70 Torinos

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

This is the new Revell kit.  I really enjoyed the kit.  It's not bad at all and is an improvement over the old kit, but it does have its issues.  With the carb on the hood sits too high.  With it off the shaker sits too low.  I glued the shaker straight to the hood and took the carb off to fix the problem.  I also had a bit of a problem with the front an rear end fit, but it came out looking good anyway.  I love the new stripes and emblem decals.  they look great!

The red car is the old kit for comparison.

Wow! Nice pair Eric.

As an aside, I always wondered if the design features of the XA Falcon Hardtop released here in Australia in the early 70s was based on the Torino.

Pretty sure it was; they are both Fords after all.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these kits. Your Torino looks great in that colour. The red one looks good too. Well done Eric. 

Cheers,
