It is looking great Urs!👍 I would not have the patience for all that decal work.😬

I think they’ve been running amok all over this forum!😬

My wife thinks I have more models than I will ever build, and she might be right? That said, she has never complained about me buying more…she just rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She has three guitars and two amps and….so we each have our hobbies. We have no kids to bequeath anything to, so our motto is: we can’t take it with us and the cheque to the undertaker should bounce.😜 I only have around a hundred kits and plan to build them all except for the ones I bought as possible parts donors, so I better get busy.😳

You’re only a short drive from Winnipeg….I’ll come and pick ‘em up.🤪

Nice! That maroon looks great on anything.👍

I love these kits. They aren’t great so I don’t mind trying heavy modifications!🤪 If you go with the V12, I am for sure following!😈

Vallejo 71.317 light blue is pretty darn close to your buddys color in case you need another option.

Heres a link to a YouTube build of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiz0BJnEqDw

Nice start David. Engine looks fabulous!😎

Do you have a dremel or similar rotary tool? Files will work, but a good quality set of burrs will make short work of that flash.

Welcome to the forums Andria. You will find everyone here helpful and courteous.

You’re welcome. Apparently the box art was corrected at some point. I don’t know if it ever contained F250 parts? My kit has the proper 1/2 ton front suspension. As in coil springs instead of leafs.

Cool project!👍 Are you planning on shortening it up any?😈 Chevy did build 2 door Chevelle wagons. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/1964-chevelle-300-2-door-station-wagon-it-should-have-been-called-nomad-why-did-they-build-these-anyway/

The kit I have has 5 lug rims and the box art shows five lugs also. Kit #1230. Edit: It also has the upper and lower trim molded in, if that is what you’re looking for. It should be relatively easy to shorten the box and frame.

I’ve wasted more masking tape and Bare Metal Foil by trying to be frugal than if I had just cut an obviously oversized piece in the first place.

Anyway you want to build your model is all right by me, but It’s not a credo that has universal consensus.

Was the front bumper done with that stuff? If so, it looks pretty good!👍

Due to my exhaustive research and diligent planning 🙄…. the 1/32 interior fits with very little modification. I had to do some grinding and I re-oriented the dash slightly. Much easier than starting from scratch.🙂

I’ve got more grinding to do on that Corvette, so I ordered a set of larger burrs.

I wish I had that many kits…but I still wouldn’t sit on them.😳

Breakfast consists of a cup of coffee and my meds.

There be squirrels Captain!

Looking good Bob!👍 Nice solution for the grill.😎

I like that color on it too Michael.👍 I am interested in how this goes together, since I have this kit in both the MPC and AMT versions which I gather are from the same molds.
