I'd be all over one of these. I missed the Model King release when it was out, and been kicking myself since. Gerald, your Chrisman Comet looks awesome.

Cool! There's a blast from the past. One of my favourite kits when I was young. I'll have to pick one up, especially, as Snake says, if it comes with 'those' wheels.

Man, that roll bar looks like a concussion waiting to happen. Nice looking Deuce, and great save of your old build.

A sheet of acetate and templates are provided for all glass. The inside of the window frames are nicely engineered to facilitate installation. The kit includes the rear portion of the interior with a hinged back seat, door cards, and a set of sport mirrors, and PE badges, including V8 badges and wheel centres. There are some options also, such as a C bonnet and a left drive dash, and a variety of wheels. There’s also a Sebring version available. A lot of work went into the kit, and it shows. Great guy to deal with, too. Highly recommended.

Cheers Robert. Thanks for the comments. Good luck with the piping. The paint is Humbrol enamel #47, not sure of the name. I thinned it with lacquer thinner, took weeks in the dehydrator to dry. After two weeks it still had a strong solvent smell, but felt dry so I commenced colour sanding anyway. On the boot lid I sanded through the dry skin to wet paint. Couldn’t believe it. Back in the dehydrator for another week. That cured it, and it polished up nicely. I think the initial colour sanding helps with the final out gassing.

Yeah, clearly some success there. A few more hours.

It does look a bit like zinc chromate. My go-to for difficult to remove paint/primer is brake fluid, though I have never tried to remove zinc chromate. As you may know, zinc chromate is highly toxic. If you intend to sand off the stuff, don't breath in the dust, and you really shouldn't get it on your skin, either. Not sure of the toxicity of the dust relative a sprayed mist, but I would definitely treat the dust as toxic. If this stuff is zinc chromate, I would wear a respirator if doing any sanding, or at the least, do any sanding wet..

Very cool project, Kurt. Just found this thread. Sure is a lot of work, but coming along great. That resin body sure looks like a chore to work with. You have it sitting nicely on the chassis. Impressive stuff.

Yeah, I'm liking everything about this. That big Ardun is looking sweet. Love the wheel/tire combo, too.

Nice, clean work on the three-window, Ryan. The colour and the full-fenders make a great combination. Well done. .

Nice work, Mario. One of my favourite 50s Chevys, and they always look great in white.

Excellent built. What an insane little machine. Nice, clean work, very interesting project. Love it!

Nice work, Conrad. It's a great start. Jumping back in after all that time, the learning curve will be steep. Each build is just practice for the next one. Well done.

Very nice work, Claude. I wasn't sure at first, but I really like the lines on this one. Excellent execution. Well done.

Looking good, John. The engine really looks spot on.

Stellar work. Very impressive. I'm watching this build, for sure.

Good looking funny. Such a great era for drag racing. Nicely done. Is the clear red an acrylic or lacquer?

Cool Stude, and nice replication of the old kit. That green is a wicked shade, works perfect with this build. Nicely done.

Good progress. The colour looks right on, and the bumpers look great.

A cool old project. I like the back end treatment.

C1 Models makes the GT transkit, in both MGB and MGC flavours. I have one, and though not built yet, it is very well done. A few of them have been done on the forum, and always with rave reviews.

Wow, That's impressive. Close-up and intimate photos could still pass for the real thing. Excellent work.

Wow, that looks fantastic! What a beautiful model. It must be very impressive to behold in person.

Many thanks guys, for the very kind comments. It's very nice to get some positive feedback. Cheers Noel, thanks for the kind words. This is the same tooling as used by Aoshima. I always thought it was an Airfix tool, used by Aoshima, probably because I knew of the Airfix kit first. I really don't know with whom the tooling originated.

I'm digging the wagon. Nice conversion.
