  1. Some very cool stuff you have there!
  2. If you got your hands on a pre-production shot, I think that's pretty darn cool.
  3. Our local Ollie's was kind of a bust this time. I'll try again next week, I suppose. Has anyone seen any variation of the L-700 at Ollie's this time?
  4. Epic! I love it.
  5. Looking forward to seeing this!
  6. If memory serves, Accurate Miniatures indicated they deliberately molded the frame that way to prevent shrinkage due to the amount of plastic that would have been needed to create a solid frame. When their site was active, they had a tips section that mentioned this and suggested one use plastic rod as a filler.
  7. This is excellent. Very nice work!
  8. This is really looking great!
  9. Chrysler, Sears, K-Mart, etc. While I hope for the best ....
  10. That is some sweet work right there!
  11. I hope it's successful for them, if only because more competition is always a good thing. Not that I need another kit, but that's never stopped me from purchasing in the past.
  12. Dude! That is totally gnarly! I love it, but it reflects the era in which I grew up.
  13. You have some cool stuff there!
  14. That, Sir, is some craftsmanship! Nicely done!
  15. I could just park it correctly on the shelf.
  16. Looking at the pictures, I'm definitely going to fix the rear lights.
  17. Thanks. The kit did come w/ the decals; although the instructions would have you install the decals in the character line; which I think is how they appear on the real car. The decals are too large to go there, and I thought they looked better above (or below) the character line anyway.
  18. I have one in the stash, and I hope to get around to building it. Here is a nicely built up sample, found on Dave's Show Rod Rally: http://www.showrods.com/gallery_pages/aerovette1.html
  19. That is just perfect. Nice work!
  20. All done!
  21. I received this kit for Christmas from my brother-in-law. The wheels in this kit are great, and I can see buying another kit just for those. As you probably know, the kit is a model of a kit car - the Daytona on Miami Vice was based on a Corvette and not an actual Ferrari. The Monogram kit reflects this fact. There are also shots of the clear-nosed Daytona and solid-nosed Daytona from the show. Out of the box, the kit builds the solid-nosed version. I guess that's the right term. Anywho .... The hood does sit correctly; I just bumped it prior to taking the picture. A little polish left in the door line. Oops. The kit comes with the correct ZAQ-178 license plate; but I messed it up. So, I reverted to the "spare". I may fix that eventually. The tail lights look funky, too. That actually bugs me and may be corrected before going into the case. Thanks for looking.
  22. Nice. This kit was not on my to-do list, but the more I see the build ups on this site, the more I'm thinking I need to buy it!
  23. While not a 1965, still kind of interesting. I ran across this while looking for information about the rereleased kit: https://bangshift.com/general-news/ebay-find-2/ebay-find-this-one-of-none-1962-lincoln-continental-station-wagon-need-a-home/
  24. That is impressive work I think the seatbelts would normally attach to the rollbar, but maybe I'm wrong? Still, really impressive!
