Welcome to the forum Kelly! I picked up the hobby about 3 years ago after a lifetime away from it, and have also found this forum a great resource - - - plus you get to make friends! I too love your first effort and think you will be able to proudly display it for years to come. As for shaky hands, I have found modeler's masking tape very useful to apply when trying to get crisp lines. As an aside, some of your photos seemed to have a depth-of-field issue. What are you using to take the pics? Many cameras these days have a setting for close-ups, especially phone cameras. Can't wait to see your next one!

Thank you kindly Tim. I tend to feel a bit of extra responsibility when building such older models to do them justice, and this one certainly caused me to stretch my limited abilities. I am very pleased you liked the outcome.

Sad to see the archivealaccess removed for this iconic magazine. It took me the better part of a year to pore through them for this thread, and as it turns out, it was time well spent. Just as an FYI, if anyone needs other articles from this time period, let me know as I still have the means to look them up.

Total beauty!

HO, HO, HO, that is one SWEET ride!

Just another stunner Claude! You are such an out-of-the-box designer and builder!

Gorgeous build!

Two absolute beauties! Did you happen to do a WIP on these? There are so many touches I'd love to know more about!

What a stunner of a rarely heard of car! Well done as usual Ken.

Of course the paint job is gorgeous as always Tim, but I am especially loving the detailed engine and killer stance!

Wicked kool!

Great tribute to the Coyote X, and very kool color choices!

Totally beautiful build! I love the particular shade of green - it just seems so period correct. Well done for your grandson!

Such a well done build of a model that I didn't even know existed! At 1:16th scale, it must be at least 5 inches long

Man, that's a sweet ride! Yours is the version that should be on the box art for sure!

Great nod to a bygone era! I can hear the disco music blaring through the speakers as we speak

Beautiful color choices and detailing!

Very classy in your color combo, and under the hood looks quite realistic. Well done!

Sweet ride, and especially nice brightwork!

I definitely like both versions of this car, but have to admit that the orange color particularly appeals to me. It reminds me a lot of the AMX III paintwork. Well done!

I like the Italian flag color scheme, but with those tires and rims, it must certainly be an Abarth built for stinging Ferraris!

Such a beautiful build harkening back to a simpler time. I love the color choices!

I love them both! When they are ugly little cars, the dirt is called "grimy". When they are sweet rides like yours though, it is called "patina"!

Sweet on the outside, and sweeter still uthe hood! hood!

Looks great! It's got a serious Holden Efijy vibe going on.
