That's the best build of the kit I've ever seen...beautifully done !!!

Christian, Thanks for the great review !!!

Folks, Might be a good way to get some "oldies" back in the hobby or recruit "newbies" ? Sort of instant gratification kits if you know what I mean ...

Unbelievably intricate paint and wonderful detailing !!!

Beautiful, looks like a 1:1 midget in the garage scene !!!

Great job, captures the look of the era to perfection !!!!

Great job, it definitely has that '60s vibe !!!

Very nice, looks like a 1:1 car !!!!

Great build, I really like the look of these customs...

John, Very nice build, and a great idea for creating the stacks !!!

Fellas, Some other builds to ponder from the pages of the past...the '40 Fords were always a favorite !

Pharoah, Yea, I still get a kick out of looking them over 50 years after they were printed. What's kind of strange is that this magazine has no mention whatsoever of the three cars on the upper portion of the cover, that's why asked the members here for their expertise ! In fact, I can't recall seeing any of those build ups anywhere else in those old magazines.

Froghawk, Thank you for identifying the engine in the car and for I.D.ing the hubcaps...I'd like to try to build a clone of the car.

Beautiful, looks like a 1:1 car !!!

Gentlemen, Both of you have confirmed my belief of the model in question, thank you very much for your responses !!!

Fellas, I need the opinions of some of the modelers on the board here on a magazine cover from "back in the day"...I believe I know which kits are represented by TWO of the top three models on the cover. Those being the black '32 FORD Coupe by AMT and the "Green Hornet" (with the red engine block) on the bottom of the stack. I'm pretty sure I recognize which kit was used as a basis for the model on the top of the heap painted a candy red color, but I'd like some confirmation. Click the pic please... Thanks,

Very nice build, looks like a real car !!!

Beautiful build, great detail and color choice, a real winner !...wish they'd start building these again in 1:1 scale !!!

Fellas, I just found this thread...what a really great conversion and a super job of detailing !!!!

I had one also , in grey plastic like the one on the bay...also had the sedan in a light blue plastic. Here's a pic of an old instruction sheet from the coupe check out the part that states: Assembly and Disassembly ...

Very nice, lots of detail to look at...great job !!!

Fellas, You guys are going to laugh but, Monograms OLD midget kit PC- something or other back in the early 1960's. When I got it home and took off the cellophane, opened the box...NO CHROME !!! I remember well because I have the newest issue of the kit (still unbuilt) in the shop and every time I look at it I get disappointed all over again because of the lack of shinny parts !!! :rolleyes:

Tim, Super nice build of the yellow Cougar above and the orange Cougar a few pages back by Tim Harrison is also very well done !!!

Andy, Thanks for the heads up !!!

Super job, looks like the cars in the "little pages " from back in the day !!! :D
