  1. Has it really been that long since I worked on this? Back on this one soon as well as the 56 300 from Moebius
  2. Thanks guys. And as far as the paint goes, that is straight out of the can, no polishing. Couldn't be happier with the paint results out of the can.
  3. Just finished up my first for 2016 that actually started back in 2015. Must say this is a very nice kit. Moebius has hit the ball out of the park with there automotive offerings. Went together great. Not fitment issues. Moebius kit #1215 Paint - Body - Tamiya White Primer, Tamiya TS-49 Bright Red and Model Master High Gloss lacquer clear. Interior - Model Master lacquer Italian Red and Flame Red with Tamiya Semi-Gloss Clear Wheels and Tires - Revel 1932 Ford Torqs with AMT Parts Pack Redlines Let me know what ya' ll think.
  4. She's finished up other than the final clean up. Will posting pictures in "Under Glass" soon.
  5. Thanks for the comments. Plan on finishing this week since work is a little slow right now.
  6. Nope just sprayed the Red and Clear straight out of the can.
  7. Started final assembly today. Had to see what it looked like with tire and wheel choice. Love the love it has. Wheels are Revell 1932 Ford Torqs with spokes painted Testors Jet Exhaust. Tires are AMT Redlines.
  8. Best source for info on Altered Wheelbase Mopars. http://www.amazon.com/Plymouth-Altered-Wheelbase-Hardtops-Authenticity/dp/B00U2UU8G4/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452178254&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=1965+altred+wheelbase Best source for 1965 Mopar Super Stock http://www.supercar1.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=3639 Best source for 1964 Mopar Super Stock http://www.supercar1.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=3934
  9. Just went ahead and took a few minutes to snap a few quick pictures of progress. Just used Testors Tropical Turquoise on engine, wasn't sure what to really use but I thought it looked close.
  10. Making some progress finally. Hope to have some updated pics soon.
  11. Use the dual overhead cam 426 out of the 70 Superbee that the hi-rise intake came from for something different.
  12. What would be the appropriate primer color for the underside of the floor pans? The instructions show red but is that because of the Red body color or did Pontiac use the RedOxide primer?
  13. Sean Svendsen has photos on his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/svensworldofwheels/timeline of pictures of the prototype model. Have to say it looks awesome. Can not wait to get my hands on this.
  14. Got my first one in the mail and have to say that it appears to be a great kit. I knew what I was going to do with mine before I got it. Ronnie Sox drove one back in 1961 and it's a beautiful looking car. http://myfox8.com/2013/11/08/rare-61-pontiac-at-greensboro-auction-has-local-ties/
  15. By the way Great Looking Model. Have been collecting items to do this build myself.
  16. Here's a picture from Facebook page "Dandy Dick Landy - Tribute to A Legend" that claims it's from 1974 Gatornationals. I guess the best thingto do would be to ask Robert Landy to see what he knows. Also Geoff Stunkard is working on a book titled "Landy's Dodges" that should be available in 2016 that should have info about this car one way or another.
  17. Thanks guys. The paint job isn't to bad for not being polished out
  18. Here is the start of my 65 Satellite kit. Tamiya White Primer, Tamita TS-49 Bright Red and Model Master High Gloss lacquer clear. Interior is Model Master lacquer Italian Red and Flame Red with Tamiya Semi-Gloss Clear on the trim panels and Testors dullcote on carpet.
  19. Been busy with work and 2 kids under 5. Not much progress at this time. Also got a little sidetracked with the new Moebius 65 Satelitte kit.
  20. Seen where a Chevy SS will be out next year if all goes well with Fords. So maybe a Toyota will follow especially if Kyle wins the championship after missing the first 11 races.
  21. I believe the funnel piece is molded in black plastic and the blue body is molded blue with red, yellow and black accents printed on. You should be able to take it apart carefully and detail paint it the way you want and put it back together with little to no problems. Good luck with your/sons trains. Keep us posted.
  22. Got 2 yesterday. Can not wait to get to building them. I see a lot more of them in my future. Thank you Moebius.
  23. Looking good
  24. PM was sent. Hope you get it.
  25. Jim, Just tried sending a pm to you but it said you can not receive message.?
