Thanks Ron. I haven't started on the kit yet but I will be within the next few weeks. I haven't seen one posted here for a build (Motor City Resin) so I will post my pictures as I go along. I normally don't post many pictures as I build my kits but I think with the 66 Barracuda I will. Thanks again.

So true and that is why when I can I still use a rattle can.

Thanks Dave

I know I bought the Piranha kit and had a Hobby Lobby 40% discount coupon so that did help ease the price. I really wasn't interested in the kit but really wanted the tires. I would hope that AMT would do more releases of their special striped tires in a separate set.

After Ron Hamilton's recommendation I purchased the Piranha Super Spy Car for the Goodyear Blue Streak Tires and they fit perfectly thanks. Here is a picture of a wheel from the Motor City Resin 66 Barracuda Formula S kit with the tires.

Thanks again

Okay thanks everyone.

Beautiful model...

I am finishing up my 1968 Roadrunner kit within the week. (I hope) anyhow is there a thread on this sight on how to take good model car pictures? I really stink at it and I do have a couple good cameras. I am really bad with my phone. Anyhow before I do my Under Glass for my Roadrunner I was looking for some help.. Thanks

Looks good and that makes three of us working on 68 Roadrunners......

As you know on my post I am building one also. I am looking forward to your build and this is a great kit to get back into it again! It is a pretty good kit at not having to fiddle with much.

Nice builds

Looks very good.

The Lego VW camper is my grandson's and my project.... fun. He is seven.

I saw a 1:1 car online that looked good so I thought I would replicate it. The RR is going together pretty well and it has been a pretty fun build. I have kind of struggled with the paint with orange peel but I think my airbrush was laying the paint on too dry etc. I have spent a little bit of time sanding and sanding and sanding... Lol. When I finish it I will use a camera not my phone to take some pictures "Under Glass" thanks everyone.

I also need to spend a little more time on sharpening up the bare metal foil.

Nice job. The Johan body is so nice and accurate.

I am hoping to get my 68 Roadrunner wrapped up this week. I have added Keith Mark's decals for the rear panel and blacked out the hood. I am experimenting with a 1/64" tape stripe and I have added rocker moldings to the car. I am pretty close to finishing. The paint is MCW Avocado green. I am done with the grill but not totally happy with it and that is probably the weakest part of the kit in my opinion. I have basically drilled out most of the headlights and added lenses from an AMT 71 Charger kit. It looks better but I am not exactly thrilled with it. Anyhow I hope to wrap it up in the next week depending on my work schedule.

That is so true. I can hear me now. Yes honey I need to spend 200+ dollars on a model kit. That works well for me......

Nice build. I love the 67 GTX

Yeah it is 1/6. It is probably the nicest CB750 kit though.

The Tamiya kit is way nice but way expensive.....

Thanks for the photos. I don't have to now and you are taking much better pictures than me.

Well to answer my own question I just found Tim Boyd's write up and review of that kit and those tires that come with the kit are exactly what I am looking for. Thanks Ron for the tip and thanks Tim for the interesting write up on the Piranha Spy Car.

Ron is this the AMT reissued kit? http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/piranha-spy-car
