Very nice Jonathan

Really nice

While we are at it, the windshield wipers are on top of the windshield on a 39 and at the cowl on a 40. All models, coupe, convertible and sedans.

Received some AFB;s for both the Max Wedge and the street Hemi today. WOW, such fine detail and so accurate. Well worth ordering Joseph is very talented and super to deal with.

Super nice build on the Monte Mark! You always nail 'em

Really nice looking pair. I need one of those kits myself.

Sweet

Nice builds. In early 1957 NASCAR allowed superchargers (Ford) and fuel injection (Chevy) and they also allowed the dual 4 barrels. Sometime during the season they changed the rules and only allowed the single 4 barrel.

If you are interested, the inner fenders and firewall should be body color. Not sure what color you are painting the body but body color would be factory correct for the firewall and inner fenders on a Charger. The engine and interior look good, should be a nice build

The Revell 64 Thunderbolt comes with a C6 automatic and a 4-speed.bellhousing setup.

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a worthwhile kit to me.

The Monte is looking very nice Mark! One day I need to make one myself. Looking forward to seeing yours all finished. Your builds are always something to enjoy I have had that pressure problem with a can of Tamiya clear. It was a can made before the Japan earthquake shut them down for awhile. I did get something coated with it and it all spider webbed on me anyway. I have no luck with ANY clear coat and I have tried them all! I should add that I wait 24 to 48 hours before masking and the next color. I do live in a warm, very dry environment though.

The ten spoke cast aluminum wheel was an optional upgrade over the steel Magnum 500 wheels in 67. I once nearly bought a 67 GT500 with the 10 spokes in Brittney Blue. It was at Tasca Ford in Providence RI. I happened to have a short time left in the US Army so they wouldn't lean me the money One that got away!

I asked Steve and got no answer.

The AFB's look great! We really need a Holley single 4 barrel with the "LeMans" float bowls for the single 4 barrel intake used on hemis for NASCAR racing. Also the carb used by most during the late 60's for NASCAR. Same carb came on a Shelby GT-350 and the single 4 barrel 427 Cobra.

I am green with envy Raoul You really better build fast you have a few months left before your model area turns into a nursery

Nice thoughtful tribute to Ken Miles. Very well done. I too thought the Miles car won or should have been the winner. Miles was a real road racer!

Thanks for the reminder Raoul. I went and picked out 8 bottles and ordered them. That is a real deal. I should be well stocked with colors soon

What I do is tape the break with Tamiya masking tape and then take some 3M blue 1 inch tape and some kitchen cling wrap. I tear off about a foot of the Cling wrap, lay the edge on the counter top and take the blue tape and tape the edge, leaving about half the width of the tape. I tape that to the Tamiya tape and wrap the cling around the nose, taking time to make sure nothing is exposed. Then I spray. Keeps the chances of paint being pulled by the tape to a minimum.

Thanks Tim, very cool looking kit. I want one

I feel your pain! I once painted a 57 Chevy Black Widow 6 times, always something ruined the paint job. Tried different paints, different techniques and nothing seemed to come out right. I finally pained it with Tamiya spray cans and took it to our monthly club meeting and took home the monthly prize against about 20 other builds. I even threw the body across the room at one point, glad it found a soft landing spot Bottom line, hang in there, it can get better!

Actually all the tires in the Hall of Fame kit are terrible, with the Lotus and Watson being the worst. The correct tires for the Lotus and Watson are available from Indycals and come with decals for the correct markings. The original kit tires were still not correct for the 1963 cars as raced. Indycals measured, photographed and 3D printed the masters for the correct 63 tires. It was the only year for that particular tire design.

If you want loads of details, try the LeMans Miniatures version in 1:24 scale.

The Bronco is one I want, used to have a nice 70 model, wish I still had it! One of my favorite kits from recently is the 57 Chevy Black Widow, Well done kit, I do wish they'd throw in a back seat and a 6 cylinder engine to make a plain old 150. Still, a great kit. A new type Corvette may be a popular one, nicest 'vette in decades. Keep it up Revell

Nice work on the tires
