  5. Thanks Christopher ! Thanks very much Joseph ! Thanks Chris !
  6. Thanks Bob , they sure did ! I've got one of the Comet kits to build next . Thanks JC ! Thanks very much John ! I'd been thinking about this paint for about a year and finally decided to go for it , glad I did .
  7. Thanks Rick ! This was my first attempt at masking like this , I may try another one in the future . Thanks much Al !
  8. Sharp looking Aerosedan , excellent work Joe !
  9. Beautiful little roadster , well done Craig !
  10. That's one beautiful Charger ! Excellent job recreating your Super Bee !
  11. Thanks Scott ! Thanks much Jesse ! Thanks Michael ! A reissue would be great but I don't think that will ever happen .
  12. This is AMT's rebox of the JoHan Pro Stock kit and is another that I purchased for the cool box art . I built one of the JoHan Mavericks several years ago and was impressed by the detail and how well it went together , the windshield–interior–chassis all locate positively during assembly and do so repeatedly with no interference issues . Yes it has the dreaded metal axle thru the oil pan but with such a nicely molded engine it can be overlooked . This is also the closest I've ever gotten to a true Box Art build . The only changes/modifications I made were to narrow the track 1/8" front and rear so that the tires didn't stick out quite so far , and I shaved the molded lettering off of the tires and used white letter decals from Gofer Racing . The kit decals were badly yellowed so I also printed new "Right On" and Ford" decals . Masking the body for the multi-color paint was tricky and the painting took an entire week to finish . The paint is all Tamiya TS spray cans cleared with Future . I did tint the side windows but at the last minute decided it looked better without them , just a personal preference . Overall this was a very enjoyable build not adding extra details to everything and actually building a kit right out of the box ! I hope you like it and thanks for looking !
  13. Very very nicely done Jesse , it will look great in your collection ! You're correct that blue is nearly identical to the original Monogram plastic , If one didn't know you painted it they'd swear it was just polished plastic . Very neat and clean !
  14. Great looking Boot Hill Express ! Probably the most difficult Tom Daniel kit there is and you did an excellent job .
  15. Well done Ken , some of these kits can be real lemons and you've made lemonade ! And having fun is the whole idea !
  16. That's one sharp looking Javelin , well done Curtis !
  17. These JoHan kits build up so nice out of the box there's no need for any mods , well done !
  18. Beautifully done Lee , that's super nice !
  19. That's very very cool ! Excellent work !
  20. Sharp looking GTO , very nicely detailed and that color looks great !
  21. Very very nicely done ! A little BMF might help but isn't necessary on this one .
  22. Love the silver with red stripe , great job Gustavo !
  23. Wow that's nice ! Your efforts really paid off , excellent job !
  24. Well done Bernard , your changes/additions have captured the Box Art look perfectly ! I too have collected parts for this same build and will be saving yours to use as a guide . . . if I ever do it .
