Got the dash completed... painted the gauge trim rings with silver then applied the decals with markfit. They sink right in and fit great. Painted the various knobs and lights on the dash as per the instructions and used a satin finish on the top of the dash and flat black on the lower

Completed most of the interior... the seats are aluminum buckets with padded leather inserts, so I painted the backs in aluminum and did a two tone with semi gloss and flat black on the leather. Turned out nice but the seatbelt decals got a bit silvery on the edges. I'll try some Markfit on the decals to see if that will get rid of it. Something I noticed right away is that the fit of the parts is very precise and accurate, until you add any kind of paint. There is no built in leeway for the paint so all connections have to be whittled down to bare plastic on both sides. Roll cage came out nice and straight with good clamp details. After viewing countless pictures the floor appeared to be aluminum also, so I painted it flat black then used silver dry brush to give it a worn effect. mostly on the drivers side. Next job is the dash...

Started a build of the Porsche 934 Jagermeister... a classic racer, bright and flashy with the huge turbocharged boxer six in the back. Excellent model quality so far and a real nice change from all the North American design models. Not going to make many changes other than maybe leaving out a few of the excessive decals. I will be definitely lowering the stance by 2 millimeters front and back by paring down the wheel mounting points slightly. Any picture I see of the completed model always shows it sitting too high, so this should help. Looking forward to a fun build... Cheers DanL

What a match up that was... very cool! Cheers

Wow... very nice build. Great looking street car Cheers

Frampton on guitar...

nice work.... Cheers

That 70 Charger is a piece of work... beautiful Cheers DanL

The Pope is gonna have one fine car...😊

nice

wonderful stuff...

Just used the air cleaner and valve covers from the Foose side of the kit and painted with clear red. I had intended on doing the entire car in clear red but it didn't work for me. I've just switched to Krylon paint on my newest build and it's working much better. Cheers

Early, early favorite e

Thanks for the nice comments... It actually shows better in real life than my lousy pictures show. The white interior and black exterior are a real striking contrast and the details on this kit are excellent Cheers Dan

Thanks for the tip... I think I have to use Tamiya paint for both the base and the clear red. I am going to try it again on a 67 chevelle SS (another beautiful car) Cheers Dan

Two things I've learned since coming back to the hobby. Keep your trim thin and as sharp as possible and make sure your hood fits 100%.... You just have to remember to multiply the size of your item by 24 and keep it in proportion. If you paint your window trim 1/8 wide that would be 3 inches wide on a real car.. doesn't look right. Working on a Porsche 934 RSR Jagermeister right now... nice change

This was a very nice kit to build... lots of pieces and opportunities to customize. Everything fit nicely with great detail and I was able to dress up the engine a bit. One problem is that the engine is a 396 big block but the fender decals are for a 409. Both are correct for the year but they don't match. In my opinion the Chevrolet body designs from 1965 to 1970 were the best they had ever created and this 65 SS was a pleasure to build and brought back a lot of memories.

Finished the Revell 1965 Chevy SS... mostly stock but I tried to replicate the nice 65 SS I owned in the early 70's. Changed the stance with some lift blocks on the rear axle and used the american racing 200s mags and tires from the revell 1970 charger kit. Took a bit of adjusting and spacing to get the wheels to fit but it turned out ok. I planned on doing a very deep candy red paint job using Tamiya clear red over glossy black but kept running into paint crinkling and wrinkling problems. So I left it in glossy black with some bad patches of orange peel.... I'm about 80% happy with it.

Seems like all companies have decided to use the Covid event ( Social Instability) to gouge the consumer and wildly increase their prices and now we are seeing the reports coming out of all the record profits they are generating. Rustoleum has bought up it's competition and will charge whatever they like and we have little choice. The competition that's left will also increase prices because for them that is the smart thing to do... this is a serious world problem and not just a hobbyists headache

the 70 camaro was a great looking car....

My 1970 1/2 Z-28 from 1974... I remember many Sunday mornings replacing the broken U-bolt on the right side traction bar. My eternal nemesis was a bright white 1970 Hemi Cuda. We would meet on the street or at Pacemaker Automotive at least once a week. I'm working on replicating it with the 70 1/2 AMT Z-28 kit... Cheers DanL

nice

On nice days...

Thanks for all the nice comments... Working on recreating my 1965 Chevy SS that I owned in the early 70's Cheers

50 of the 1966 GT350h were delivered in red... It's a rare car and a nice change from the black. I never owned a mustang but have always appreciated them, especially the earlier ones. Cheers DanL
