W-409

This is my newest project. I love these old Monogram kits, this one is looking very good, there are lots of parts and they are looking nice! Good looking parts there. Specially I like those wheels and tires. Bad thing is that this is molded to red... But that really doesn't matter too much... There are no chrome parts, those parts are looking like metal, not chrome... Good job, Monogram. This will be some kind of street machine... It's great that this kit has very good top option, I'll be using it for sure... I painted the engine with blue, it's now painted twice, but red is still like "you can see it", must paint it one more time... I have also that Revell's new kit from this, It will be great race car, but this is going to be street machine... But the biggest thing, I did today was tires and wheels, they were looking very good. I usually don't like BBS style spoke wheels, but these were looking very nice and that's why I'll be using them. I think, they are looking good under the Cobra too. These wheels are made very nicely, they are made from two pieces. There is the front side of the wheel, there are not so many spokes, but there is also rear side of the wheel. There are lot's of little spokes. Then of course there is some kind of brake drum/ wheel back... Rear tires are "Good Year GT Radial", you can see these tires in many kit's, for example Revell's '71 Buick GSX. There are no text but it's the same tire. Front tires are Michelin's tires. They are a little smaller... You can find those tires, for example Revell '66 El Camino. Comments, ideas and tips etc. are very welcome!!!

This is very nice, paintjob looks perfect! Nice model, but it would be nice to see some more pictures from it... But yes, it's nice and for a week project, that's awesome, like it very very much...

It woud be very nice to hear, how this turned out. Like is that made from styrene, that rearend, I mean. And so on, so on... But anyways, this one looks very nice, paintjob is very good looking, foiling work looks very good! Nice job on the chassis too, engine is looking awesome. Detailing is very good. Like the stance and car looks very good all the way, very big conversion work behind, that's nice to finish this kind of model!

Nice job with it so far! It looks good, just my style. Your work is always nice, I can't wait to see this one finished!

That's very nice Impala!All little bolts are painted by silver, that looks cool. I try to paint them too, but sometimes I have forgotten that thing. But paintjob is nice, red '62 Impala is very nice looking, good looking W-block on it! Nice detailing, chassis looks very good and nice work whith interior too! That foiling work is looking very nice! Thank you for sharing, someday I must buy that Revell's Special Edition '62 Bel Air. It's nice kit, because that is not bubbletop and Special Editions are very nice. That bubbletop is very nice, but that "normal top" is something you can't see every day. But this is very nice!

Wow, that's really badly warped, as you said! But whith this model, that doesn't matter that it's warped... I mean, to me this looks very great! That paintjob looks awesome, it's something impossible!!! But that interior looks very good too, it's maybe a little high stance to me, I'm not sure, I like it, but at the same time that stance is not looking cool. So nice model all the way, so that height doesn't matter, awesome job on this, your builds are always looking so cool!

Nice start whith this one! It's one kit, I have to buy also, all these Funny Cars are always good looking. Whith your talents, it's going to be awesome. Nice job with it ao far, I like that body very much, it's nice.

This is maybe very stupid question, but I really don't know what car is this. Can someone tell me? I just don't know from these, I can see that it's maybe japanese car... Very nice build, that paintjob looks awesome, and engine detailing looks very good too! Thank you for sharing this beautiful car, that car looks pretty good to me, like that body style.

Nice, paintjob is awesome, that is so shiney and smooth! Decals are very nicely put and that's just good looking gasser! I have buit this same kit, and the kit is very good. I can't see any mistakes on it, but that engine and interior and chassis picture too would be very nice to see. Thank you for sharing, very nice!

I think, it's '55... I'm not sure either, but I have built '55 Ford pickup and it's just like that. It can be also '53, but I'm really unsure whith that thing too. I'm not a fan of these Ford Pick Ups so much that I can say just those yearmodels... But your progress looks very good to me. That chop top looks cool, yeah it's very high if it's original. Those inner rear fenders are looking good, that's very nice project, I keep watching this one!

Great H-Body! Looks awesome, but maybe more detailing on the engine would be cool. That's not bad anyways, paint is very nice and awesome decals, they are fitting perfectly! Great looking Vega, love these!

Nice build! Very good colour, nice decals and they are fitting very nicely! Good job with details also, very nice project, like that car. It's very nice in Funny Car, don't like it in original but that doesn't matter at all. Nice job with it! Airfix has made the Burnout Bird, seventies Pontiac Funny Car. That is pretty good kit, the same kit is built by MPC also. It's same box and kit is same too, I think. There is only MPC logo... Then MPC has made Nitro Bird. That's same kit, I think that Burnout Bird, but there is body like this. It's quite un usual but... I have that Burnout Bird. Your model looks good anyways!

