too a decent gloss, so Monogram got that right.

Thanks, guys! One thing that was a huge help on the taillights was giving them a light block sanding before paint. I tried a couple of times and just kept making a mess, then finally figured out that the casting had left slight domes on all the ribs. It made finding the edges that much harder, and with the slick surface the paint kept running down into the lenses. By flattening and roughening them, it was much easier (still not perfect, but close enough for me to not have to strip them again).

Thanks, guys! Given the subject matter, it seems somehow fitting that hte kit came out this way. At least they finished fixing it for later releases! Yup, and if you leave it as-is it lines up perfectly to exit against the inside of the rear bumper cover. One more thing to shake our heads about. I think some Micro Machines were more accurate than this kit! ?

Great looking car, nicely done!

Very clean, that looks great!

I've got one of these on the bech now, hoping it turns out even half this clean. Very nice!

Some awesome work here, great job guys! Not sure I'm going to be able to get the Ferrari finished before December, going to depend on how Thanksgiving weekend looks.

Thank you!

Excellent!

Gorgeous work on the Eliminator!

Nicely done!

Yes, I actually built this automotive mullet. Proper reviews of the kit are available here and here, so I'll just summarize with this: a halfhearted update of an existing kit, made to cash in on a TV show that never went anywhere. The only thing that made it interesting was the swirly plastic the kit was cast in, which didn't do much to replicate the 1:1 car's marbled paint job but at least provided something fun to look at while building it. I did replace the interior with a later version from Revell's Fox convertible, and updated the intake manifold to the correct fuel injection unit. But then I realized (too late) that the battery was still modled in the old location and I wouldn't be able use the snorkel and air box, so a triangular air cleaner was taken from AMT's Mustang II kit. Consider it a perfomance upgrade. I also added skirt extensions to cover the gaps between the old chassis and new rockers. The rest of it was built box stock, with the upper half of the body polished and the lower painted Tamiya Light Gunmetal. A full writeup of the build is available here, and as always comments/criticisms are welcome. With its classic counterpart:

Nice looking group you've done!
