That's coming along very nicely.

That's a wild machine! Very cool body. What's going on with that black box with the coloured wires?

Trials and tribulations. It's all looking good though. Nice score of kits there. Hope to see the GTO on the bench someday.

Stunning build. That is one beautiful little Porsche. So clean. Wonderful craftsmanship.

Beautiful Charger. A fitting tribute to a rare model, and to your home town. The '68 looks great in orange. Very nice work.

Just picked up these kits. The Porsche, because I've wanted one since its release. The Demon, because I was feeling left out.

My personal favourite is the MPC kit, probably because I built a few of them in my younger days. Most are probably going to recommend the Monogram, and based on your requirements I will too. I've not built the Monogram kit, but I'm told it builds well right of the box. The MPCs take a bit of tweaking to get everything looking right, but they do look good. If the Revell kit is the one I think it is, avoid it. It's a weak kit. I'm not up on the availability of any of these kits, don't know how hard to find or expensive they might be.

In the absence of specific knowledge of the colours, it might be worth looking to see if details of Pepsi's corporate colours are defined anywhere.

Despite the troubles, the build is coming along great. It's going to be one beautiful Ferrari.

Yup, that's exactly what you do. It is referred to as 'doing a mock-up' and as Steve eluded, it is pretty much necessary to ensure you find and sort fit issues before paint, etc. The first thing I do after dumping the parts out onto the bench is mock it up to check for any problems and warped parts. I build it up enough to get the wheels on and check the stance and note any corrections needed. Numerous mock-ups will be done throughout the build to check for any arising issues. This includes mocking up sub-assemblies such as the engine , interior, etc, to check fit before painting. Most kits will have some sort of fit issue somewhere, often significant, that needs to be sorted before paint. Mocking up is especially important if you are making any modifications from the original kit, swapping parts, or using any aftermarket parts, etc.

Outstanding! I think you have captured the neglected look beautifully. Nice work.

Nailed it! What a fun project. Looks great.

Impressive, as always. I love checking out your work. Beautiful stuff, and very interesting truck. Cheers.

Nice save! Good looking wagon.

Clearly there is an error somewhere. Can you post a photo of the decal sheet. I'm wondering if there are wedge shaped carbon fibre decals that may be for the diffusers.

Interesting that the sheet has decals advertising both Mopar parts and Chevy parts.

Huge thanks for all your hard work. Very much appreciated. Cheers.

Nice looking old Ford. The colour suits it perfectly. Nice work.

Wow! That is one cool Chevy. Nice work, Terry. I really like this build.

Good looking El Camino. I dig that colour.

Cool custom Vette.

Very sharp looking Oldsmobile. Nice work.

Beautiful old Ford, Richard. Very nice.

Very well done! Huge thanks to Dave & team. I know this has been a hard win. Your efforts are appreciated. Cheers all.

A lovely vintage racer, and M. Benoist is looking pretty nifty in the cockpit.
