  1. Here's a resin model I've been waiting for a long time. The 1:18 Best of Show Lincoln Mk V. This doesn't have any opening features, but that's OK because it beautiful and for only $97.00 it's a bargain too.

    Enjoy

  2. I think I set a personal best build speed on this one. 2 hours, including paint and correcting the headlights. It's a great kit for 11 buck, comes molded in red and black. Of course mine is done in Testors Frost Blue Lacquer with Wet Look Clear top coat. All the black trim was done using a super size black Sharpie and the head light detail was done with an ultra fine Sparpie.

    Don't let the Snap Tite think twice about buying this one, Super nicely done.

  3. Thank you again for the great comments on my Galaxy.

    The '67 Ford is one of my favorite 1:1 full-size cars, and although they seem to be rare, it's always nice to see a model of one built this nicely.  

    Al, I love the paint color choice.  Do you happen to have Testors' part number for that?  I don't see it in their listings.  

    Monty, The color is Testors Blaze Red, which is the almost an exact match to Candy Apple Red.

  4. Thank you Lee, Yuri, Steve and Ray. This is a good resin starter kit for someone who never tried a resin before. It's molded in white resin and looks as good as the original AMT kit. For $65.00 is a lot cheaper than the $200 to $300.00 originals I've seen on ebay and swap meets. This was a pleasure to build and clean up was a breeze. Nicely done Motorcity!!!

  5. I bought this excellent Motorcity resin at NNL East, but when I got home I realized I crushed the body when a large box fell on it on my ride home. I contacted Jeff of Motorcity Resin and he made me a new body at a great replacment price. I painted my Galaxy in Testors Candy Apple Red Lacquer, with Wet Look Clear top coat. Since the kit doesn't come with chrome parts, the bumpers and wheel covers were done using Bare Metal Foil along with all trim pieces. The interior was finished using a king size black Sharpie, giving the interior that perfect black vinyl look. The tires are from AMT's Firestone Parts Pack and the glass was tinted using 3 light coats of Tamiya's Clear Blue. This kit requires either a 65 of 66 Ford Galaxy kit for the chassis, which I modified by removing the drive shalf hump to make the interior o fit flush.

    This is an excellent transkit and a heck of lot cheaper than buying an original kit.

    Let me know what you think.

    Thank you,

    Al

  6. Thank you Carl, Mike, Lee and Chris.

    Here's a little Tip for Buick and Magnum 500 wheels. I use a Black Ultra Fine Point marker, the tip is small enough to fit around the lug nuts and covers the chrome very well.

  7. I won this one on ebay for 99 cents plus $4.00 shipping, a pretty good deal for a fast build. I painted it Tamiya yellow (no clear coat on this one) with Tamiya semi-gloss interior and center of the hood. The glass was tinted with 3 light coats of Tamiya clear blue. I changed the kits supplied tires with AMT's parts pack RWL.

    It was 100 degree's when I took these pictures. I think the yellow kept it from melting.

    Thanks for looking.
