W-409

Great work on that Corvette! Glad to see you building one, as I haven't seen much of these '73 and newer C3 Corvettes built. Very nice work so far, the engine looks really good and it's always good to see that nice bodywork being done. Can't wait to see more pics.

Very nice work on this Cameo, it has to be one of the best builds of this kit that I've ever seen. Small details just like the opened up grill really make it stand out. The overall look is very realistic in the pictures, honestly I can't point out anything that I would do different.

I found it pretty fast that it's a Rovin, but it took me a while to figure out if it's D3 or D4. Eventually I found it out that it has to be a D3 and got it right. Waiting for next week's Quiz with great interest.

Well I'll continue then. Last weekend I was at a Rockabilly Party here in Finland. Monkey And The Baboons from Poland sounded (and looked ) excellent, they performed a great cover of Dave Edmunds' Trouble Boys. And the second band, Crystal & Runnin' Wild was excellent, too! Don't know how well known this original version is, but as it has 553 000 views in YouTube, maybe it can be count as a well-known song.... Anyway, they performed What A Way To Die, which was a huge improvement to the original Pleasure Seekers' version, in my opinion at least.

This morning I stopped at a gas station to get a cup of coffee while driving to school with my truck. One car stood out from the rest at the parking lot, and it was this '66 Chevy Caprice. It was probably just arrived from USA as it had Texas plates on it.

I'm in! Since I had no time to build anything for Cannonball 2018, I want to try this one. The idea sounds very interesting, and it's great that there are rules that limit what we can and can't do. Interesting to see how everyone is going to "bend" the rules, as a Drag Racer myself I know that if something is not forbidden, it's allowed. Rob participated with a '51 Chevy Fleetline. My entry is a bit similar, but it's a Bel Air. Hope that is OK. So I'd like to go with '51 Chevrolet Bel Air and start with number 13. Someone has crashed my Chevy, so I need to fix it up. Though it might be that some scratches and dents are left as a "memory" from the possible previous rallies.

Yes, as some guys already said, it is from Jo-Han '66 AMC Marlin. I checked with my other Jo-Han AMC kits, and it can't be from AMC Javelin or AMX.

Great to see this kit being reissued. The older versions are not easy to find around here, and this kit is a perfect starting point for a Mild Custom. So I'll be surely buying one when they're out.

Those are some great looking Fords! This is probably my favorite era of Stock, Super Stock (and Factory Experimental) racing, so I'm really happy to see this kind of models built. All of them are done very nicely, great work.

I knew that it was an European Van and I knew about what years it was built in. But finding out what it actually is, wasn't that easy. I think I've seen one at some place, but had no idea what it was. But eventually I found it out while surfing in Google...

Yep Dave you said nothing about the Big Block. And yes there are some "Small" Blocks that are over 400 Cid, but that can't be done with 283 or 265. Personally I don't care what size SBC someone likes to call it, but if one wants to build an accurate model out of this kit, it's good to know what the kit engine really is.

Hey, I'm only 21 years old. But seriously speaking, it's good that people buy those electric cars. That way there is more gasoline for us who need it.

Today I saw a clean late '70s Dodge Aspen here in Finland. It had winter tires on so it's probably used as a daily driver. Those are not so rare cars around here, but seeing one in that nice condition is pretty rare. Then a bit later I saw an orange Plymouth Van that has a Mopar Big Block mill. Here's a picture of the same car, taken a few weeks ago at a local garage party.

I agree with what Gaute said above, it's good that I'm not the only one who thinks that now they ruined a good COPO Camaro by installing an electric "engine" in it. I tried to post a reply a couple of times to this topic already, but I couldn't find a way to say it nicely... So I'm just going to say that I have absolutely zero interest in any of those electric cars, they are absolutely horrible. Here in Finland I drive every day with my Chevrolet Truck, yes it consumes a bit of gasoline but it's quality that costs.

The BadMan kit engine is clearly a Small Block and not a 396 BBC. The valve covers, heads and headers are clearly SBC parts... Of course it's impossible to tell the engine size, but if I remember correctly it has the old oil filter, which was used on at least 265 and 283 Cid engines and not found on more modern SBCs.

This is great news, so it looks like we get three of these Comet FX kits if the B/FX version is coming out at some point, too. I just got the Arnie Beswick version of this kit, but it looks like I'll have to get one of these as well. I really like these Comets, so great to see multiple versions of this kit.

I agree, this would be a must have kit for me. But somehow I'm afraid that it won't happen at least in the near future. That Ventura would make an excellent Stock Eliminator car...

Got my copy of the new Moebius Models & Model King Arnie Beswick's '65 Comet A/FX kit. Looks like a great kit, can't wait to start building it. '65 Comet has been one of the cars that I've wanted to build for a long time...

Yes, flash shield would look better than the air cleaner. Plus that making one is really easy, I used beer can aluminum on mine. Otherwise the Ford is looking excellent! I think you nailed the period look perfectly with it and it's great to see that not all of these old Gassers are built as "super shiny show cars" or something like that. Nice work!

And today it arrived in the Mail! It's funny how slow everything goes here in Finland, as it took less time for the package to arrive to Helsinki, Finland than what it took to go through the customs and get to my doorstep, which is like maybe 10 miles or something like that.... But the eBay seller did a very good job again, I'm pretty sure that's the way to order these Limited Production kits in the future, too. Anyway, the kit itself looks very nice, can't wait to start building it. I was so happy to see that the body wasn't warped at all, as the 1965 Plymouth kits had that problem. Looking at the parts I have no complaints, except that the window trim is molded to the windows which really sucks...When applying BMF to the window trim, only a minor slip with the hobby knife will ruin the window... Hopefully that doesn't happen to me.

That plan doesn't sound too bad either! Should be a cool project, so hopefully we can see a project thread or something when you get to it? These 3rd Gen GM A-Bodies happen to be very interesting... I understand that it's not a good idea to pay that money from one of the Cutlass kits. I was lucky to find mine with $20 price tag here in Finland, but I knew immediately that it was cheap...

Yep, those Jo-Han Cutlass headlight buckets look pretty close to '73 and '74 Chevelle ones. This sounds like an interesting project with lots of work, but I think it could be done. I've been planning on doing a similar modification as I have a couple of those Stock Car kits too.

Just had a second (closer) look on those pics and it looks like you're right. But that makes things a bit easier as I have several that kind of inner wheelhouses in my parts box. Maybe some of them will fit. I'm not a Mopar fan myself, so I'm not going to shoot for 100% accuracy. But the closer I get, the better of course.

Oh Yeah, this is great news! This is one of those must have kits that I need to buy when they're out. It's a beautiful body style and great to see it being the Flareside version. Only complaint that I have is those windows with the window trim molded in them. Hopefully Moebius would stop doing that in the future...

That turned out very nice! Probably the best version that I've seen built from this kit. I think it's cool to see these simple kits that don't have so many parts being modified into something better and more detailed. You did amazing job with this Scout. Especially the engine bay looks really nice, but your upgrades all over really make it stand out from the rest of the Scouts that I've seen built. I'm not a huge fan of Off Roads, but this is one of those cars that I've wanted to build. And seeing yours makes me want to build one even more.
