My Wifes Satellite

Familiar story (married life is all about compromise ); very nice model. Great color combination. Gotta love those Tamiya paints and the way they polish out.

Thank you once again everyone. It's not often that you get to build a model of one of your 1 to 1 cars, even if I didn't get to drive it. LOL

Al, that thing is shiny enough I believe I could shave in the reflection from here, awesome job dude!!

Nice build of quite rarely seen kit. These cars are really nice, I need to build one some day. Your paint work is incredible, so shiny and smooth, just like brand new 1:1 scale car. Overall very nice build, and great story too. Those are always neat to read.

Al - That is one super Satellite ! It looks great in that FE5 Rallye Red with white interior and top .

You know , you could have ordered that Satellite with a 400 HP (383's replacement) and a 4-speed , right ?

Ya I know. Ours had a 318 w/auto trans and a console and floor shifter. A very pretty car, just not what I was dreaming of. Edited July 29, 2013 by Porscheman

Al, as neutered as the GTX was by that point, would it really have been that big of a step up from the Satellite other than in name and a bit more horsepower? I had a '71 Road Runner with a 340 4 barrel, and it was a slug (Not to mention it was possessed by Satan, but that's another story), my 318 2 barrel '72 Charger was faster, and it loved my and didn't want me dead!

Any way you look at it, it's a beautiful model, what ever happened to the 1:1?

This is new to me...I don't think I've seen either a kit or a 1:1 of these cars.

The paint really is very well done. A crisp build all-round.
