Very nice! Beautiful paint, and perfect stance.

Great looking paint color and stance. Like how you detailed the factory Rally Wheels so that they look far better hear.

Very nice work and the monochromatic theme goes well with the lowered stance. Will be working on my first build of this kit later this winter.

Same here... maybe not this winter, but have one and I've never built this kit before.

I'll also add that I think this build of this kit is the first I've ever seen where the grille looks right.

Every other one I can recall seeing looked like the grille was put in upside-down. (in too far along the top, and sticking way out along the bottom)

 

Nice work, Jim 

 

I guess it's because 1:1 '79s have an ever so slightly different angle to the grille and header / filler panels... the fenders' leading edges have the same angle as the '75-77s, but the header panel and grille are a tinge more upright. Whereas the mpc model just kept the '75-77 shape with an updated '79 grille. So, even though it isn't 100% accurate, having it fit the angle of the '75-77 grille looks way better to me than flipping it upside-down to try and compensate for the difference... as the difference is pretty subtle on the actual car, never mind a 1:25 scale model.
