I repositioned the pipes. Good tip for future though.

I did a 62 Impala a few years ago. Can see here: Hope I gave you a little inspiration. It took me a while to learn various techniques. Mostly from this site. Keep on modeling Kelly.

Hah! I just realized that the headers do not line up with the pipes. First issue to fix. Ugh.

Next up is this Revell 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400. One of my fav cars as a kid. The kit has two options, stock and a drag racer version. I'm going with the drag version, except I will keep the interior stock. Colors will be silver metallic over this light blue with the black and red firebird decals. I'm thinking grey interior. I've already completed the engine and frame, exhaust, etc. Still engine details to do.

Nice! Great paint job, looks like the real thing.

Simply beautiful!

Thanks guys. I wish the kits tolerances for the hood and grill were better. I did what I could to fix it but still far from my perfectionist perfect.

Fantastic job all around. Was the blue tint on the grill an option on the 1/1 ?

Excellent job on this one!

Thanks Harry!

Sublime!

Perfection all the way around.

Perfection! Especially like the interior.

Hey gents, thanks for all the encouraging comments. I'm already thinking to start another one. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Just finished this Mobius kt of the 1961 Catalina. Can see in the In Progress section too.

Lots of tolerance issues with parts fit in this kit. Finished up some minor trim stuff and calling it done. Will post in Under Glass.

It took a lot of cutting and filing, but finally got the front grill/bumper to fit reasonably well. Not perfect though.

Thanks for the tip on the grill. I tried sanding a windshield on another ki, but ended up causing a Crack, so I'll leave as is.

Very nice job. I can't wait to see the finished car.

One of the door handles mysteriously disappeared from my workbench overnight. I suspect the cat 🐈 I fabricated one from the triple carb gas line assembly that Was not used. Looks ok, I guess.

After much consternation, a whole lot of shaking and a little swearing, I foiled the window chrome trim. As you can see below, the windshield on this kit does not fit quite right, but leaving as-is because I am not adept at reshaping the plastic.

A little more progress If you are building this kit, beware of the sequence of directions. Fo example, put the muffler pipes on before putting on the frame. I did not and had difficulty installing the pipes beneath the frame. Also, the wheels that use the beauty rings and moons do not work. So I went with the cragerlike custom wheels.
