Like it? No. Love it? YES! The driver and the tail gunner look a bit ill, though!

I like it- kind of makes me think of an updated Festiva with a box van body.

I like the rollbar AND the boot- I'd say make them both removable so you could display it either way. And yeah- I just used the 'oblong' tire mounting hole trick on a project I just finished- it was that or have the right front tire about three scale inches up in the air.

Toying around with the Matador today, wondering about slapping twin turbos on that Viper V10. I figure it's not going to clear the stock hood anyway, so why not?

Dusenberg? Looks like the '32 Chrysler engine to me. (I KNOW that's where that grille came from. ) But whatever the case, I love it. A Chevy powered by ANYTHING but a Chevy engine is cool to me.

Yep, Tom's still doing his thing, but he no longer produces this particular kit.

Turns out mine has quite a few warped parts, but nothing I can't work around.

Look! A silver one-

Andy- you forgot your own Center Door T transkit! There is also the chopped Jimmy Flintstone version.

Megadeth- Symphony of Destruction. Pretty much fits in with whatever I'm doing at the workbench at any given moment.

Oh.... you don't wanna get me started on '57 Chevys!!! (Not that I like the car or know a lot about the kits... just the opposite in fact. )

Sweet!

Just what I need.... ANOTHER 1:16 kit to buy!

And let us not forget that 90% of Testors paint line is, well, basically useless.

I rarely bother with Testors spray cans anymore- if I want a rattle can, I can get the big cans of Duplicolor for only about a buck and a half more than Testors in my area.

FINALLY got a COPO Nova.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right. Really just getting into building Fox body models- I have to say one of my favorite things about this thread (besides all the cool projects) is all the information about the particular kits!

Isn't the Turbo Cobra kit (the one recently reissued as a 'Motorworks' release and molded in red) a tweaked McLaren? I've heard that it was, but I've also heard it was based on a Capri.

Sir, you are a manlier man than I!

Should be- as far as I know, the only later model Jeepsters and Commandos were the MPC kits- which were later updated to the 'Bullnose' version reissued by Stevens International a few years back. Aside from the changes to convert the original second-gen to the Bullnose (which pretty much ended with the body) the chassis in all of those kits were the same.

Glad to see someone bring this one to life- guess I'll have to do the Allison-powered Lake car now!

I think the '08 Bullitt had HIDs as well, but the kit still had the standard reflectors. Probably not a big issue, as the HID piece would have been about 1mm square. Well, maybe 1mm wide 1.5 mm high.

Just spray the spoiler and scoop in black primer!

Interior isn't finished yet- need to find some blankets to toss over the seats.

I never log off this site either, but when I shut down, when I come back I have to sign back in. I use IE, but I don't use IE to remember my passwords, so I have to log back in manually every time.
