41CHEVY Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 Wich kit is that??I havnt done small scalers in some time,but I could imagine a couple of ways to build that. It is the 1/25 scale Trumpeter 1978 Monte Carlo kit, Very detailed kit of the 3rd gen Monte , trumpeter # 2505 . I'll do this on and maybe a early 80's street machine. Paul
Smart-Resins Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I never knew they did a pro-street monte!!Ill have to look around for one sometime now.Thanks for the kit #
Modellpularn Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 The Trumpeter kit is a stock only, looks to me it's been "back-halved" using parts from AMT's '67 Chevelle Pro Street kit. Right, 41CHEVY?

I'll post better pics of chassis mods and interior mods soon. Paul
bobss396 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Why is that so heavily clamped? If these a fit/warp issue or are you gluing a sub-assembly together? BTW, it looks great tubbed. I have a couple of those ERTL/MPC versions myself, turned one into a stock car. Bob

Bob I clamped and rubber banded it together to do the final fit of the chassis and the interior assembly. basically just test fitted together. I found NO warps or other issues with the kit. Paul
