W-409

Danke, Dominik! The Hudsons, you built were really nice also.

Ouch, another Must have kit. Then this is something I really need to get, because on the other hand I've always wanted to build larger scale kit, but never bought one because the lack of detail items.

Can't see the DragLites. Maybe I'm blind, could someone post a link on them?

This is looking excellent! The Chromed Bumbers look really good on this one, and the stance is perfect, too. Those Hilborns sticking out of the hood give really nice finishing touch. Can't wait to see it in Tampere.

Thanx Tony ! Those decals, as well as the whole kit are really nice quality. This kit is absolutely worth buying and building because of the subject and the quality.

Other's (Me) build what they can, but this guy definetly builds what he wants! That is impressive scratchbuilding. I never had luck of bending styrene that nicely.

Thanks, Carl, Bill and Matti! And I'd really like to see one of these from Matti's bench, too. It is truly amazing kit and your previous '62 Impala turned out really nice too. And what you say about the '62 Chevys, is true. You have pretty much of them already . I just got home from Sweden. I had to visit in Harambee Hobby, and walked out with Revell '63 Impala SS on my hands. Well it's clear that I will make one Z11 Impala with 427 W-Block. All I need is Sox & Martin Impala decal sheet from Slixx Decals and one of AMT '62 Impala Super Stockers. This build is waiting for clearcoat, let's see if I can make it today.

This is Wild, but really Cool! I like the stance on it, wheel and tire choice is just right too. I'm tuned in for more to come.

It was a lot of fun to watch this one from Start to Finish. I really like how it came out. The paint is great, but I think that detailing is Jaw-dropping...Excellent quality Camaro ProMod.

I managed to get the decals applied. They are all from the kit and they fit really nicely to place. I hope to get the body clear coated soon, maybe later this week.

Cool Nova build! I like the decals a lot, are they from Model King's Austin Gasser kit? Nice paint job and detailing, too. Really like the Rake on it also.

We had a Custom Culture Show last weekend here in Finland. There were few cars, lots of bikes and Pinstripers, metal fabricators etc. And of course good Bands! Especially I liked Texas Oil's music. There was a Model Car Show, too and I was putting it together with few others. Excellent event, here are some pictures for you... Few Teasers...

This turned out very nice! I like the color on it, and paint job is excellent. All work you put into this build really shows - especially I like the opening doors and removable trunk lid. Beautiful detailing, too. Have you tried to get that engine running yet?

Nice GTX, I like the Steelies with DogDish hubcaps on this one. Nice paint job also and fantastic detailing in the engine bay. Really good job, I'd like to see more of these!

I'm 100% Finnish Model builder, so I'll say something. We have FCMA which is Finnish Car Modelers Association and it organizes Model car shows here in Finland and publishes a magazine called Vitriini (where I am a "Journalist", too) and it is really nice magazine especially when thinking that it's for Members only and it is made on free time. The main event FCMA puts together year after year is FCMA Open in November, and FCMA is organizing Model Car shows in American Car Show and many other events. FCMA Forum is alive too and there are some really nice builds. And at the local Model Car Shows there are usually 100-200 models. We have a few Model kit dealers, for example TietoNikkari, Hobby Point, Mallikauppa, Tmi Jarkko Turunen etc. The only Aftermarket dealer, Model Car Import is now closing though. A few excellent Finnish Model Car Builders and an example of their work.... -Juha Airio http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat+2012/Model+Cars/IPMS+Open+13.10.2012/PA130321.JPG And http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat+2012/Model+Cars/IPMS+Open+13.10.2012/PA130285.JPG -Tapani Rauramo http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat+2012/Model+Cars/FCMA+Open+3.11.2012/PB030360.JPG -Eero Kumanto http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat+2013/Custom+Culture+Show+16.-17.2.2013/Model+Cars/DSCN0951.JPG ...And so many more. The hobby is alive in here!

You just make it look way too easy. I'm having huge problems with scratchbuilding simple parts, like Throttle Bodies for Drag Cars and you just build entire model from scratch. It looks excellent to me, keep it coming.

Great Project! It looks very good already, keep going. We had one V8 Bug here in Finland, it was really mean car. Haven't seen it for a while, though. My buddy built his version of V8 Beetle in 1/25 scale too few years ago.

I have no idea how I managed to miss this build, but it sure looks great! There can never be enough Stockers/Super Stockers. I really like the paint on it, and the extra details you have added are really nice. Now, let's go Racing, I have built the Ramchargers version of this kit.

Thanks Matti. I've done some bodywork on this one, I hope to have it primered soon. There are few Mold lines still to be sanded.

Nice Vega, got to love those GM H-Bodies. I really like the Paint job on this, the overall detailing and clean look is something I really like. Nice to see these with Four Cylinder engines, too. Very nice.

Nice! Just the way I like them, the paint, stance and everything is just right. Detailing is superb on the engine bay and chassis too. Nice job as usual.

Nice Bug! I really like it, the color, wheel choice etc look really good! I also like the exhaust pipe, just like real VW Drag Car exhaust pipes are. Nice build! We had one Drag Racing VW Bug here in Finland too in the Late '70s. It was called Hitler's Revenge.

Yes, thanks to Christopher of the inspiration, it's coming along again!

I got a inspiration to finish these old projects. Yesterday I clened the dust from Black Widow's box and decided to finish this one. It's on four wheels now, I built the extra pair of Shocks from ones I found in my Parts Box, I just had to make them bit taller. Small styrene slips to the Leaf Springs made it possible to install those shocks. Also I put the Rear Stabilizer Bar on. It is made from metal wire and brackets are styrene and smaller metal wire.

I managed to get my El Camino on Four wheels, I had to raise the front end a little, rear end was just correct from the kit. I painted the letters to rear tires, too. Of course this car needed Cowl Induction scoop, too. I didn't have one, so I had to scratchbuild one from styrene. Here are few Mock Up pics.
