As soon as I decide which stuff I 'need' as opposed to what I merely 'want'...

Great. Another innovation from Kevorkian Recreational Products... Does look like fun, though!

This is the old 1981-era Monogram kit, you know, the one that was a collosal failure and hasn't been reissued? Yep, that one. This one is mostly box stock. I did hack off the roof, and replace the rear door with a tailgate. I also took the spare off the hood (which I always thoght looked kind of stupid), and moved it to that tailgate. The whole thing is hosed off in olive drab, and features a black "Rhino Lined" interior. Not too shabby for a six-hour build, I guess!

What Adam said, Joe... it looks way, WAY better on the rocket bird than the squarebird!

I don't mind if others post pictures of their models on my threads, but I usually won't do it myself unless it's asked for, or if my model has absolutely no chance of outshining the original poster's model, which is likely.

Glad to know I'm not the only sick and twisted guy on here. I've wanted to do a 1:1 Twin H powered hot rod for years, but now that this kit is coming, I can do it in 1:25, at least! I'd have to guess this would be a great donor kit for the old Hendrix and R&R Hudson kits, too! At least one of 'em will end up something like this...

What Mark said- Steve won't sugar coat it- he'll tell you exactly what's what with everything he carries. I've bought almost all my R&R stuff from him- never once was something made out to be better than it actually is!

I'd say if you can find a casting that's ten or more years old, go for it. Ray was still doing some fairly good casting. THe new stuff is... well... to call it rough would be heaping too much praise on it.

I saw this in Hot Rod Deluxe a while back, and I thought "Somebody (more skilled than me) needs to build a model of it!" John will do it proud!

I saw this one go together on your Fotki page, and I still love it!

Guess I can't help there!

I don't have too many of them, but here's what I've got-

Says who?

Well, Brian, the hardest part is picking a personal favorite! I'd love to have any one of 'em on my shelf, but I do say I have a soft spot for the very first one you posted, the early third-gen Bronco.

That's why you were looking for the '61 T-Bird kit! I KNEW IT!!!! I'll be watching this one.

I can't believe how good it looks, from every angle. It even looks impressive in 'test shot' mode! I knew all along I'd buy this kit, even if it were awful. I'm glad to see that it's a long way from awful!

I think it is separate- it's nowhere to be found in the low angle pics for which Chuck posted the link, and the Hudson's 'armored car' windscreen is in full view.

I took it easy today- I bought a Revell '37 Ford Pickup kit and Kenworth W900, and ordered a Jimmy Flinstone Bubbletop '62 Catalina body from STAR Models.

The windows are my biggest gripe thus far- the other problems may well be a figment of the imagination, mine or someone else's. If the final kit does still have issues with the widow shape, I think I'll just whack off the roof and put on a padded Carson top. That'll fix it!

Proof positive that even a basic "Kid" snap-kit can look cool when somebody takes the time to do it up right!

Love watching this one progress, Mike!

I've dealt with Norm Veber in the past, and will gladly order from him again and reccomend his products to anybody, but I'm just wondering if there are any online shops who carry his products. I've found a few who carry his Ferrari stuff, but nothing else. I'm planning to purchase the louvered '62 Pontiac hood, among other items.

And this still is a test shot after all, so there's still a chance of them catching any issues with it. Will they catch ALL the issues with it? I doubt it. I do know I'll be plunking down my twenty five bucks for one when they hit the shelves,though I do confess that perhaps the 1:1 subject is clouding my judgement just a little!

I don't have the '10, but the '08 is similar aside from the wheels and decal sheet. It's a pretty decent kit, though the way they did the front chin spoiler kind of baffles me! http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/kit-contents/amt/amt-08-dodge-challenger/
