    Odd that your kit instructions are for a prestige kit, but call it a 1968. The Scalemates 099-38159 instructions match yours, but do not show the display stand.

    The 099-38159 instruction sheet I posted above is from scalemates for the gray car box. The parts match the yellow prestige edition exactly. Thanks for that hint Harry. The prestige edition also contains a display stand.

    Possible? The instructions you posted are for a 1968 Corvair, but mine is sold as a 1969….but the kit number is the same 6773. If there were any changes you would think they’d give it a different number.? The 2005 release is just a rebox (different number though) as the instructions are identical to the parts I have in the box.

    And those tires! They look like Interco boggers. Link to article about the tractor: https://www.dieselworldmag.com/uncategorized/from-farm-to-hot-rod/

    Thanks Harry, I will check them out too. Edit: It appears that the next release instructions are identical to the kit #6773 pictured above. Thankfully my kit is not missing any parts.?

    Thank You very much Gerry.? I have parts that are not shown on the Fotki site, so I’m not sure what I have and don’t have. Edit: I have a complete kit and it is apparently identical to the next release.? Parts for the “145” engine and ”Spyder” option are not included in either of these two kits.

    Can anyone post pictures of the instructions for this kit? I found them on Fotki, but they are chopped up, out of order, and I think missing sections? Thanks in advance, Greg.?

    Garden muh stash I am.?

    Those are stunningly beautiful cars! You are a lucky man. I built one myself although it’s not quite as large as that one.?

    I think you’re on the right track with this idea Len. I would make a pattern of how you want the molding to look, and cut the new molding from .030”? styrene sheet. Carefully file or scrape away the unwanted existing portion and glue the new section in place.

    Fine white Milliput is my favourite filler.

    That is looking Wicked Martin!?

    This was the biggest turnout I’ve seen yet.? Just a few pics of my favourites. The little Morris Woody has the original paint the owner says.?

    Favorite model kit of all time…I have many.

    Back to the bezels…I don’t recall exactly how I went about fixing mine, but if I build another, I would build up the outer edges (red arrows) with Milliput or maybe sprue goo. Then I would thin out the bezels from the inside (yellow arrows)

    I never noticed that when building mine.? It’s not too bad…the ridge could be sanded a little smoother, especially towards the rear. Worse I think is that the actual car has a flat space on the back edge of the trunk that carries on down the back edge of the fenders. That corner ridge is rounded off on the model.? All minor compared to the mis-shapened headlight bezels.

    Looking good John.? I like how you re-adjusted the seat locations.?

    A bit of progress here…I drilled out the exhaust tips. I hollowed out the defrost vents on the dash which were actually raised lumps, and added a speaker grill that I made from some photo etch grating that I found at a local model train shop. The front wheel mounts are raised and the stance set at what I think is a more acceptable attitude.?
  19. NOBLNG
    Now, now, boys…don’t get into a pissing match.?
  20. NOBLNG
    The headlight area isn’t any better I don’t think.? There are some fit issues with this kit also…here’s a link to my build thread: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/133121-amt-70-12-camaro/

    Soon, even though I have half a dozen on the go, I WILL crack open another kit or two.
  22. NOBLNG
    I have a ‘34 that I’m not sure what to do with, so I will follow along Bil.?
  23. NOBLNG
    Beautiful work as always Dennis! I’m sure this on will be equally awesome.?
  24. NOBLNG
    It Depends…?

    The body on this kit is pretty nice, but it has some low spots on the rear fenders, and some high spots along the door seams that need a bit of dressing. I am going to add a vinyl roof so I added the trim and top seams using.030” half round that I am currently scraping and sanding down to a more realistic thickness and profile. That’s all for now folks…thanks for lookin’.?
