  1. Thanks guys. Took some better pics in the daylight. I am debating pulling off the wheels and redoing them in Gold. Thoughts?
  2. This was another in-between projects one that I whipped together quick. My intent was to build a stock turbo S originally, so that is why you don’t see the carbon fiber and the big wing on the back. Pretty simplistic kit with no engine, but lots of body panels. Paint is just a cheap quick, rustoleum spray, lol.
  3. Does anyone know about when this might be out? Looks like it’s far enough into development that it’s almost a complete product. Would really like to build one of these!
  4. That Lambo is cool and unexpected. Any release date on that?

    Thanks again everyone! Also, I just wanted to clarify that this is “colormaxx” Krylon. It is sold at Hobby Lobby. I have great success with this. I have NOT had great success with the Krylon found at Walmart, etc. I hope this helps.
  6. 1/24. It is the old Monogram kit:

    Thanks again guys! I might break some hearts here, but this is what I used for the finish, both the White and the Black on the tops. It went on really well and rubbed out perfectly. No primer, no clear! 🤯 It was way different than my normal process since it was something I just wanted to whip together quickly.

    Did this in between commissioned builds. It is nostalgic for me as I remember building this back when i was a kid and the kit was an annual kit. It is the snapper kit, so not much under the hood. I kinda just threw this one together quick.
  10. Thanks Tim. Is it just me, or are those 10 spokes out of scale/disproportionate?
  11. That looks like a nice build. They said it is a new body. Are the wheels new too?
  12. Thank Superdan! Unfortunately I can’t find a kit of that car. There is the GT3 kit, but that will take some work. Thanks for finding them though.
  13. I saw this at the dealer today. I don’t think I have seen these wheels before. Does anyone know if they are available in scale? I am thinking about building a 911, and thought these would be something different.
  14. I really like the old Monogram based 3rd gen kits. Here is mine built about 15 years ago or so. It builds up to a very convincing replica.
  15. When?! This one makes me so nostalgic. Looking forward to seeing it again.
  16. Wait I missed that one? It was released in 2004 as well?
  17. I just thought I would share this gem with everyone here. IIRC I bought this at Kranzel‘s hobbies in Pennsylvania. I vaguely remember the guy saying there’s a new magazine out you gotta get and pointed to it. It is in cherry shape. I have many, many others, but didn’t realize I had the very first issue. I found it while getting ready to move to a new location and packing my stuff.
  18. Ugg. I hope so! Otherwise, then why did I do this?
  19. Whoa. I missed this! Anyone have links to the test shots?
  20. This is great! Looks like they have the “77/‘78 hood stripe in there too!
  21. Thanks guys! This kit IMO is very underrated and was rewarding to build!
  22. Great job Christian!
  23. Those of you who have this kit, are the new Atlantis tires bigger than the originals from Revell? They always looked a little small to me.
  24. Have we seen any indications on what is happening with the decals in this kit? I am really interested to see what options we have this time around.
