I was born in '70 and started with snap kits around 1976 and glue kits in 1978. This is definitely a golden age, compared to then, IMHO...the wide availability of new tooling and reissues, online point-and-click ordering, lots of aftermarket parts, easy availability of imported kits online, ebay for old kits, etc...

Yes, that's it..I have all four also..lots of paint chips..

Speaking of Galant Ramda, I have a 1:64th scale Matchbox diecast of this from childhood..IIRC, the packaging listed it as a Dodge Challenger, but the base says 'Mitsubishi Galant Eterna'.

That's cool..I wouldn't mind having one of those...I remember the 1:1, always liked the roofline. It would be fun to do one as a phantom '78 Challenger R/T with Volare wheels and a 360 V8...

PSF Resin makes a nice '70 Monte cowl induction hood. I got it off ebaY last month. I have some old NASCAR-style wheels in my parts box, I plan to do one in a similar manner to the movie car...

I hope Revell does a kit of Challenger. I've seen the prototype at a car show, it looks great in person.. I'm looking forward to seeing the production version in 1:1 eventually. The original Challenger is probably my favorite vintage Mopar--saw a nice dark blue '70 R/T drive by my office a couple hours ago when I went to lunch (it really stood out amongst the usual SUV/Camry/Accord/BMW/Audi traffic around here).

Me too, I especially like the rear view..though I really don't like the front end (the overhanging thingy below the grille).

The new Car and Driver has an article on the building of this car..pretty interesting story...built for an NYC financial whiz, basically used the last unsold Enzo (from a Beverly Hills Ferrari dealer) plus $4mil to build...

Lots of familiar names here from 'there'. I like the GTO and Camaro, Dan..what are the wheels on the Camaro?

I'm from "there" also, been a regular the last 6 years..just starting here...also a lurker on AF and the SA board... I'll still hang out "there" but likely post less..
