  1. Does anybody have the AMT 1;16 scale 55 & 57 Chevy coupes ? Is the side glass & front windscreen the same in both kits ?
  2. I picked up one of the Franklin Mint 57 Chevy kits real cheap as it had a missing engine. Does anybody know if these kits share a mould with plastics kits ie AMT or Revell ect ? At the moment I'm unsure to build it as a coupe or convertible, but as it was so cheap its gotta be modified !
  3. The 1;1's were very cool back in the day & everybody had one here in the UK (stockers not RS1800's). Now they are worth a heck of a lot of money when restored / modified. This kit needs to be reissued.
  4. Hey Mike, that does look real nice. . . . & I'm a Chevy guy lol I wonder, just like the 57 Chevy sedans, there will be a Ford kit offered that has modded suspension ect ?
  5. Looking good Erik. I have one of these kits that's my oldest surviving kit, built nearly 30 years ago ! Like yours, not quite correct but cool at the time. It lead to 30 years of 57 obsession
  6. Thats real cool. I've got spare 1;12 wheels some may follow your lead. Whats the tyre smoke made from ?
  7. Great weathering & road diorama Jules. I hate polished Cop cars. Keep 'em mean n dirty !!
  8. Looking nice, what kits are the front & rear suspension from ?
  9. A bit of food for thought, for these kits . . . . Ive met the guy that owns this. Its running a Rover V8. Its been roof chopped and the front headlight area's are modified from a 55 - 57 Chevy pick up. As its still registered as a Taxi, he drive in London bus lanes without getting any fines
  10. If anybody buys the kit & doesnt use the decals, I'll be happy to trade them.
  11. Fantastic build, love they yellow & black stripes.
  12. Just noticed the box art front bumper is custom, but its a stocker in the box.
  13. Great box art & decal sheet. Just noticed the NITE MARE decals lol I've got the Hot Rod issue that being built as a junker, so a lot of the kit problems wont notice.
  14. Very nice, love unmarked cruisers
  15. Great, I love your builds.
  16. Great looking 57. Proves the MPC kit is still a great kit to build.
  17. Thats very cool. Its inspired me to do a 57 Chevy Deals Wheels of my 1;1 sedan.
  18. WOW ! Steve thats very nice. Id love some details & more pics. So not to detract the thread, could you pm or post in the 1;1 section ?
  19. Has anybody issued a resin kit of a Fox LX hatchback, to use with Revels notchback kit ?
  20. Found the pic, wish Revell woulda done a LX hatch
  21. VERY nice & the best colour. I saw a LX hatch in this colour, with Cobra wheels that I wanted to take home to my garage !
  22. Love it ! Great weathering. Its got that real 'working for a living' look.
