    MPC/AMT kits seem to always offer more options, but sacrifice quality, and ease of build. Monogram/Revell usually go together best, while offering very few, or no options.

    But they are Volvos. They are the tank of automobiles. How much damage could you do to one? Do you just drive around till they run out of gas?

    Beautiful My grandmother was a car gal who owned a red and white 55 Crown vic, a black and white 56 Crown vic along with two 64 Galaxies one red, one white. Your models bring back memories.

    One person's dedication is another person's madness. It is all about perspective.😉

    Outstanding! I love the dedication to get it done and done right no matter how long it took.

    The good thing is that kit offers 2- or 4-wheel drive choices

    Great build. Love the show, and the many famous cars James Garner drove. I will be following along.

    Walking through local Walsmart is hit or miss, but in a full display in action alley by the toy dept, I found gold. At least three I did not have. This F-150 almost jumped out at me and begging me to adopt it. So, I did. I am smelling Baja prerunner in its future.

    I am fairly sure what makes them an "E" or European export is the 2.8/3.1/3.8 V6 was the only engine option, no V8. It would have had left hand rule of the road headlamps, fender turn signals, rear for lamps, amber rear turn signals, wider opening for rear plate, and so on to meet European laws.

    Finally got a Captain Hook. I have always wanted one since the came out a black snap kit sometime in the 80s. The tires and wheels are all wrong, but I have a set of dually wheels from an AMT C3500 I will use instead.

    What I find interesting is the 454ci engine was not even an option in the Captain Hook package. It came with a 350ci engine, and that was the only choice.

    Seems he Captain Hook Wrecker from Revell is a real package GMC offered. Having seen it in black, and wearing different decals over the years, I assumed the themes were created in house at Revell. But seems the current blue offering by Revell is the most accurate based on box art, having painted it in blue.

    I had a Revell plow truck I purchased, and painted 10+ years ago. I used the frame and drivetrain to make the Foxy Box van 4X4, and the plow went to replica of my plow truck. So today I corrected all of that nonsense and used a gift card to get the Big Game Country pickup to put the painted body purpose again. I also purchased another Warlock Dodge since the 4x4 system went under the long bed 78 Dodge to make a M880, and the 2WD from that went to the Warlock to make another Roadkill vehicle. The Mopar Muscle Truck! Stealing from Peter to pay Paul only leads to more models purchased.🙄

    I have the same book. I got it when it first came out. It was the reason for my love for early C4 Corvettes.

    Incredible work

    This morning, I mentioned the Celica was it for a while, then this happened at two stores. My wife said it is close enough to your birthday, go ahead. I love that woman.

    My last one for a while. I ordered this one directly from Japan.

    Not a warp. That is how the roof flows on the real car.
  20. WillyBilly
    Outstanding.

    I will probably do stock with either a two-tone grey paint, or red with black.

    Another Hobby Lobby adoption.

    I remember the original concept car that mimicked the original Bugatti Atlantic. I built the model to as close to the original concept as possible. It is such a beautiful car. I can't wait to see what you do with this one. So far, I like the progress.

    Great looking J10 Where did you find an early grill?
