Likewise with the Mustang. The latest Ford kits was Fusions and they are like the Chevy SS really good...but they disappeared from the market way too soon, partly because the Hobbico bankruptsy thing and the change of body styles. So unfortunately Revell "missed the boat" again with these kits as GM and Ford changed the body styles they have used for several years right after these full detail glue kits came out, the kits came out 2017 and GM changed to the Camaro body for the 2018 season and Ford to the Mustang body for the 2019 season. Revell only issued two Ford Fusions from this all new tooling, the #10 Danica Patrick and #4 Kevin Harvick cars and only one Chevy SS wich was the #24 Chase Elliott car.

Yes you have to be cautious with information like that...not everyone has seen the race...yet...over here these races are aired live but we in most of Europe are 6-9 hours ahead of you in the States depending on where the race is held, so the finish of this race was around 1.00 AM and a workday today. The earlier night races from Darlington and Charlotte started around 1.00 AM and finished around 6.00 AM so I usually record them and watch them later.

Well I ordered this Full Bumper Camaro from Jack at Model Roundup back in early February as he then had it as a February 2020 release, then the Covid19 thing came and everything was halted and a month later I ended up cancelling the order for the Camaro so I could get the other things I ordered. So I believe the Covid19 also has something to do with the 8 month delay.

That can maybe be the case...and the Covid19 pandemic has not helped either.

Very nice, I'm looking forward to see the result.

Yes you have to have the same style carbs as the car was availabe with in Stock and Super Stock eliminator. The Edelbrock Rat Roaster was at least legal in Super Super Stock 1970, Sox & Martin and Jack Werst had this intake on their SS/E-SS/EA Superbirds.

They are nice too. Zeger's stuff is made from mostly plastic stock and in 1:24th scale tho'

Here is an album from Clay Kemp...very nice build. https://public.fotki.com/ClayK/drag-racing-projects/ron_capps_05_brut/

Zeger Van Hattem must be the king of scratch building, I have been following his projects for quite some time now. Zeger's three latest projects. https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=50413&sid=c2259c06ded66fdfddf857cc9efffeb8 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=52147&sid=c2259c06ded66fdfddf857cc9efffeb8 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=50295&sid=c2259c06ded66fdfddf857cc9efffeb8 And some of his older...all impressive builds. https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=45270&sid=9d60776eae1012d9eec00b4bd331bf11 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=39654&sid=f940638d83cab076c86de85604b55022 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=38770&sid=4e624fb6ab0e9daeb3b6588a209097ec https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=36411&sid=4e624fb6ab0e9daeb3b6588a209097ec https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=38513&sid=4e624fb6ab0e9daeb3b6588a209097ec https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=27757&sid=9670dcbedaac74b8d888e22867201517 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=28825&sid=d3aa0ed21243c57993e18b95d8475ec5 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=30624&sid=d3aa0ed21243c57993e18b95d8475ec5 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=26592&sid=f7a348050d3910662f09e2f93c89e4ff This ones are not bad at all. https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=40048&sid=d0f5eec74a148517908d78bb739d9cb2 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=35401&sid=4e624fb6ab0e9daeb3b6588a209097ec https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=31573&sid=964d612a54d1d105d02bf984312a7392 https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=34879&sid=9670dcbedaac74b8d888e22867201517

Porsche even did a normally aspirated 7.2 litre flat-16 intended for Can-Am but it was never raced. Here is a picture of the car with the flat-16.

Looks good.

I was at Early Ford Store in San Dimas California one time and my friend asked Bill Mcgrath...the owner...if he had flathead intake manifolds for multiple carburetors...Bill pointed up high at one wall where he had several intake manifolds for two, three and four carburetors hanging and asked..."how much trouble do you want". Why so many...to get "the look". The restored (or if it's a recreation) Munsters Coach has eleven carburetors, five on each side and one in the middle the Ford Cobra engine runs on, the other ten are fake. The original TV show car on the other hand at least some of the ten Stromberg carbs looks to be functional as there are no carb in the middle and they sits closer together on top of the Ford engine. Even if you have several carburetors on the engine all doesn't have to work, a friend of mine bought a 32 Ford Tudor with a Chevy small block and a 3 X 2 Stromberg setup...but only the middle carb was working, the outer ones was blocked off and was just there for "the look".

Built as a turbo charged engine mostly means lower compression ratio and some other stuff...all internal and not visible from the outside, the tell tale could be the plenums on top and the placement of the injection pump if the turbos isn't there. It doesn't matter much...the 917 flat-12 engine is a gem in any case and the photos are great. With the turbos the engine looks something like this.

Well I did not see any turbos so that's why I reacted...a turbo engine should have a least one turbo don't they.

Nice photos...but it's a normally aspirated flat-12, no turbos.

Nice build. I have a real one...not in that color tho' as mine is in Chestnut Poly...and this old model kit has lots to desire when it comes to accuracy...it's not only the missing trunk letters but in several places like the interior wich is a XL but for a convertible, and some other things here and there.

Very nice, I like it.

Looks nice. But the hardware you have on the seat is for bolting the belts to the chassis, the part going in to the locking mechanism where the hole is has a longer narrow end...it's maybe too late to fix but now you know for the next build. I have been around racing harnesses a lot as I help as a crew man on my friends Super Comp Dragster, and we have had both the round style locking mechanism where you click in the belts into the lock, some has a lever to release and some has a knob you turn to release, and the latch style where you lock the belts with a hook.

Go to this link and you will see what's inside. https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truckkit_instructions/ertl/8001_international/ The 4270 is the only kit I know of with a Cummins V903, the 4300 got the IH V800

As you may know Revell has two different Peterbilt 359 kits in 1/25th scale. One was originally a Monogram tool and it's a lower detail level snap kit, Scalemates list it as new tool 1991 but I have it listed as NEW together with the KW W900 Aerodyne snap kit in the 1982 Monogram Catalog and there are actual pictures of both truck kits built in the 1983 catalog, both these are recently reissued. The other 1/25 359 was originally issued by Revell Germany and it's a full detail glue kit with a first release also in 1982 and it has been reissued in various forms since then and the last time was 2013.

I really like them old racing cars.

Look here.

Yes it looks to be the 427 high riser manifold, it's the tallest made from the factory.

I'm sorry if you got offended by my earlier comments, it was not my meaning at all...I tried to be helpful but it seems like it backfired this time.

I have no complain of the build itself, you did a nice job. I just reacted earlier because I used to own a Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe for many years and I know them very well inside and out. But these are model cars and the builder must have the priviledge to do what he want with it.
