All very nice! I particularly like the VW bus and r/e Mustang!!

Great! That Mustang in particular is beautiful!

That is great!!

Very nice! And great wipers! It’s a nice kit, isn’t it?

Hi, thanks for the compliment! The paint is Tamiya metallic orange with Tamiya clear on top. I used white Tamiya primer. All of it was out of the rattle can. I first polished the clear with a 4000 polishing pad, then used Tamiya polish and finished with The Treatment wax.

Setzer Vega is my favorite. All are nice!!!!

Actually there were 5, but I only have photos of 4.

Looks great!! I bought mine at Ollies a few years back. Revell must not have realized it waS going to end up being quite popular. Didn't it come out right before the “original” Revell went blooey a few years back?

Thanks for all the suggestions. Super helpful. The Ford 5 Window sounds like the best option. The engine swap might be good, but a lot of my stash is currently in storage. But maybe I have something useful for trade in what’s in my house now.

I am working on a hot rod project and want to use a 392 hemi. I’ve read the Mobius Chrysler 300 has the best “street” 392 hemi available. But I hate to buy the kit just for the engine. I’ve tried to check Cults3-D, and some other places for a 392 hemi with no luck. I know the Revell Willys and AMT altereds have 392s, but they are set up for drag racing. Any suggestions?

I think it looks nice!

Mine arrived in Utah yesterday. Looks like another good issue!!

I know - it is beautiful! I still have the body from the kit, but it was eventually converted into a narrowed funny car body!!

There are some nice engine parts in the Vette and a nice pair of slicks. Here is a pic of how the kit started out before getting modified over the years. I read somewhere that the kit chassis is actually from the C2 Vette. I am building this kit now solely because the original kit is the first kit I ever built. I got it for my 8th or 9th birthday and it got me hooked on this hobby for life!!

Unless they produce or plan on special runs just for Ollies, I always think it is too bad to see some cool kits end up there (ie: the Chevy II, the Avanti and the modified Stocker.) That said, I did pick up a Barris Surf Woody there a few years back that I would not otherwise have bought, and I had a great time building it, so I have benefited from these deals. In fact, I told my wife we are going to have to relocate back East to be near an Ollies again. So far she has not agreed!

Hi, does anyone know of any sites that will have sales this weekend (Thanksgiving)? I need to load up in a few kits and if I can get them at a discount that would be great!

Fantastic! Congrats on that!!

Here are two from the series - the Comet and the Cuda, both with Slixx decals. I also threw in the Boss Nova, which is just slightly more advanced than the other kits being discussed. I own most of the kits in the series but never seem to get around to building them. Part of the problem is I want to remove the wipers from them and it’s a pain. I removed them from the Cuda and it went fine tho, and the Comet didn’t have them.

Really nice! I am just finishing mine but mine is out of the box. Love what you did with the windshield! The best pic is the last, shot from the rear. BTW you are making me think maybe I should use the front spoiler.

That is really great! Love the wheels! Just watched an episode of Bitchin Rides last night and Kinding put similar wheels on a Chevelle.

Crazy and fantastic!! Excellent!!

I only have 2, both nitro-burners. Strangely I don't have a pic of the Mustang FC, and it is in storage so I can't take a pic. Here is the Pinto, which underwent an engine transplant. I did have a Jo-han kit as a boy, maybe a Javelin, but it is long-gone, altho I believe its redline tires are in my supply of tires that I still have.

So how did this post go 11 years without a response??? Certainly nice work from Curt!

Nice! I’d like to fine one of those! I have the Camaro and Challenger.

For anyone here who is a fan of the bands Joy Division or New Order, their bass player, Peter Hook, drove one of these in the ‘70s when he was in Joy Division. Don’t know what color tho.
