Thank you Carl.
-
Great looking Charger, black with red trim always looks cool. well done.
-
Ve5ry well done split windows. I really like both of them, being a Corvette lover myself. I agree the weathering on the race version is very realistic.

Generally, it works better by mixing the dry pearl powder in your choice of clear coat. It can be mixed in paint but likely won't show very well.

Wow, hard to add anything that hasn't already been said about this Kustom. It's a stunning example of a beautiful vehicle, paint, striping, interior, all are exceptional.
-
That is so cool. Excellent imagination and execution.
-
Awesome work, great paint and details on the car, very well done figures.
-
As we used to say back in those days, "Far out, man". Love the psychedelic vibe. Very nicely done build.
-
Very nice looking stock type build. Excellent color choice, well done details. For some reason, I always liked those original hubcaps.
-
Very well done build. I like the subtle color you chose, but that engine is killer.
-
Stunning build, and the Mustang II concept is just as beautiful. Well done.

You deserve it. Thank you for that link.

What an awesome build. Beautiful choice of two tone color, the interior is exceptional. The steering wheel is beautiful and looks like real wood. Outstanding photography.

Thank you Garry. This one tried my patience for sure.
-
Keith and Chris, thank you both.
-
Gotta love a red Mopar, no matter the year or model line. Looks good in that color, mags looks good on it too, well done.
-
Very well done, all three builds. Mopar High Impact colors were so cool back then. They look good as a group.
-
Very well done build. Beautiful color, nice details.

Another issue of the Revell kit that I built and posted previously had the slightly lowered suspension, custom wheels and tires and contained body scripts, engine call-outs and body side stripes on the decal sheet. According to Scalemates, that issue was released in 2004 and was called California Wheels. That would be another version to try to find if possible.

This is the 1990 issue (new tooling at that time) 67 SS Chevelle in Bolero Red. Let me start off by offering a biased opinion. If you want a 67 Chevelle for your collection, do yourself a favor and get the Revell kit. It's infinitely better than this kit. Absolutely nothing fits right on this kit. Which is a shame because it has very good detail in most areas. The suspension, both front and back, assembles more like a 4x4 than an automobile. I actually assembled the entire chassis before I realized how high this thing sits. I had to tear apart all the suspension pieces, modify them as much as I could to get it where it is now. And it's still too high. I remember I cut down the coil springs in the rear, reversed the front spindles, and probably some other mods I don't recall. I partially built it about 10 years ago. It sat in it's box for a long time before I finally finished it last year. One can lose interest when a kit is this problematic. The kit had no decals at all, maybe a couple license plates and that's it. No body scripts, engine compartment decals, interior, nada. Later issues may have a better decal sheet but I can't verify that. The engine is a very nice rendition of a big block 396. It was airbrushed GM 1967 Bolero Red over light grey primer and Tamiya TS-13 Clear, then polished. I built it with a non standard tan interior. Ultimately it looks ok but the lack of body scripts takes away from it's appearance.

Well done Mustang, I like the wheels and tires a lot, very nicely done engine compartment.
