Looks like a nice little project.  I like that body style.

I too have been trying to score a 66 Marlin kit (molded in blue) for sometime and I just picked one up from eBay yesterday. I never thought I'd be paying well over $100.00 for a model kit although I have several times now for some hard to find complete kits. 

Welcome aboard, Mike! Good to have you here!

Thanks! and Hello to you. You do look a bit familiar? Lol.. I stop by from time to time to listen to worthy opinions and insights on kits that I'm interested in purchasing. I've missed out on numerous Marlins on eBay's auctions and I just couldn't let this one slip away.  Funny thing is..when I was a kid I thought they were a odd/ugly car. This kit will sit nestled on a shelf along with many others waiting to be brought to live..that is..when I can get the time to build them.

I have an original flat-box Marlin I got in the '60s and started. Got as far as painting it. I really need to dig that out and finish it up one of these days.
