peteski Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 What scale? Looks like 1:18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Pete, it is 1/24, dead nuts on next to my Danbury Mint '70 Charger.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Duh! Gene, I don't know why I glossed over the fact that you clearly stated the scale in the thread's subject line. I'll let myself out - thank you! I do have to agree that the level of detail and overall fidelity is something I would expect in larger scale model (like 1:18). That's pretty darn good!

Geno Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 LOL, no problem Pete, just glad to help out and put out the info for anyone interested. Blessings, Geno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Guys, this is it with the DM model.😊 Edited June 24, 2023 by Geno 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I hate you Gene. You forced me to order one as well, plus the '56 Chevy from the same seller that I have been eyeballing for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Steve, glad to push you off the fence LOL. I now have seven models from this manufacturer and love every one. I still have the '69 Nova SS coming. Here is the '56 for your enjoyment. I think these are the best NEW 1/24 models you can get short of Automodello, but they're several hundred dollars for curbsides.😏 Edited June 24, 2023 by Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) That is very nicely detailed. Almost makes me want to get one. I know I could not build one that nice any cheaper. Edited June 28, 2023 by Bills72sj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was you posting the '56 that made me start watching ePay for their diecasts. So, you are doubly to blame 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Between Gene and Helmut I feel like I am very vulnerable to their postings. 😄 Just ordered the Chevy pickup and the Charger, already have the 'Chevy.

Thanks Paul, I'm extremely happy with every model I've gotten from this manufacturer. These are the best "NEW" 1/24 diecast models out there right now. JMHO though.😊 Edited June 28, 2023 by Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Got my Charger and Bel Air today, but I haven't opened the box yet. I think a little detailing would make these things pop, maybe even some PE emblems if they are close to what is made for the plastic kits. I haven't seen the Nova on eBay, and the Brazilian Mavericks are a bit spendy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I got my Charger today also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Great guys, glad to hear. This is the Maverick I bought, the same $39.90. I just gave it some news shoes to make it a little spicier and detailed the interior. They look better than the wheels on the Brazilian models. Plus I love this color with the tan interior.

Smitty Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Beautiful models Gene. Looking at the grill of the Charger, I’m impressed by how ‘tight’ everything is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
