My 1st one I bought a few weeks ago the figure is MIA. To be brutally honest, Im not sure I really care One of these will be a Charlie Allen silver and blue SS/E car. Im not sure if this 2nd one will be a Landy car.....or something else I have a Landy SS/A dart in the case already, And the 68 Charger + 65 AFX car. My plan is build the 68 and maybe the 69 Coronets later ( I have kits to do both )

Got a 2nd one this week. This kit is getting pricey. Just have to be patient for the right deal to come along.

Very well done Nice color combination
-
Thanks all, I think Im going to go ahead and put the side stripes on it to match my old car I was originally goign to go a full detail build with chassis and drivetrain from the AMT Duster. But ultimately decided to just keep it box stock call it done Paint is just Tamiya light blue metallic. That took A LOT of clear and polishing to get any kind of gloss. I ended up burning thru a spot on the hood is why I kept pushing it back. Finally, just said heck with it and finished the car this week . In my display case , I will live with it. AFTER I fix that exhaust leak , LoL

1967 Barracuda bucket seats

I'll dig that box out and confirm And post Pics this weekend -
I was so glad this kit was reintroduced Ive wanted a replica of my old car for ages. I actually have an original MPC builder I started years ago. But the tail light bars got damaged . So it went back in the box , Still there to this day So I started this build back right after the kit came out. For one reason or another. It got pushed back more and more . I decided to get with it and finish it this week . Built box stock trying to replicate my old car . I kind of like it without decals, , so for now I think I will leave them off

1967 Barracuda bucket seats
gtx6970 replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have several 69s I've parted out if you want the seats / interior tub -
This is the engine from the Lindberg / AMT 1964 Dodge - Plymouth kits It has a single 4 barrel intake option as well
-
Keep in mind the early B-RB engines have a 4 bolt valve cover. as opposed to these kit suggested engines use a 6 bolt valve cover IF that tiny detail makes a difference to you in scale

I think I got hold of a bad sheet of BMF ( bought it off Amazon ) Ive used the Molotow pens in the past with good results. and is what I will use to touch this one up Actually used one to do all the trim on a Thunderbolt build about 8-10 years ago. And it still looks good But Ive learned you have to use a new pen , or risk drip issues. Found that out the hard way earlier this year
-
Any issues with these kits to build I need to be aware of.? I have the 65 Plymouth AFX kit on the bench for next up to do Paper Tiger 1
-
After numerous setbacks with BMF ,'Ive decided to call this one done ( or at least until I get into town to pick up a fresh chrome pen for touchups ) Tamiya black and Nassau blue for the interior . Front bench seat is a scratchbuild using a spare rear seat . with Scale Motorsports decals Lindberg kit with some pieces from the Color Me Gone 64 Dodge Aftermkt decals which turned out to be extremely fragile once on the body. So they are under a couple coats of Tamiya Clear Parts box tires , Resin AFB carbs and prewired dist for a touch of upgrades underhood . I dont get into a lot of detailing , And I dont do contests . So my builds are for me and me alone. That said,,,,,Im not 100% happy with it. But Im calling it done and put it in the case and move on. Hope you like it , comments welcome,,,,good or bad. You're not gonna hurt my feelings one way or the other.

Looks good I built one of these maybe 8 years ago. As a self imposed 24hr build. One of my favorites to this day

What would YOU like to see as a model
gtx6970 replied to JeroenM3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
None of the above interests me. You asked. Then again....pretty much nothing newer than very early 70s does much for me. -
Anyone know if these decals are avail gold to fit the Revell Olds 442 W30 hood Friend of mine just bought the car
