  1. Nice. Looks good in black. I had the same issue with the hood on the two I've built.
  2. Great color choice by your wife and very nice custom work you've done.
  3. Like the others said, very nice builds. The blue on the 36 Ford is stunning, very vibrant color.
  4. Fascinating work John. I'm amazed how much you've done in a only a few days. I'm old enough to remember reading the original article on this model back in 1965.
  5. I like it, very cool build.
  6. Great build, very cool interpretation of a classic car. That Royal Blue with Tan interior looks perfect.
  7. I love that color. Very nice build.
  8. Very nice build Bruce. I think you achieved the understated color you were looking for and I like the white walls too.
  9. Great story. I truly enjoyed reading this.
  10. I love these stories about the "old" days of our hobby. Fascinating reading, thanks for sharing.
  11. Odd that yesterday when I posted my response, only the first picture of the box showed up. The other two photos weren't showing. Body molding looks pretty good though, thanks for posting these images.
  12. Wouldn't that be cool if they actually reissued these. I imagine they're fairly simple kits, although I've never actually seen the contents of one of these kits. I ordered a brand new 1975 Chevy Nova SS 350 (same basic car) way back then. First new car I ever owned.
  13. 91% alcohol should strip the paint after soaking for 24 hours. I stripped one exactly like this recently. 91% alcohol can be found at your local pharmacy, Wal Mart, even grocery stores. Regular rubbing alcohol, which is only 50 to 70% alcohol (depending on brand) won't strip the paint. Place the body in a container large enough to permit filling with 91% alcohol that completely covers the body. A container with a lid is best, but you can cover it with plastic wrap if you don't have a lid for it.
  14. Nothing like a clean lead sled. Very nice build, love the color.
  15. I love a great looking lead sled. Very. Well done.
  16. Very nice progress. I love that Blue, good color choice. Is it lacquer or acrylic enamel?
  17. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of this kit / promo as well, and I believe your right about the C6. I don't recall it took this long for it to be released. I happened to see my first 2014 Stingray this past week. It looks so much better in person. And sounds incredible.
  18. Len, I believe GM asked for some unspecified changes to the promos and snap kits, which is likely the reason for the release dates changing regularly.
  19. Very cool stuff, John, thanks for sharing.
  20. Odd thing I discovered about my Challenger kit. It has the chassis for the Camaro included instead of the correct Challenger chassis. I emailed Revell and it was confirmed my kit received the wrong chassis by mistake. Al Klockowski from Revell was very helpful and provided a means for me to obtain a replacement correct chassis at no charge. Only trouble, their parts replacement service doesn't yet have any spare parts in stock for these kits. Reckon I'll have to be patient until spare parts for these kits are stocked.
  21. Scott, they are doing both the roadster promo as a 2015 in Velocity Yellow with black interior and the coupe promo as a 2014 in Laguna Blue with black interior.
  22. Scott, I checked with my dealer today, and I've been informed the promos have slipped again to the end of Dec. Apparently, GM asked for some unspecified additional changes.
  23. Very nicely done, I always liked that movie. Very sharp.
  24. Last I read the snap 2014 kit was due in Dec. 2014 sometime. But then, lots of issues could come up to push them back, so it's not unusual for release dates to slip. I like the way this looks, I'm enjoying these simplified pre painted kits from Revell. They'll make nice shelf models.
