👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great job on all counts. I’ll also add that you got the lighting just right for the photos. 👍🏻

Has anyone heard any rumours as to whether Revell will be reissuing the ‘77 Monte Carlo snap kit in the near or distant future? I can’t recall the last time it was out, but it seems long enough that it might be low hanging fruit for them to add another one into their product planning lineup.

Great colour choice! Nice job on the build!

Looks so much better than what comes in the box!

Great info, Bob! Thanks! I’m way behind on my project list, but this one will be penciled in there, only to rise further upon the procurement of the appropriate body/roof!

Thanks for clearing that up. I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience. I look forward to following your build thread!

Love it! Awesome concept and execution!

What was your bad experience?

I hate it when politics interfere with the hobby! 😠 I too have some concern about the effects that this will have on the model companies, the distributors, the local hobby shops who may already be struggling, etc. Let's hope this foolishness ends sooner than later.

I am thinking no. I consider myself to be an ‘old guy’ (or almost…heh heh), and I wasn’t even aware of its existence. Now that I see a picture of it, I’m thinking “meh” because I have no connection to it, or no nostalgia as such. While I would be happy for those who wanted one, I couldn’t help but wonder which clone project that might appeal to many more builders wouldn’t get budget because of this. That said, Round 2 decides what projects to take on, not me. I certainly can’t complain as they have brought out so much that has literally blown my mind over the past few years! Just my 2 cents…

Cool!

Nice job on the IROC cars! I remember seeing the very first IROC race on TV back in the day, when they ran Porsche 911s IIRC. Would love to do a second gen Camaro build one day.

Nice job on the short tracker! I remember in the 1970s, Camaro bodied cars were the most plentiful, and yours has just the right feel to it. Looks like it’s ready to trade paint with the best of them!

Nice job on the flat hood!

Ah… thanks! Really appreciate that! 👍🏻

Sorry, I meant which size tires? I bought a few sets of their tires in 1/25 a while back and was wondering if they would fit. 🙂

Looks fantastic! I was meaning to ask you - which tire did you go with from Fireball?

I’m usually not a huge fan of white cars, but there is one near me that is white (with red seats, I think) and it is quite striking. As an aside, I know I’m getting old, because when I saw ‘20 Vette, the first thought that popped into my head was “they didn’t make Corvettes in 1920…”. 🥴 😁

It was just an idea I had, as they look better than the mess that Salvinos put in their boxes. They are pricey, but perhaps less work, or at least less frustrating, plus you have to factor in the cost of saw blades... I've always tried to take the high road regarding Salvinos kits, but geez, couldn't they have at least put a little more work into making them look right? The body, and especially the front fascia, is what everybody sees when they look at the completed kit, and IMHO for the prices they charge it's shameful that you have to go through the amount of work that you do in order to get it looking acceptable. That said, I have a few of these that I will tackle someday, so I appreciate your going through the trouble to make something out of it, and documenting it for all of us to follow along and learn from your hard work. Thanks!!

I’m just gonna say “WOW!”.

That was my understanding as well. However, I’m not aware of any other similar applications for the white wheel other than the CHP. …which isn’t to say that I know… I just haven’t seen it anywhere else, other than the CHP cars.

Yes! Especially true for the CHP. The white steering wheels are an example that companies would build whatever the CHP wanted them to build - they were a very important customer. Blue interiors would be a small ask.

Looking good! On the front end, I’m wondering if using one of Canuck 3D’s ‘73 - ‘75 Monre Carlo conversions would be an option.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I hope these troubles are only short term. On the plus side for me is that there isn’t anything on the list, except for maybe the Shelby Mustang, that I have to have, so I can relax for now.
