  1. Thanks very much guys !
  2. Vey very cool !! I'll take a Pepsi !
  3. Looks good to me too ! Like the color combo and those wheels and the cowl induction hood really work on a '55 !
  4. I was looking for something quick and easy so I grabbed this out of my stash , mainly because I love the Box Art ! Fourteen days start to finish which is great for me since I only get an hour or so at my bench every day .It's built right out of the box except for lowering the front and adding a distributor and coil . The chassis is just one piece with only a front axle and wishbone being separate parts , so I did a little creative painting to pick out some of the details . The only issues I found with the kit are the fit of the windshield frame and the taillights seem way too big to my eyes . . . I almost left them off ."Snake Eyes" is painted Tamiya Metallic Red topped with Clear Red to tone down the metallic . I finished it off with a 1966 Florida plate , which is the year this kit was released .
  5. Where can the rest of us get a set of these ?
  6. Really interested in the Cougar , it looks beautiful ! Will the caster be announcing here ? I don't do Facebook .
  7. Nice one ! That Royal Plum with red interior and Redlines looks great !
  8. Thanks guys ! The older kits can be fun if you ignore the inaccuracies and just build'em .
  9. Thanks very much guys !
  10. Beautifully done !!
  11. Nice ! The '66 was a very good looking body style .
  12. Thanks Dave ! Yep the Lindberg kits were all over the place as far as box art and parts go , even the scales don't match at times . The body on this one seems to be 1/32nd but the chassis and wheels & tires appear to be 1/24th scale .
  13. Thanks much Ray ! Thanks Dave ! Yes it is , and you could say that the rear spring is de-arched giving the car a nice lowered look .
  14. Super clean and beautifully done ! What paint did you use ?
  15. That's pretty freaking cool ! Never seen one built before and now I want one ! Sooo is it Titanium Gold or Ford Sunburst Gold ?
  16. Thanks very much gentlemen , it's much appreciated !
  17. These early Lindberg kits have a reputation for lacking detail and accuracy but they had some pretty cool box art , which is the reason I bought this one . This kit has quite a few parts compared to the other Lindberg kits and some parts have some have decent details molded in but most are typical . All I added was the plug wires and a firewall . I did miss a few simple things like the windshield and roll bar not fitted properly because I was working so quickly , still it was a fun little build ! Here's the contents of the kit . And the finished model .
  18. Beautiful Roadrunner ! Simple clean and it looks great in red !
  19. Beautifully done !
