I don't really strive for this sort of thing, but it's still pretty cool to see one of your models in print! Steve Steve Does the South African NNL feature in this issue? I stopped buying the Contest Annuals after they dropped the SA NNL. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the body is the dark gunmetal gray, it might polish up nicely! I polished up their Camaro molded in "pearl red" and it looks good. On a related note, I got a 1/24 diecast kit of a '17 (I think) Camaro that went together quickly and looks good. Maisto, I think? Anyway, I got it at Hobby Lobby 40% off.

Anyway, I got it at Hobby Lobby 40% off. No, it's just basic, plain, black from what appears to be an unpolished mold, the wheels are about all that received the Gunmetal treatment. They did fully paint the windows and tail lights though! If I don't do it tonight, I'll post out of box pics this weekend.

misterNNL Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I received 40 amber and red marker lights from Gregg Wann in Arizona. He posted they were available and I immediately contacted him to place an order. They arrived and are a great product.. He had originally cast them for use as truck cab marker lights but I scratch build antique travel trailers and use them for those. I recommend them.

br67 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Very happy with this recent score. Most of the stock parts are there too and it's all unbuilt. I'm thinking of building it in this configuration - white exterior with black nose stripe. Gold deluxe interior, 396 with an auto trans and red lines and stock type wheel covers from a Revell 65 Chevelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Finding a kit of this vintage that is unbuilt is amazing. I notice that several of the kit's box art in the background are also very old. Please post pictures of your build for all of us to enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here's a drawing of it. As you can see, pretty generic. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/mpc-68-camaro-stock/2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 These came in the mail today. 2 complete dodge dart models. Complete. The convertible was a crack in the middle of the windshield and some sort of brown stuff in 3 places. The sun visor and on each front fender by the headlights. I'm soaking it now to see if that will take whatever off. But a great price for them none the less. Both delivered for less than the cost of one.
