    Absolutely beautiful model, thanks for posting!

    Thanks for the ideas! I've had them as early as 1960 I agree That's a possibility.

    So are you saying you need 2 tail lights for the Classic or a set for the Classic and a set for the American? Either way is no problem. -Rich

    I had four of these NOS kits so didn't feel too guilty about building one of them. It's not an especially valuable kit. It's built right out of the box except that I used Modelhaus tires as the 61 kit tires reacted with the plastic. I finished this one last Sunday but just took the pictures yesterday. !961 is my favorite (and the first) year of this body style. I hope you enjoy looking at it. Comments and questions, good or bad, are always welcomed. -Rich

    Hi John, I can make up a mold and cast some if you don't mind waiting a few days. You are looking for the Rambler Classic tail lights, not the American, correct? I can make either. Rich

    They are hard to find but I still have the built kit, 2 unbuilt, and 4 of the Crystal Starflites. It took over 40 years.

    This one was a neatly built model with no painting or damage.It was easy to disassemble. I hand painted the whitewalls as it came with narrow ones. I did a simple job painting the engine. The hood fits very well on this one. I have a thing about ill fitting engine hoods and usually glue them shut if the fit is not good. Of course, most of my builds didn't come with opening hoods so it's seldom an issue for me. The rear gate was a one piece hatch on these cars but a power rear window was optional so i added the vertical bars as only the center part of the window went down. As always, thank you for looking and feel free to ask any questions and/or leave any comments. It's always appreciated. -Rich

    I was asked to post some photos of my 65 Starfire. I just taped it together so you can see what it looks like. The wheels and tires are not the ones that came with it. I didn't want to mount the rims into the tires as the tires are rock hard and the rims won't go in easily. I think the box art is the best part as is the case with many of Palmer's models but it isn't their worst effort and you can tell what it is. I know of no other 65 Starfire kit that was made. This is one you don't see often. Maybe you don't want to! Thanks for looking! Comments, good or bad , are welcome. -Rich

    I don't often build customs but this one looks great! Very nice color too.

    Thanks Gene!

    Thank you Rusty. My unbuilt kit stash is small compared to many on here (4-500), but most are original kits from 1955-70. I also have some resin kits. I try to do restorations when possible rather than build the NOS kits. -Rich

    Nice, very sinister look.

    Here's a 59 Plymouth I finished a while ago. I repaired the glue damage and holes from the previous builder and polished the glass. It has Modelhaus chrome. The tires are originals. The paint is Krylon Maize Yellow with a white roof. I added wheel wells to the original chassis. I also added clear sections to the upper and lower part of the steering wheel. I didn't bother to do that on the 61 Plymouth I posted last week. I hope you like this one and thanks for looking. All comments and/or questions are welcome. -Rich
