This is going to be my "screen accurate" Ecto 1A from Ghostbusters II. I first started off test-fitting the pieces, especially the fins so that they would match up to the rear bumper and tail fin trim. Next I started working on the rims and white lettering around the tires. I'm sure I'll need a second coat on the rims, but they're good enough right now for a "mock-up". Finally I worked on the front grille, giving it a wash in flat black. Any questions or comments, or to just critique is welcome.

Actually this is the right link for Ecto 1A, sorry the previous post was for Ecto 1. Ecto 1A reference pics: http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/reference/19/20/

If you want an accurate Ecto 1A, I suggest you check out the link below. This link shows you the real screen used Ecto 1A and not a replica someone made up. It has a few interior shots as well as a detailed roof. You can also find other reference shots for Ecto 1 thanks to the guys at www.gbfans.com Here's the link for the photos of Ecto 1A http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/reference/18/

The equipment on top of the roof is gonna be fun. I've put together many Ecto 1A's, and to capture the realism of the car....gotta get the details in on the roof! Can't wait to see this one come together! Good luck ghostbuster!

I agree with the views on AMT DOH kits. I'm a huge Dukes fan and when I bought my first General Lee 1/24 scale from AMT, needless to say I was disappointed. Just about everything was wrong, and there was more flashing on it than any model I've ever seen! Several years later AMT comes out with a newer version right after the sucky Dukes of Hazzard movie...same issues...same model....same disappointment. MPC's new Ghost of General Lee will sell. The only problem is that it has issues too. Heck, even Revell's '69 Dodge Charger as issues with lineing up. Put the rear axle on based on the instructions and look and see if the wheels don't set too far back in the wheel well..every one I've bought (and I've bought many) have had to have rear axle alignments. All I'm saying for Dukes model builders is if you want an accurate General Lee model, build it from Revell and get your decals custom made, because there isn't a model company on the planet that can get DOH General Lee decals correct!
