  1. Now this Palmer kit has fantastic box art , don’t wanna talk about the kit inside
  2. The black one is a Mach1 ( not put the stripes on yet ) and the red one is the new Boss302
  3. I made a ‘70 ‘Convert outta the Shelby the same way . It drives me crazy the 1/24’s are too big ( yes the MPC ‘69 Mustang is too small ) I like 1/25 scale cars
  4. I took the new Revell Boss 302 , took the hood an nose from the Monogram (1/24) Boss429 , cut it to fit . I’m very happy with the results
  5. That looks really good , I’ve got one of the re-issued kits but haven’t been inspired which route to take it . I like this look !
  6. I ordered it from Amazon.com ( not Amazon.ca ) , it’s on it way
  7. I bought this one because of the box art (as most Palmer kits had great artwork) but the kit inside leaves a lot to desire ! The box art looks like a 1970 Mustang , yet the body is that of maybe a mashup of a ‘71 Mustang mashed up with the back half of a ‘70 with the ‘71 twilight panel . And by the way there’s no way the exhaust could exit like the artwork , the steering box and frame rails are in the way . But it sure looks cool .
  8. I found this one a couple weeks ago
  9. The Red 4X4 version says copyright 1977
  10. I bought both of these kits over 35 years ago . The blue one I built when new , the other just couple years ago . Looks good on my shelf , I don’t turn them over very often .
  11. How about this one is it real ? If yes , then I’m guessing it’s an AMT release of the Jo-Han mold ? And if real how long ago was it released ?
  12. What if Revell were to build it ?
  13. 25$ was a fair price to me , copy right says 1979 . That seems about right to the one in built , I would have been 14(ish) when I built mine .
  14. Wasn’t this supposed to be coming out soon ?
  15. I’d buy that over any coke car that’s been put out . Now if only Round 2 can get Coke and Levi’s together to make the DenimMachine that would be something . I’ve only seen one in person , and even seen two Levi’s Edition AMC Gremlins ( that’s another one to kit ) . Or the Firestone SuperStones Van !
  16. Amazon.ca says out of stock and not sure when or if re-stock
  17. This is terrific news , when Round2 is just re-issuing and re-issuing over and over the same kits , it great to see model companies building new kits . Period . It looks like AMT/MPC ( owned by Round2 ) will never build a new kit ! Now Revell lets see a ‘70 Cougar and ‘70 Cyclone , how about ‘72 Torino/Montego ?
  18. Is that kit the same as the newly re-issued Nicolas Eliminator2 Cyclone ? You know the one that has a body of an altered wheelbase car yet the kit wants you to build it as a funny car . The radiator attaches to the core support and lifts up with the body !
  19. The Revell 1970 Torino is a very nice kit . Here’s two , Sublime Green and Grabber Green I custom mixed the colours myself , I’ve built a few , made one a convertible and one is becoming a ‘70 1/2 Falcon ( grafted the Cyclone roof one )
  20. Revel needs to make a 1971 Mustang or ‘71Cyclone to put the AMT/MPC kits to shame !
  21. The Revel ‘69Boss 302 , ‘69Mach 1 and the ‘69Shelby Convert&Fastback all share the same interior chassis and many parts . You will find parts from all 4 kits on the spruce trees in either kit . Most Boss 302 engines I’ve seen in real cars have cast aluminum rocker covers . Yes the boss 302 used Cleveland heads , and yes probably stamped steel rocker covers were used . The Mach1 and Shelby kits had 428 CobraJet engines .
  22. If I could find decals I’d like to built this car , yes looks more like a Montego than a Cyclone
  23. I built this one , wanting to build his ‘71 Cyclone and ‘70 Torino some time
