I have not. At least I don't think I have These cars changed almost weekly so you can pretty much don't rule anything out in how they appeared at any given point in time I have a Speed City resin 1965 AFX hardtop. I bought years ago before these Moebius kits were avail. I may just use it to build the topless version Melrose Missile , Someday

Thanks for the faith in me that I can actually pull it off. But I would prefer to build both the Paper Tiger 1 AND Paper Tiger 2 ( the sedan ) Plus I have the kit to build the Sox Martin 1965 A990 car that ultimately became PT 2 The current plan is when the time comes to build the Mule replica. It will be a crossram / carb car. Im gonna need more kits on the shelf As I only have one more of ea Dodge / Plymouth kits

I remember seeing a picture years ago. What i believe was very early in this cars life. And it was orange and still the cross ram intake . And that car had the big blue pentastar on the door and white steel wheels. But I can't find that picture now

Thanks, Gotta love the white fineline tape , Little hard to see white tape on a white car though. So I had my fingers crossed it came out like I wanted/hoped I think I can use the tires and wheels from the Revell Sox- Martin 67 GTX with very little mods . So we will see which way this goes Revell tires on the right. They have exact same width. Maybe 1/16" shorter OD . As far as doing both versions. That would be a ways down the list for maybe someday build

Its on to the next one These kits are all basically the exact same kit , just different body. So I started a mini assy line with about 3 different kits. In regards to power train. Chassis. Interiors and so forth Makes it easier to go together quick so to speak This is number 2 in line. And probably MY all time favorite drag from that period. Tamiya Paints, ( deep down I think the red 'should' be a tad darker. But I'll live with it ) And Im not 100% decided as to which color blue I'm going to use just yet. Might do a few different hood scoops and see which looks the best. I'm undecided as to just 'WHICH ' version I plan shoot for just yet. Mostly in regards to how the car is lettered, carbs versus Injected and/or wheel choice .. I painted both hoods, Just in case

Very good looking build. I like it . A lot. I might just have to build one of these for the shelf someday

Great looking car I've got to build one of these soon

Thanks. That's them I knew someone did. Just couldn't remember who And I broke the kit handles yesterday. But don't want to make it a parts due to such

Yes. Touch Tone version had some extras that the LR version did not Newer release of the TT version DOES NOT have all the extras the original issue had

Finally Red base left. White base right TS21 GOLD base center

In the garage with no direct lighting overhead

Outside Under direct sunlight

I'm playing with paint colors today. 3 very different colors All are 2 coats Tamiya Metallic Orange TS 92 just with 3 different base colors TS 11 is a dark maroon color on far left TS49 is bright red in center Last one far right is just the white spoon as base Over a very different base color yields 3 distinct colors Spoons are marked as to base color. I'm really liking the center one for a very near future build( not the next one) First. Under florescent lighting And yes. I know I can order the actual color for airbrush work. I'm just playing with what I have here / handy

I remember someone was making 3d printed door handles for these kits I need a set of 3 for the Moebius 65 Dodge/Plymouth kits due to breakage . And I really don't want to relegate this kit to a parts kit just because of that

A bump Mind if I ask the source for the wheels on the rear ? Kit tires I assume . if so how did you make them all fit Very nice build btw

Depends entirely on subject matter for me

Many thanks for the kind words I'm thinking its time to do the Sox Martin Plymouth here soon. Maybe even next Just need to make sure my old Fred Cady decal sheet is still good

A quick build for me. maybe even a record . LoL Start to finish in under 2 weeks I think Straight from the box build , with exception I used the Auto trans version of the engine from the Plymouth kit . To more faithfully replicate the original car back in the day Tamiya plain red for the exterior. Titanium gold for the Interior Started off just so see if the decals were even still good. Luckily for me. they went on perfect with zero issues( knocks on wood ) I tried to stay true to the actual car using vintage photos from old magazines . Details like the white door window frames on a red body . Wheel choice , etc etc. * A builders note If I do another one using the rolled front pan. I would cut it off the mounting tabs and glue it to the front side. I dont care for how it makes the bumper fit per kit instructions.

DONE. Start to finish in under 2 weeks. Which i think might be a record for me. Ain't it great to be retired. And I am super happy with how well it turned out.

Got a lot done today. Chassis is in for the final time. And it sitting on its own 4 wheels. With any luck , I'll have it done tomorrow, maybe Wednesday I'll go on record, I was extremely skeptical when these kits first came out. But I REALLY like how easy they go together, Although getting the side glass in , is a bit tedious.

I had it mis- spelled Since corrected it. And Thanks.

The paint AND decals went so well. I've decided to just keep moving along on this one, while I wait for paint for the Superbird kit. Decals went on without issue, except they were a little long overall. So, I had to trim them slightly right at the door seam to make them fit this body Chassis is about done. Engine is ready and, in the chassis, ( accs will get attached once its glued in place for the final time) Tires and wheels are done Interior is about done Pretty much box stock with exception I swapped the auto trans version of the engine from the Plymouth kit to more accurately represent Bud Faubel's original car. ** I should note. The original car had the typical Gold color interior. The current car ( no idea how much , if any of it is the original) But it has a red interior, which is obviously incorrect.

Looks like a 3rd generation hemi Must be some kind of aftermarket head conversion

I can't justify spending $125 on that new of a kit. Not when the stock issue can be so easy to replicate it with some parts I probably have in the parts bins. Another one is the Butch Leal 1965 SS Belvedere. I see bin listing's all the time at $100 and more. I've bought 3 of them in past 3 months and haven't paid over $60 for any of them.

This is Tamiya Titanium Gold
