Nicely done, love the color. David G.

Wow G one doesn't often see one of these "factory fresh". Nice work! David G.

As always, fantastic work Richard. David G.

Nice rust work- very convincing. David G.

I've always wanted to build one of these- still do. Mind if I watch? Though I don't know much about ship models, what I've seen so far looks good. Impressive weathering effects. David G.

Bill, I wish you a successful operation and a rapid recovery. David G.

Thank you Cary. David G.

That came out nice! David G.

Wow! Spectacular work, love the detail. David G.

Nice work on the door panel! David G.

Nicely done! Great color choice. I wish I could have grabbed some of these kits back in the 80's when the stores were dumping at clearance prices. David G.

Thanks Bill. I always value your input. I guess if it ain't right, it just ain't right, and there's no sense in doin' it if it ain't done right. Obviously, I tend to be a little obsessive myself, and I can see many of the body line inaccuracies that you describe, but I tend to follow my 90% rule. If 90% of the general population wouldn't notice the difference, then I tend to let it slide. The second criterion is my skill level. A good example is the banana on the side of the dreaded AMT 1958 Belvedere. Though it bothers me, I'm not sure that it's something I would have the skill to correct. Thanks again, David G.

Nice paint work, good color combination. Looks great. David G.

Excellent work! David G.

Great work on the wheels! David G.

Thank you James. David G.

Thanks Mitchell, I'm glad you enjoyed it. David G.

It seems that you had to go through much more to get your BelAir to fit together. Tell me Jay, why do we put so much work into these things? Thanks I'm glad you like it hopefully I'll get some more time on the bench soon. David G.

Thank you Richard! David G.

Here is an update on the interior fit issues. The test fit revealed that there was something at the front of the interior assembly that wasn't allowing the body to settle all the way down over the chassis. Upon inspection, it seemed that the windshield and dashboard were in conflict. Lowering the dashboard was the next step. I removed the dash and took a 2 mm notch out of each of the two positioning tabs on the sides. The next test fit revealed more work to be done. Lowering the dashboard allowed the side panels to come into conflict with the windshield. They would also need to be altered. Looking at this notch in the interior side panel, it would seem that Revell did anticipate the windshield conflict. It didn't work out that well in practice though. Rather than taking a chance on cracking or chipping the windshield, I decided to make the adjustment on the interior side of the equation. Just about there. At least it looks like I'm on the right track. Though the frame rails are visible below the body, they are parallel to it. I am declaring this problem solved and moving on to the next one. As always, thanks for looking and feel free to comment. David G.

Very cool! I can almost hear that thing whizzing by... Bbbvvverrrrrrrr... TukTukTukTuk.. David G.
