Hi, I'm from McKinleyville, California where I've lived for the last 70 years where I grew up building models in my childhood until a teenager. Got into the real deal and started drag racing the last 30 years a 64 Comet B/FX  Replica and wife races 69 Mustang Fastback. Twenty years ago I purchased a resin 64 Comet body from Modelhaus and donor Revell Russ Davis 64 Thunderbolt Kit to complete the build, well its time to finally build this of my car but never worked with resin before so have lots of questions and have six more cars, pickups I owned that I would like to duplicate.  Thanks,  Jim                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            IMG_0010.JPG.bd21e7f7c824aab849c889fe42be6638.JPG

Welcome aboad.  That Comet looks Bad to the bone.  Lots of good folks here to help on your resin questions.

Welcome to the forum, Jim. The Comet is wicked cool. There is a lot of information on the site about working with resin. Any specific questions you may have, try a post in the 'Question & Answers section of the forum. Cheers.

Welcome Jim.

 

I don't know if you realize it, but the '64 Comet Caliente kit is available again in plastic from Round-2.

If you're not entirely comfortable or versed in working with resin, you might want to consider going with the styrene version.

Yep, I've seen those kits. The body I've got has open hood, engine compartment. I already cracked the post, vent window just handling it when I was cutting and fitting the chassis. I hope CA glue will hold or use maybe epoxy to fix.
