Thanks folks,,the one thing I wish I had for this is the correct deep dish style rims that the race cars had. But its still cool as is,,build on ! -
Greetings one and all. Just getting a few kits off the workbench as fall is getting closer. Heres the AMT 63 splitwindow Vette,,fun kit for the age of the tooling. I dig the mags that came in the kit,,I didnt do too much crazy on this,,simple wiring ect. Sprayed with tamiya ice blue rattle can. And ace hardware store tan rallecan on interior. A fun kit for sure. Awsome car ,,I think these 1:1 cars go for 6 digit figures at Barret Jackson these days. This is the only one I can afford ,,lol! But hey,,its still cool to have this one,,,,,Build on !

Thanks so much folks,,forgot to mention a few other things I did to this. I added header collector pcs to end of headers,,and when I mocked that up the ends of the headers were too long to clear the front fenders lower,,so I dremmel cut openings on the fenders to clear the x-tra length on the headers ,,and opened up the wheel wells a bit with the dremmel just for the heck of it. And added a radiator and hoses. Other than that its a stock kit. Thanks again for the looks,,,enjoy all the builds here! Cheers S

Greetings all,,its almost fall and lookin forward to getting some building done. Just finished this AMT 65 Chevelle AFX,,decent kit ,,added a few x-tras here and there. Different seat,,x-tra bar on rollbar,,spoiler on rear trunk deck,,some basic wiring ect. Sprayed w/ rattlecan Tamiya TS-37 Purple. And Tamiya spray blue for interior bucket. All in all it turned out pretty good for the age of the tooling. Enjoy your builds and theyll enjoy you! Peace

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!!
