Where are you guys seeing decals???

keep going!

Keep going where???

[Harry P.]

Nowhere ... but this project will obviously require decals, unless caine440 plans to hand-paint the Landy markings.

Oh, I get it. You guys are assuming he's building a race version and that he has the decals. Looks to me like more a stock version of the car. He never did say that he has the decals, so I was wondering what you guys were seeing that I wasn't!

Hello All

Yes this one will be based on the White hat special Super Stock car.

The kit is this one.

Every now and then there is a vendor on ebay that sells packages of kits with decals. Bought a couple of packages off him. I am not sure who made the decals but they are not bad, some of the contingency decals are a little blurry and will be replaced with some slixx decals.

Thanks

Great start on a awesome car! One of my favorite rides.

Caine, if you come across an extra decal set, let me know...i really want to build this car!!

I know of who Caine440 is talking about. These decals where originally done by Decals by Gooche. I believe I got mine from Special Appearance Decals but, they are no longer registered on Ebay, I believe. Sorry about that guys. Just have to keep an eye out I guess.

By the way Caine440, looks good. Keep it up.

Great build.

I love the picture of the 1:1,

with Dick behind the wheel with his white hat on.

probably had a cigar in his mouth, too.

should be a nice model when your done.

Here are the latest photos.

I still want to clear coat it and then I will start final assembly.

Hope you like it.

Looks great.

I saw a 1/18 scale diecast of this recently.

one great Coronet.

[caine440]

Latest photos.

Just about ready for final assembly.

Thanks for looking.

Lookin' good so far. I would like to do that one as well. I have the decals and a kit to do it with. I have to order the 1967 Dodge Dark Blue metallic from MCW to do this one. The Revell 1967 Charger has a set of Cragar S/S wheels, as Dick ran Cragars on just about eberything he raced. I just do not understand why Revell insists on including Keystone Klassics where Cragar S/S are the accurate wheel. The Dick Landy 1968 Charger kit also suffers form this.

Now there's a signature that needs reduced.

Now there's a signature that needs reduced.

Maybe one day, but not yet. The signature is a model I built of my recently deceased Father's '60 Bonneville Convertible. He died one month ago.
