Beautiful build. I love the colour. Top notch.👍🏻

Oh yeah, that’s got the look. Sinister, cool. Top stuff. 👍🏻

G’day Craig, beautiful 442. That Sienna brown sure is a great looking colour. All round, a top notch finish. 👍🏻

G’day Mario, beautiful build. The metallic green with white stripes and interior is quite striking. I admire the detail on your wheels, I found them too hard to get right on my 442. Well done. 👍🏻

Awesome looking vette there, certainly a worthy winner. Top job. 👍🏻

Sweet looking Chevy Malibu. The metallic maroon with red interior is a nice looking combo. I like yours better than the box art version! Top stuff. 👍🏻

That’s a really sharp looking Barracuda there. The first pic with the figurine looks like one of those publicity photos of the time, with the young girl showing off the features of the vehicle. Well done. 👍🏻

Love the weathering on this one, looks like it’s been beating around the desert.👍🏻

G’day David, thanks for the kind comments on the Olds. Haven’t seen any builds from you on the forum lately, hope to see one soon. 👍🏻

Thanks Curtis. Sounds like your Dad had some very nice fringe benefits with the job!

G’day Bob, very nice looking Ford there. That paint came up nice and glassy. That big block is a tight squeeze, but looks good. Top stuff. 👍🏻

G’day Donald, I’m late to the party with this one but I like what you’ve done thus far. I love VW buses and I have this one in the stash but the multi piece body has put me off a bit , looks like you’ve got around that detail nicely. Hopefully I can pick up some tips for when I tackle my Samba bus. Cheers , Stuart.👍🏻

That is a really nicely built flareside. I like how you have removed the side trim, as a base level truck with a 6 cylinder probably wouldn’t have had any. I have this one in the stash and will build it similar to yours. Top notch.👍🏻

G’day Steve, several of the DDA kits have a standard 308, the non modified HQ Monaro GTS and Torana A9X do. It’s an okay representation but as the kits have a baseplate as opposed to a detailed chassis, the sump is not right. Hope this helps. 👍🏻

That captures the old school look nicely, notice she’s running a Desoto Firedome engine. Cool rod. 👍🏻

Beaut build Michelle, I’d forgotten that Ramblers were assembled in Australia for a while. These Aussie Javelins were pretty rare as they were pretty expensive compared to a Monaro, so for that reason few were sold. Nice work. 👍🏻

It’s a red 57 with SS Cragars, what’s not to like! Beautiful build, really like the engine detail with the dual carbs. 👍🏻

Sweet looking Shelby there. Bummer regarding the stripe decals, although I’m lead to believe that the stripes were optional on the 67 model, they applied them at the dealership if you wanted them. I’m happy to be corrected if wrong. Hope your granddaughter enjoys building hers. 👍🏻

G’day Luke, I noticed the date of the original post and I see you have been laying down glass like black finishes for some time. I reckon l could comb my hair ( assuming I still had some left ) in the reflection! Oh, by the way, that is a tuff looking Chevelle. 👍🏻

Beautiful work on this Vette, the colour looks superb. I have this in the stash but wasn’t aware of under hood fit issues. Cheers for the heads up. 👍🏻

Thank you everyone for your kind words on the Olds. Apart from my botched attempt at painting it first up which resulted in a dip in the isopropyl alcohol bath, it was a very satisfying build. I’m really happy with how it turned out, I think being involved with the forum has helped me with pushing myself to try new things with model building. Cheers, Stuart. 👍🏻

Mate, I’m envious. Would have been an awesome feeling driving out of the dealership when you picked it up. 👍🏻

That is one sweet looking Mustang. Top stuff. 👍🏻

Hey Michelle, I like this, but, I don’t think it would stand up to the jumps the Duke boys did in the 69 General Lee. Seriously though, nice work. 👍🏻

My sister gave me this kit as a gift. She knew I liked US muscle cars. Mustangs and Camaros are pretty common here in Australia, not so much Oldsmobile 442’s. I loved the look of the Olds, but I didn’t know much about them. I did a lot of research on them in conjunction with building this kit and I came away a big fan of this car, if l win the lottery, I’d like to have a pristine example shipped down here to Australia for me, but while I wait for that highly unlikely event, I have this 1/25 version. As usual with anything I post, any comments are welcome, the good , the bad and the ugly. Thanks for looking. 👍🏻
