That was well worth the wait and the effort! Bravo!

Order direct. Shipping is fast and reasonable.

No worries; I've known him since 2002 and the products, quality and communication are excellent. I've enjoyed building the models and I've written several articles over the years, from his first days as Scale AutoStyle to his current C1 Models company he started. I bought 3 more transkits at the NNL East a few weeks ago. I've also ordered online, the transactions have all been smooth and shipping relatively swift and not very expensive.

Ah, Hasegawa finally decides to do platform-style interiors again.

Mine is almost entirely OOB. I did have a vintage set of wheels/tires in my parts box, so I haven't used the resin steel wheels included w/the resin kit. Somebody on FB I believe started down a rabbit hole, asking if this kit's chassis was based on the AMT '69 Corvair chassis, wanted to know if the '69 Corvair chassis would work "for more detail". Words were not nearly enough to convince them that the '69 Corvair chassis idea would create a cascade of issues requiring scratchbuilding, so I took these photos to compare. Use your own judgement...we're talking two different generations of Corvair chassis, different wheelbase, etc. I'm 1000% fine using the made-for-this-model resin chassis as everything fits precisely.

Our show (ACME Southern Nationals) dropped the NNL moniker a few years back. It still slips out occasionally but it hasn't been used on our flyers for 2-3 years now.

What a novel concept!

This is the one I wanted in the first place...got the DS19 too, maybe time to build it to practice up on the fit of the doors/hood/etc. Rode a few times in a '72, what a spaceship...so smooth, comfortable, and quiet. The owner's only complaint was it was painfully slow, but it averaged 27-32 MPG which in the mid-70's was pretty stellar.

Get the DS19 kit that's already out to do that version, it's also less expensive (by maybe $20). A guy in Belgium already built one...pretty cool subject.

Drop dead gorgeous! Nice work.

It's Saturday the 19th, same time & place. I have had schedule conflicts for the past 5 or 6 years and again this year, but always enjoyed it when I did attend.

Ed Sexton may go on his own and sell some of his own models. He's very much into sports/racing cars and has been known to vend at some shows outside of being a Revell employee.

I'm not surprised, Tamiya (and Revell Germany) often ignore later/popular variants of kits they've done. It might come down to more new trees of parts required than they want to invest in. Since I've seen the FXX-K Evo's screaming around Road Atlanta recently, I'd love to see Tamiya offer that. I just don't expect it...perhaps Hobby Design or ?? will do a resin based transkit for the initial FXX-K. It would need new front/rear fascias and a new engine cover/spoilers, new front/rear diffusers.

That's an amazingly gorgeous model! Love the detail.

I have one of their new kits (MX5 Global Cup racer) and it's very nice. Well worth the $88 or so; the quality is excellent as is the packaging. I've had worse Modelhaus kits that cost more $$...

You'll be sorely disappointed. These resin kits are all curbside.

For a stock Chiron I think I can stick with the decent Welly diecast for about 1/6th the price of the resin kit. The Vision GT version is really cool though!

Nothing from Aoshima/Hasegawa this time that inspires me; that's okay. My personal desire for 1/24 RX2, RX4, and R100 coupes in plastic might never happen LOL. Mild interest in the Civic racer. I might get the Modeler's 2017 Civic Type R...and not the 2018 Camry I'm about to start building their MX5 Global Cup racer, pretty nice resin kit.

Great show, should be a lot of us ACME members there.

Eric, that Comet is absolutely insanely cool! As expected Glad the Molotow worked out so well for you. I almost wonder if the Spaz Stix clear is an enamel, when dry it's definitely softer than a lacquer.

Thanks; I need to update the picture as I sold the white Miata in 2014 to one of my best friends and now have a red '06. Loved the white '96, best car I have ever owned. The red one is much faster and quite reliable but not quite as bulletproof as the '96. Alclad's Aqua Gloss is acceptable as well but it's not quite as clear as the Spaz Stix clear. I was surprised how poorly Future did on Molotow; a Future dip w/Alclad or Spaz Stix chromes works quite well, better than their own clears. But not for Molotow...

When airbrushed you spray in wet coats; treat it like paint and don't do mist coats, the wet coats allow it to keep the "liquid mylar" appearance. Do NOT put it in a dehydrator for at least several hours. Better off to wait overnight; the finish will dull if put in a dehydrator too soon. Would like to see "Liquitex" results. My best results by far were protecting with Spaz Stix Ultimate Clear, airbrushed after the chrome was thoroughly dry. It barely changed the reflective appearance. Future was the worst, dulled it to silver. This stuff is nothing like Alclad or Spaz Stix chromes. Thankfully!

Wow, love this model and the real car is one of my favorite Mustangs of all time. Nice restoration! I need to restore the ones I have; one is better than the other. This is quite inspiring!

Molotow is so good I'll never use Alclad or Spaz Stix chromes ever again; Alclad black chrome is excellent though. Molotow airbrushed in wet coats, allowed to dry for a day or two, coated by Spaz Stix ultimate clear coat is pretty awesome. It's not as "perfect" as plated chrome, but still a huge improvement over the old standards. And plated chrome often looks too shiny. See for yourself; Molotow sprayed w/o clear, and Molotow sprayed w/a protective coat of Spaz Stix Ultimate Clear:

I suffer spontaneous Tourette's when I see the stock "die-cut foamcore" wheels and spontaneous narcolepsy every time I consider ordering one of these, so you might be waiting awhile... Had it been a 323 GTX I'd already have one built!