First. Love the car! Monza is very good looking, it's just sad that it's quite rare car, as Skyhawk and Starfire... But that colour looks very very good on it, detailing looks very nice and this is very interesting project. Keep it going!

Nice LeMans! Pictures are little blurry, but I can see the car and it looks good. That's very good idea to build "normal farmers everyday car"! Six engine looks good on it, nice detailing, paintjob is nice and so on. Very good job with it!

Oh yes, it would be nice to see engine and chassis... But anyways, that looks super, paintjob is perfect to me and I thought that it was 1:1 car, but I realized that this is model car forum... So that looks amazing, very clean build there are no big mistakes. Great job!

Nice detailing on the engine, paintjob looks very cool and it's very interesting project. It's sad that most of that detailing leaves under that shaker scoop, but that scoop looks so good that it must be there also. But you are making very good progress, I'm watching this one.

This is my new project. I bought this yesterday from model car show, here in Finland. It's a glue bomb. There is only body, interior floor, doors and chassis. That's good start for this, I'm building it because on the next year theme class in that show is called Finland. So in late seventies or in early eighties, people build pretty wild looking street machines. Rear end was raised and front end lowered. Usually there were also wide rear fenders, because otherwise big wheels don't fit. It's not my favorite style but it's "must have" thing... Right now I have 362 days to finish this project. So I don't have a hurry. It was cheap, only 3 euros, that's very good. It's very good basis for this, I take almost every part from my "million box". Powerful engine of course and "Back Off" mud flaps and everything like that. Maybe a sunroof...? Lots of ideas, that's good and now I made those rear fenders wider with little styrene part, now it needs bondo. I must make one for the other side still. Wheels are from Monogram '56 Chevrolet Bel Air, they are quite ugly, I think but very good for this... Tires are Good Year Rally GT, they are from million box also. It's quite good stance? Comments and ideas are welcome, I'm trying to get some time for building next days, today I was building exhaust system to '79 Buick with my dad. Welding pipes together is fun and quite easy!

Yesterday at model car show, I bought good looking taillights for this. But if I'm going to use them, I must put some styrene and I must narrow them a little. An other idea is that I use '55 Chevy taillights. I'm not sure about those bullets, because they are maybe "too used" so let's have a see. I bought also graver, made by Trumpeter. I tried to grave those panel lines a little, because now they are lot better. That graver is almost perfect tool for this, I can't find any bad things from it. It's quite cheap also, don't know how is it in dollars, but it cost 5,90 euros to me. Great tool, I say! Hope to have more progress pics pretty soon...

That's nice. (As usual...) Very good job, can't find any mistakes from it, that "RRRRRRRRRRRRREVELLUTION!" is pretty funny thing, but detailing is perfect, every single fitting and wire are in the correct place! Thank you for sharing! "

Great work, as always! Like it very much, that paintjob is very good and engine detailing looks very nice too. Good job with it, Challenger is very nice car and FC cars are nice... You did exellent job, thank you for sharing.

That Pro Sportsman is not the easiest model kit, tube frame is very tricky to install and quite often you must warp them just a little. I should start from something easier maybe, that '66 Nova from AMT would be very good starting point. It's very good to drag racing, you only must change slicks to it. Or I don't know are there slicks in that round 2 release but just change tires and it's good drag car then. I mean these kits: I didn't find a picture from that older release, but it's the same car but it has a square pro scoop and it's yellow in the boxart. But that's very good kit for start drag modeling, I built that older release sometime ago, it was very good kit, I think.

This is looking very good, I think, it's one of your best ones. Good job with it. Paintjob is awesome as always and that shiny is beutiful. Wheels and tires are looking very good too, very clean work with it. I can't find any mistakes from it, nice engine and detailing is looking very good. Thank you for sharing.

That's looking good and it's cool project. Engine is looking very good, frame is nice and so on. Oly one thing, what is disturbing me. That seam of the engine what comes when you glue those engine halves together. But that doesn't relly matter, it's looking very good!

I should say: Real! This is very very good looking build, John! It's always very nice to see your builds here, this one is awesome, as always. That Alcad work looks super, how did you make it? It's very good looking! Paintjob otherwise too looks very very good and engine detailing is very great too, amazing I would say. That's just very beautiful model all the way, thank you fors sharing this one!!! Your work is always very great, it would be very cool to get that kind of building talents some day... I like your builds very much!

Didn't mean, you are old, I just meant that it's great when someone who has built models before is coming back to the bench. There came the "old modeler". Sorry.
