I’m currently working on this box stock build of the new Moebius/Model King kit. I’m building the “White Mule” version. This is a beautifully-designed and engineered kit. Highly recommended. I hope to wrap this build in the next few days. More build pics here: https://public.fotki.com/fivets/my_model_cars/1965-afx-plymouth-s/

Perfect! Great job. That grille looks SO much better than the kit piece.

Clean work, Art. Very nice!

Looking good!

I’m brainstorming/planning a Revell ‘56 Del Ray sedan gasser using a Revell ‘69 Camaro or ‘68 Corvette big block.

Thank you, all!

Does anyone have a lead on kit or aftermarket source for 1/25 396/427 Chevy fenderwell gasser headers? Thanks.

“Molded in the USA.” That explains the difference in the styrene, no? Salvinos JR NASCAR kits are American made and that styrene is very flexible also.

Thank you, Erik! This is very helpful.

In response to the original question posted - Yes, eBay is your best indication of current value on the Fujimi GT40 kits. I think the popularity/demand for these went WAY up after “Ford vs. Ferrari.” (I bought a Fujimi kit four years ago on eBay for $25 + domestic shipping.) It looks like you may have to pay the going price now. Good luck, I hope you and your son find one to build!

Thank you, everyone, for the interesting discussion, viewpoints, and images. I am going to go the route like the pictures provided: Painted wheelhouses, “carpeted” floor section, and “fiberboard” for the trunk panel/package shelf. I hope to achieve this by using varied shades of Tamiya acrylics. Thanks again!

Awesome build! Love the details and the overall authentic look.

Interesting. The Model King kit of the altered wheelbase car states that the early white car had a red interior.

Italeri tires look the part. I just measured the wheel opening in my 1/24 “Armed Pickup” (Toyota Land Cruiser) tire and it’s 17mm, or about 17” in 1/25.

Thanks! Great help. I’m going to go with a darker red carpet than the upholstery, like this factory stock version:

On the Golden Commandos white mule, is the rear interior floor carpeted? An internet search turned up nothing. Thanks.

Awesome job! Beautiful race car. Great photos too. Thumbs up!

Outstanding! It looks real with that backdrop. So nice. I was considering this kit as my next build. How does it build up? Any issues?

Here is the beautifully-engineered and molded Revell SSR in factory touch-up Pacific Blue. Cleared with Duplicolor and polished with cloths and Tamiya Finish compound. A fun build of a unique vehicle! Many more pictures here: https://public.fotki.com/FiveTs/my_model_cars/2006-chevy-ssr/ Thanks for looking.

Beautiful build! A proper phantom too - Looks like it came from the factory that way, and causes a double-take. I love the color choices.

NICE truck! Great job on a fiddly old kit.

Thanks, and yes it is.

Beautiful box top build! Love these big Fords.

Yes, the ‘71 and ‘72 grilles are different. Here is the picture I mentioned in my last post:
