Based on the box art, the headlights should work. Somehow I am not expecting them to.

Revell 67 Coronet 500 2 dr ht..
Chris in Berwyn replied to moparfarmer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Just picked one up for $5.73! Foose wheels and tires going on another project but I will likely build the Coronet - although the grill bugs me. Dave Kindig customizes one of these but I didn’t like the grill treatment he did either! -
Very nice, and what gloss on the paint!!
-
I am building the HUG right now. Front end actually sits quite low, as does the rear. I was surprised.

It be nice to see these 5 out again

Maybe they can sell their CAD drawings for the ‘64 Nova to Salvinos. -
The 63 Ford hasn’t been out since the Millenium edition I believe. I’d be interested in the Mustang GT if it came with Coke decals. (Just kidding about the Coke decals!)

Will Microscale Decal Film..........
Chris in Berwyn replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have never had a tacky decal sheet, new or old. That said, the two products that have been suggested are what you should use on old decals to get them to work well. -
Yes it looks good. What tires are in the kit?
-
That looks good!! I dont think Krylon is a very glossy paint. Results are usually gloss-ish. But the colors look absolutely perfect and stock cars often didn’t have finishes as good as on our models of them!
-
I'd like to know too! I just bumped into both Richmond and Talladega. I'd love to know what was going thru Dale Sr.'s mind when it looks like he took a left turn into DW at Richmond! Anyway it was fun to see Kyle win his first. Regarding this topic - I'd love to see some pix. The box art looks so good - if the body is accurate I think will pick one of these up. A nice change from the Monte Carlo aerobacks.

Looks great on the box! Why on earth do they say they are for age 18 and older??????? FS1 has been replaying older NASCAR races and just saw these GPs tearing around Talladega in 1987 - they were good looking racecars.

I just finished this up. I have quite a few NASCAR kits but this is only the 2nd I have ever completed. I wasn't a Brett Bodine fan, so I am not sure why I bought this kit, or of all the kits I have this is the one I built!! But in any event, I painted it 10+ years ago, and then it just sat til a couple of months back when I decaled it and painted remaining parts. So here it is - it will look good on the shelf and I think it may inspire me to finish a couple more that have been in progress for a loooonnnggg time (one since the 1990s.) This is the AMT kit - I have some Monograms too, but more AMTs.

Project ... Studebaker fuel coupe
Chris in Berwyn replied to cobraman's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
It's going to be hard to go wrong with that combination of parts!! -
Looks like adult Pinewood Derby. I have to say it looks cool to see the pack go by!
-
Say, how is this kit? Back in 1979 or so I didn’t like the nose on this car, but now I have a soft spot for it and if it’s a decent kit I’ll get one.
-
Ok, that is GREAT!!
-
Not that I need any more kits, but the GTX looks pretty cool. Also, I wonder where they came up with the Golden Gate Bridge idea for the Chevelle box art? In real life there is a fort not far behind the Chevelle, and there is a beach - with no road - where the car is driving!! But much better box art than for the '68 Chevelle. I once fell asleep looking at that box :
-
Brings back memories!

I would believe that, except no teleprompter writer in their right mind would use the word “cool” in every sentence. Plus if there was a teleprompter Chad should know what it says ahead of time.
-
That few cools is not cool!! I think he got 2 in on one sentence about the Dart.
-
I used to pick up kits that I might have a plan for 10 or 15 years ago as the price was low enough that if I didn’t build it, so be it. Now at $30 per kit, My purchase are way down. The only time I buy something now that I don’t have a plan for if it’s $9.99 at Ollies.

Nicest build I’ve ever seen of that!!

Looks like AMT is introducing, or as they spell it below, intorducing, some LEGO knockoffs. Was that news in today’s video announcement?
