  3. Love it! Cant wait Here are some pre production shots. Maker is one of my favorites in diecast First Gear. Also these are in 1/25 scale!!
  4. this trans kit looks very tempting might need this!!! bandit resins
  5. What a great concept looks like that Safari wagon was made from grafting the chevelle wagon onto the pontiac body. Often times forget the GM intermediates shared many similarities
  6. Also any photos of these 1965 GTO's with the better parts?
  7. Oh that history lesson is fantastic. I love a challenge!
  8. I recently gotten an older release of an AMT 65 GTO. The 1986 brown plastic version. Been adding details to it etc. One thing that really is bad on the car is the front headlights are all wrong. They protrude from the headlight housing. So I started to scratch build the headlight buckets, but wanted to pick up another bumper assembly as a back up. When I was online I noticed that in the later editions it seems that the box art car had newer improved headlights that looked better and more correct. Did AMT revise the part or did they just photo shop the picture. Here is what I mean. pics below: Should I just go ahead and get the newer version of the kit? Also looking at the original castings from the first releases and the promos from 1965 the headlight housings also seem to be correct. Although I would never go the expense of getting one of those originals. Thoughts please. I know there are you guys that know the real story. Thank you all for your help! Newer one Older version headlights (they come above the housings):
  9. you have brought up a very untapped source of revenue for who ever would kit this subject. it is about as popular if not more so than people who are into fox body mustangs. Think about all the people who would buy multiples of this to do various subjects.
  10. ill check the can again but a dupli gold of some shade
  11. Built from those wonderful build your own Promos that were out for a short time in the 70's. I always thought James Garner should have picked the Trans Am or even a Formula instead of the Esprit trim. So here is a what if car. Comments welcome! http://images42.fotki.com/v693/photos/0/3644780/13662490/image-vi.jpg http://images49.fotki.com/v630/photos/0/3644780/13662490/image3-vi.jpg http://images42.fotki.com/v694/photos/0/3644780/13662490/image-vi.jpg http://images54.fotki.com/v627/photos/0/3644780/13662490/image-vi.jpg
  12. love the truck and color, i bet with so many of us experienced modelers buying and building this kit someone might come out with a real decal sheet for it.
  13. I love that Suburban, I too share your interest in these vehicles, and I must say I wish that was in my collection! You did a wonderful job
  14. Thank you for the comments sorry for the poor pics
  15. My files are too large will format and post asap Here
  16. This is a great kit highly recommended! I hope I captured the look. And I must say some of the nicest headlight casting and assembly in recent memory. I am going to have to acquire a few more of these kits. Getting the colors down required a little online time and here was a nice reference site I would like to share: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/ Anyway on to the pics. Comments welcome! Oh and had trouble with the year this truck kit is based on so I am thinking 2010-12 would be correct. Thoughts on the model year would be appreciated.
  17. paint and color are fantastic very smooth too!
  18. love stock GM nice work! great colors
  19. I wonder if the shipping crisis on the west coast will delay all our beloved re issues coming from china?
