When the Satellite hardtop kit came out, I wondered how many versions would be out of the tooling ,,,and am still wondering how far they are from done. I have a Speed City Resin 1965 Plymouth AFX ( plus a few others ,,but that's the best one by far ) I have plans to paint it this summer and then build it next fall ,,I seriously doubt I'll change those plans . But its a good bet Speed City will dis-continue there resin version soon. The only other one I can think of is the MCW version

Chris, This is MY opinion only. It looks wrong. and at the level this build is at,,,,,, and considering the time and effort you've put into this one and the time you've put in this one . me personally I would fix it. Even it you just sand the edge where the white meets the blue on the roof, Scoot the edge / color separation line where it goes across the roof back ever so slightly ,,,,,Then change the angle where it comes down on the side of the roof to coincide with the angle of the window tin panel would be a major improvement Again, This build is WAAAAAAAAAAY beyond my capabilities that I could ever dream to to achieve . So my opinion may be moot point.

I also agree, But the 2 pics of the barracuda are in shade. the AFX car is out in the sun. Maybe its painted the wrong color,,,,,,,but I've seen the AFX car in person and burnt orange it is not. It most definitely has a bronze-ish / gold tint to it . FK5 burnt orange has a brownish - red look to it out in the sun . And I will get 'at least' a case when these hit the shelves. I've already told my LHS shop owner I want a case of the 1965 Plymouth Butch Leal A990 cars when they hit

Without a major retool......Imo.the only thing left is a convertible. Imo. The obvious choice would be a 63 dodge....but then i may be biased as thats on my top 5 list for cool cars. After all the 64 dodge and plymouth are already available

Chrysler had waht they refered to as suggested interior /exterior color combos. But.......if you ckd the right box you could get any color combo you wanted..

i will. I have both a 1959 and 1960 Edsel convertibles....both are near perfect mint in box examples. I didn't buy them for future collector value. I bought them to build.

I follow the Golden Commandos on Facebook. Jim Hall says the AFX car was a color called ' candy apple tangerine ' Jim is one of the former members of the Golden Commandos

FK5 Burnt Orange ( avail in 1970 only ) is no where near close to Turbine Bronze . I've never seen the Goldfish barracuda so I cant say one way or the other as to its color BUT, I've seen the restored Golden Commandos 1965 AFX car in person, and I assure you its NOT Burnt Orange. If I had to guess Its T5 medium bronze ,,or at least something close to it that was avail back in 64-65 time frame

They are part of the Hemi car pkg. Including auto cars, which would have the 8-3/4 rear axle ( plus some additional welded in bracing and gussets ) But its well documented that a lot of cars ( even 340 cars ) have been found with them. They were supposed to be on all convertibles .

enclosed torque boxes are part of the Hemi suspension...also found on some big block cars. As far as the front K member.....the only difference is The sway bar design was different between 69 and older versus 1970 and later

For me it depends on A - the finish I'm trying to replicate / achieve B - the quality of the finish/ gloss I ended up with straight out of the can . If I feel like its slick enough to rub out without too much effort I don't clear it. there's no clear on this .

I HIGHLY recommend the Missing Link grille. I have a few of them and they fit the Lindberg body perfectly ( never tried one in a Johan body )

Yep, thats it.

Same here. If it cant be built stock - via right out of the box or with minimal amount of parts interchange with the current 68-69 Charger kit. I'm not interested

Some of the Revell kits designed back in the sixties were the hardest to me. I remember trying to build I I remember was a red white and blue Panel it was a gasser I think,,,,, best I can remember it ended up in the trash ( after it went thru the crash and burn process )

I usually use super glue . put glue on the body with a tooth pick,,,,, then using tweezers set the part on top of said glue. Once done my builds go in the case to rarely ,if ever to come back out. So issues while handling is not a problem for me

Any one know details. ? Saw this posted on a Facebook group I belong to

I like it. especially the color And I was surprised when this kit was announced it WASN'T a slant six . I have a couple of the Lindberg slant sixes ,,,, and was thinking about doing a green on green sedan with it

Ever thought about your stash ( built or unbuilt makes no difference ) and took a good look at it? To ck the newest model it represents. (I'm not talking about the year the kit was produced ) . Simply the year it represents or replicates. I was down in the family room / stash area this morning looking for something and it hit me. I think the newest one in mine is about 1974 or 75 and even its a slant nose Vega funnycar . So whats that say about me,,,,,,,,I'm old . lol

Agreed, a major portion of mine are never painted - unpainted bare plastic. , some are painted and stripped ( bought them that way ) I do have a few that are still in paint,,,,,and even most of them look to have been painted when they were new . And I've bought A LOT of builtups in the past 2 years and not one came from said seller . Outside of maybe 1 or 2, I have no worries about body and/or paint issues on any of them. So IMO if its already in primer chances are theres a reason . I screw up enough on my own ,,,I dont need any one elses help doing so. Ps, to get this back on track, I for one would LOVE to see a board or even just a sub forum on this board on nothing but old screw bottom annuals ,,be them stock or customs from back in the day

Someone was / is ? doing the body to replicate this car. But good luck finding decals for it .

There was a member here that bought one of his restored builders. In a pm we talked and he didn't seem to be to impressed with the quality . He's had a few kits that were on my want list. But they've always sold for more than I was willing to pay. Thats the nice thing about Ebay, if you miss out on one ,,,just be patient ...... there WILL be another one along shortly. I guarantee it

Unless the vendor in question has earned my trust to give them some leeway on time / delays ( and I can count them all on one hand ) Mad , Missing link , Speed City Resin , Slixx and Modelhaus are my top 5 Otherwise . my order better be in my hands prior to the time limit I can file a dispute with my credit card company
