Great model... Just one doubt: The "General Lee" text on the roof should be in blue color instead black, right? I´m asking because I´m also building this car and this doubt came up.... I saw 1st and 2nd series and I cant remember any shot of the car with this black text... Congrats!

Help with reference photos
Drago replied to Drago's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Doc, thank you for your help. I will contact the guys from DSR... In time.. do you know the Richie´s official website? -
I've googled but unfortunately without success (maybe I should do a more detailed search ...) Someone would have reference photos of the Richie Steven´s Dodge Stratus P/S? Sorry to ask this, but this isn’t really a subject that I used to build so my search criteria should be week. Some interior, roll cage, engine, chassi, etc etc photos will be appreciated!! Thanks a lot!

Hello friends. I would like to start another building in this forum saying that I really appreciate this space. I hope I can count on you guys and get help from everyone and be able to change a lot of information. Well, the kit is from AMD. Estou com muitas referências e o manual da BT44 1:12 da Tamiya do lado. Estou seguindo ambos os manuais. Isto porque quero fazer um modelo bem detalhado e na verdade quero fazer com o castelo e o bico soltos. Então, o manual da Tamiya vai ajudar bastante nisto. I have a lot of pictures and also have the manual from Tamiya´s BT44 1:12. I'm following both manuals (1:20 & 1:12). This is because I want to make a highly detailed model with some removable parts. So, both manuals will help a lot. Start of the work on the body (sanding and putty) After discovered the measures, I cut the new parts that will consist the new nose (2mm sheet)

Hi guys. Does anybody know if Revell will reissue all models from the Classics series? The Austin Healey 100-Six already pop up more to come??? I will love to see the Jaguar XK-SS available again

I dont know if anyone already posted something about it, anyway… here it comes… Mobeius Plastic Model Kits is going to start its vehicles catalogue with one of the most emblematic race cars of American history: #1200 1953 Hudson Hornet 1/25 - $28.99 end of 2010… 2010 seems to be a good year to plastic modelers… I love this car! lets wait and see…

Hi. I would like to purchase some Alumilite product. Which is the best/correct product to replicate tires? Is it the Flex 70? Thanks and congratulation for the great tires you have...

Nice topic... can I explore a little more? I think most people who love cars can distinguish the segments (or levels of modifications) but not everyone knows deeply what really classifies a modified vehicle in the segment A, B or C, etc... Some are very characteristic and peculiar, as the Lowriders, Kustoms, Rat Rods and others. But some segments are very similar. I have some difficulty in differentiating Pro-Touring, Street Machine, Street Rods, G-Machine and Resto-Mod. I got so deep in both reading and immersing in the subject that now I can (besides the little difficult yet) distinguish between them, but it would be nice and we appreciated if someone more experienced could help us. I can give a shot: Pro-touring Most 50s-70s cars (some 40s or 80s, but these arent the focus) with high-end technology aftermarkets. Made to run fast with up-to-date engineering. No one single part of the car is forgotten. Street Machine 60s-70s cars, based on pony and muscle cars. Middle investment on aftermarkets. Focuses in the engine and suspension, with regular-to-little modifications in the interior and exterior. Wheels/tires and paint schema are both important things and almost projects has this issue as crucial to final look. G-Machine Almost the same of Pro-touring but without turning mindset. Made to go really fast and to stop really fast as well, straight only. (0-200-0 competition). Street Rod 40s-60s cars. Middle investment. Run fast are not the focus. Get a nice mill (without overkill), a nice interior, a good tire/wheel set with a good paint schema and you are ready to ride smoothie and meet your friends at the events. Resto-Mod Any antique car that must be restored and all items that will be used in this restoration are brand new (none recovered) but always following the manufacture specifications (just like the real peace at that time). What you will get is a car exactly as it leaves the production line at the time but with all new pieces (and probably even better today once we have a better technology nowadays) Guys, I know this is a issue that can give hours of discussion without no one conclusion. Each one of us have a different point of view. I just wrote my 2 cents of it! It behooves us to discuss this issue in a civilized level, always focusing on sharing information and not the enrichment of the self ego. And.. I really would love to read from you some words about it.
