Keith Marks' '71 Super Bee Set has the Super Bee markings you need. The MCG set will do a nice R/T, S/E, or Base Charger.

You can park that one next to a glue-bomb and it will still be stunning.

That one got my blood boiling!!!!

Beautiful Model. That one brings back memories. Our local C-P dealer sold Sunbeams. I used to go down there after school to look at the various goodies on the showroom floor, and yes, they had a Tiger on display most of the time.

Well allrighty there!!!!!

That is some beautiful work.

Very Nice!!!!!

Very nice!!!!

No. The only '57 Ford kit with the complete supercharger is the Fireball Roberts' Stocker.

I built this one from the 1966 Annual, which was the only time it was issued with the convertible body. The orignal tooling was changed into the Sonny and Cher Mustang kits. The Hardtop kits were modified from the promo tooling.

Owwwww!!!!!!!

You do nice work.

$160.00 for an unbuilt '66 Dodge Monaco on Ebay. Funny, I never built it, and sold it and broke even. I have a lot of models, but I am not going that high in price again.

Uh Huh!!!!!

Delicious!

Excellent!!!!!!

That is my absolute favorite car. Beautiful!!!!! Breathtaking!!!!!

If I were to do one, I would use a MPC 1/20 scale as a guide, shrink it to 1/25 scale, and work from there.

Replicas and Miniatures Co. of MD does a nice Goodyear Custom Power Cushion Polyglas tire from the original '70's AMT as well as the MPC kits, as well as the Firestone Wide Ovals that were used in some AMT and Lindberg kits. They are in Hard Black resin, with separate inserts for the stripes in white, and red. I used the MPC whitewalls on this build. I used the AMT Firestone Wide Ovals on this build.

Excellent!!!!

I like the way that one came out!!!!!

Excellent!!!!! That one would bookend my '71 Charger build.

I really like this thread. Personally, I've gone back to crawling, as I am having a hard time finishing anything. Though over 50 years of model building, I have seen models of all levels, from the worst whole tube of glue build, to the most exquisite detailed model that can, and did win "Best of Show" at the contests and NNL's it was entered. Taking my time, I cannot compete with the "greats" out there, but I am having a pretty good time. One thing I do is ask questions. The best builders out there, for the most part, will be happy to share their techniques on how to do a better model. At a show where I was a judge, I sat at a table preparing a model to paint it. It must have been a show, as I got quite a few questions, as to what I was doing, and why was I doing it? In explaining what I was doing (removing mould lines, filling sink marks, correcting casting flaws, and adding body separation lines) I simply said "look at the real car, and replicae that on your model". Anytime someone asks how I did something on a particular model, I do my best to answer the question. At one of our club meetings (M.A.M.A.), I brought a model that I built about 20 years ago, and started to "refresh" it, as it was falling apart, with grainy paint, and some missing trim. I cleaned and rubbed it out at the meeting, and brought the refreshed model to the next meeting. I got a lot of positive feedback on the model. I have yet to photograph the finished model, but it came out pretty nice. All I can say is "If you are lacking certain skills, ask someone whose work you admire how they would approach certain aspects of modeling" You may be surprised that they will be happy to help one improve their skills, and some day, that same person may show the old dog some new tricks.

Clint would be proud.

Very nice!!!!
