fseva Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I have had a very difficult time with Revell's Pontiac GTO and iterations like "The Judge" - the ones that require the hobbyist to assemble the front end out of 2 parts that don't exactly fit together without a lot of body filler, etc. Then, there is this one by Testors, that features a metal body that is pre-decorated... I'm wondering if anyone here has actually built one of these kits, and can tell me if it'd be worth trying to find one on eBay...
ferrarijoe Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I built it years ago. Still have it in storage. I think the doors had issues. I will try to get a pic later tonight after race.
Snake45 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I passed up a chance to buy one of those CHEAP at a close-out place a couple years ago, because I already had this 1/24 diecast I paid $10 or so for at a local gas station. Not perfect, but for $10, cool enough for my shelf at work. Meanwhile, back at the Monogram kit, I know exactly what you mean. That front end piece doesn't fit well, but it IS workable with a little model-fu. I rebuilt a gluebomb '68 a while back and it came out pretty nice IMHO.

Nice job on that front end. I am still gunshy - you know - twice bitten, etc.

Doors having issues would not surprise me in the least, since many early diecast makers couldn't seem to get the doors to be operable and still have minimal reveals next to the doorjams.
