  2. Ferrari rear end is a nice custom touch. who'd a thunk it'd fit in so well?
  3. If you haven't seen this movie, you're lucky! it's taken a poor script (sm2) and made it worse. Its so bad that Burt Reynolds wanted nothing to do with it. The basic premise is Big Enis challenges the retiring Sherriff Justice to make a cross country run and gets the Bandit to stop him. Without the Bandit, the task falls to his sidekick (snowman). He gets a new trans-am for this outing, which is a 82-83 Pontiac Firebird, its' virtually the same car used in the Knight Rider, so that's where i started, with the MPC KR kit. i basically stockified the KR kit. I removed the distinctive nose scanner and changed the steering wheel to stock. i did have a 99 firebird dash that i was going to use, but i couldnt' find it in my parts box when it came time to build, doh. I added the distinctive gold band before masking and painting the gloss black. it polished up nicely.
  4. this is the 1/16 Dukes of Hazzard General Lee Dodge Charger by MPC. the kit depicts a 'stock racer' and doesn't have some of the factory parts that i scratchbuilt, like the engine bay and the rear seat.
  5. added the seat belts. the shoulder strap had to be added after the body was on because it joins both roof and floor how it progresses. note box for my 1/12 mustang. old modellers trick. sand the tread of the tire to improve visual realism. here it's half done front grille added. basically done how the engine looks at home how the chassis looks finished. finished model fills the desk. it's certainly impressive if you want a model with wow factor. it's a pity that so much of the assembly was done at the factory (if i'd know i would've asked for one completely unassembled). here's the included a replica glove box manual. Here's a scale difference to show how big it is. on top is my 1/25 scale xy falcon gtho (moffat).
  6. This is my Icon Models Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase 3. it's a diecast kit (pre-painted and partly assembled) At 1:8 scale it's huge and heavy. Assembly was fairly straight forward, the hardest part was putting in the wiring loom. This is my ICON models 1/8 scale Ford Falcon model. it's diecast pre-painted and pre-tampo-decaled. worth a mighty thousand bucks, this kit only required a couple nights to assemble. There's a lot of detail in it, but given it's size its not that surprising. Pre Assembled 351 v8 part assembeled the chassis/interior one wheel to give idea of size building the wire loom (hardest part) engine in place more interior the doors were already added at the factory so they could be correctly aligned. dash in place. see, it really is a HO by the badge on the glove box body to chassis
  7. it's a nice photo, but most 1:1 photographs of cars will have full field of view (not blurred close and far away). it's actually one way to make a 1:1 car look like a model is a narrow focus.
