This is fun to see and really well done. I've made models of all the cars i've owned, but never had one long enough to have it 'evolve'.

fabulous work so far. will you have to mask every single window when you paint it?

nice job. that's bright paint job, smooth too.

nice work. i like how you repurposed some of the ghostbusting equipment.

no, it was their dukes of hazzard 69 charger

always? only if you 'always' build american made kits (amt/revell). most japanese kits don't suffer those problems, have more detail and better accuracy. i know there's exceptions to this, but it's generally true.

you'll need to pose these models in a diorama of a chevy dealership!

it would make for an interesting documentary/reality show to take some top race drivers and put them through all the different disciplines. I think the rally driver would be the most versatile.

Original mustang was intended to capture the 'secretary' market. nowadays any underpowered 4wd seem to be the 'mom-mobile'.you know, those ones that are hard to park and easy to topple when in trouble.

Resin models CAN be cheap, but you get what you pay for, and a $20 resin body that looks like it was carved from cheese is what you end up with.

Nice. it looks the biz. it looks like the nascar chassis works well. I used an IMSA mustang (folgers) for my Monza.

excellent job. i suppose you wish you could jump in and drive it!

looks like a tough piece of muscle. got any pix of 1:1?

it looks fab. How did you find the kit itself?

easily the best Daze of Thunder car i've seen built.

Looks ok to me. There is no 'wrong' in model cars. Do what YOU like most important. Some will like more than others.

I'm sure Halicki didn't realise it in 1974 that the shelby's would be the most valuable mustangs (although it would have been fairly obvious, since they were more expensive than stock mustangs). They mention something in the movie that the 73 would be the last mustang.

i like them, esp the escort, which you don't see much of in model form.

cool. i prefer to see street-used cars rather than showroom fresh.

Looks good. did you replace the AMT supplied rims? i seem to remember them being far oversized and hideously ugly. i used fujimi aftermarket rims myself, but havent painted them yet. http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s581/aussiemuscle308/Model%20Cars/ff3_350z_05_zpsbfd8cfaa.jpg

Looks ready for a bit of Road Warrior action

nice

Having built this kit, it's a surprising little gem. I love your factory stock build.

whoah, retro...

This is my resin HQ monaro that i built as one of the chase cars in Mad Max 2. The front is completely from scratch, made from foil and body filler. the grille is made from styrene rod. Chassis and interior is from a Chevelle kit. see the build thread here http://www.thepartsbox.com/BB/viewtopic.php?f=251&t=4604 the car from the movie
