    Nice start. Aren't the M.T.F.A. cabs fiberglass, or are those the AIM cabs?

    I am looking for a headlight for the AMT 1969 Oldsmobile 442. I lost one some how (darn thing was glued in, too), and Round2 said that they do not have the parts for this OOP kit. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Great looking F1 car. Very well done.

    That's true. And that's why we call them Revellogram. ?

    Cool boat, and I like the truck, too.

    Beautiful combination. Very well done.

    Beautiful Porsches. Very well done. I have the Tamiya Jägermeister 934 in the stash. Seeing this might make it next on the bench. I picked up some Dunlop tire decals as well.

    Neat car! Never heard of these. Bet that cockpit is hot as Hades though, with all that glass. You did a great job on it.

    Looks really well done.

    Cool Demon. Well done.

    Well done.

    Thanks, guys I appreciate the positive comments. @Force I kind of figured it was something like that. Revell getting as much use as the can out of the Monogram molds. @Rich Chernosky Glad you found it interesting.

    I usually see the coolest cars at Home Depot. Registration says it's a 1969. Saw a Tesla Cyber Truck the other day, but I didn't get a pic.

    Thanks, Dave. I'm sure yours will be absolutely stunning, and all four tires will touch the ground at the same time. ?

    When I saw this kit being introduced, I got really excited & had to get it: The box says "NEW" in bright yellow lettering, and I thought "Awesome!" Much to my surprise (I don't know why I was surprised), the kit isn't new as the frame is clearly stamped "Revell, Inc. 1985", so that makes the kit at least 39 years old. Not sure what game Revell was playing here. New decals, maybe? Newer than AMT? No idea. Oh, well. Marketing gripe session over. On to the build. The kit went together about as well as you'd expect a nearly 40-year-old Revell kit to go together. Fit was decent, and the details were good. I did run into some issues, but nothing that wasn't insurmountable or that would cause the kit to go airborne. (See my Revell 1970 Porsche 917KH build for that rant!) In doing a little digging into this car & Walt Hane, I discovered that this model (well, the decals anyway) was actually based on an actual car:According to 3Dog Garage, this car, serial number 5R103, won the SCCA National B-Production Championship in 1966. (1965 Shelby Mustang R-Model | 3 Dog Garage) I tried to get the model as close to this as I could. Exterior:Yes, I messed up the decal around the fuel filler cap. Engine: Interior: Not sure why there's a spare tire. Maybe it's an SCCA rule. And yes, the actual car has Goodyear 225/70R15 racing slicks while the model has the Firestone street tires that came in the kit. Well, there it is. It's not perfect, and it's a nice "Three- Wheeler", but it's done, and I'm happy with the results.
