Howdy all,,this is a late 90's or 2000's or so #Dodge Daytona Monogram kit I believe,,Ive had this for many years. And I wanted to build a race version,,one of favs of the era. I think I used Testors rattle spray,,and hand painted the rest. My fav feature of this is the beautiful 426 hemi mtr. Always enjoy a #Mopar,,,,,Rock on! S

Thanks all,,Yea I really like Nomads,,way cool body design. Your Elky sounds fun. This kit is a bit tricky,,for some reason the interior bucket was too long with the way the directions said to mount the dash,,so I ended up having to mount the dash to the body 1st,,and place the interior bucket after. So thats where mr dremmel came in,,had to trim the bucket underneath the dash to get it to fit right. I also made larger mounting brackets for the side pipes,,and made scratch built connector pipes for the sidepipes. And the aircleaner riser is scratch built also. Just had to have that aircleaner poppin out of that hood!. Thanks for lookin

LOL,,no you didnt miss anything,,I had the thought of adding some modern "strike packages" ,,I had these missiles left over from some other kits,,and there was so much room on those huge wings,,I mocked it up and liked the missiles on there. No,,its not "correct" as it was originally mfg,,but Ive never been concerned about being "correct" ,,I like to experiment sometimes,,thanks for lookin! S

Thanks Dan,,its probably not a stock Chevy color,,but it looks good. I like to use "compliment" colors on the cars. Rock on!

Well I dont do planes all that much,,but it is a nice break from cars ect. I got this off amazon,,cant believe they sent it in a brown paper bag! The box was squished almost flat! Lucky no damage,, but really? So I dont order models from the web anymore. Anyways,,fun kit to do,,gotta pay attention to the directions on these,,very easy to assemble stuff backwards! LOL. But it turned out cool,,I think they have one of these at Willow run display in Yipsilanti ,,about 10 miles from where I live. These planes did so much for WW2,,quite the workhorse machine. Anyways,,enjoy your building!

Why thank you sir!,, I used to use BMF for the trim,,but I like the crispness of hand painted trim instead. It takes awhile to tape off but its worth it. I really like the Tamiya paints,,very well behaved paint,,doesnt run or get wierd as long as the body prep is 100%, sand .,wash dry ect. enjoy your works as well,,thanks for lookin!!

Greetings fellow builders,,just clearing the bench of this,, the #AMT 1/16th Nomad,,great ol school kit for sure. There were some fit issues with the interior bucket+ dash setup,,but Mr dremmel took care of it. Overall a fun kit to shelf up,,,I used rattlecan Tamiya spray TS-41 for the body,, and seagreen for interior. Hand painted testors bottle for the rest. Added some basic wiring+ plumbing,,nothing too crazy. Fun kit from back in the day. Thanks for looking and build on!

Why thank you Michelle,,you do some great work also! I didnt like the banana yellow that was on the box art,,so I used tamiya TS-56 brilliant yellow, made it jump a little more. Thanks again ,,cheers!

Thanks so much folks,,you all build great stuff also!! Gotta go to Mid-Mi Motorplex this summer to get the real deal drag scene Thinkin about getting a 1:1 project car for my real garage.. Maybe a PS Pinto for street. Bob Gliddens PS Pinto from the 70's is in a warehouse in Yipsilanti Mi not too far from here where I live.,,saw it one night when my buddy was getting stuff out of storage ,,,not sure who owns it,,but was fun to see it up close. Build on!!

Greetings all,,hey its almost spring,,yeeehaaa! So,,this MPC 68 Coronet is a great kit,,I added some x-tras,,headrests,,x-tra roll bar pc w/ padding,,minor wiring/plumbing. Also my 1st try at a garage scene diorama type deal. All it is ,,sprayed cardboard,,drew bricklines and put signage on walls. Turned out ok. Sprayed car with Tamiya rattle can,,and interior as well. I like the multi pc interior,,easy to detail. A fun little project ,,I may have to do a larger diorama soon. Enjoy the builds here,,,thanks for lookin. S

Thanks folks for the kind words. This is a really fun kit to do,,everything fits+ lines up really well,,dont have to dremmel /realign stuff. You can get these kits off amazon and some other sites currently. Around 45-50$ depending. I dig all the old Large scale bike kits of the day. I have many in the collection. Go get ya one and have fun!

Hi All,,just goin thru some storage stock and ran across this I built last year,,The Revell LA Street Chopper. Probably the most iconic kit for large scale bike kits. IMO Glad they re-issued it. Heres my version. Thanks for looking!

Thanks much guys..always enjoy folks builds here. This kit went together ok,,there were some leveling issues with the chassis/interior matchup but I put a couple of lift shims between the chassis and interior,,and got it all level. Thanks for lookin!
