Summer builds, 2 Torinos, 68 300 and a 69 gtx

[Nxr]

Well i really enjoyed building these over the summer and all but the gtx are pretty rare and cool kits, i gotta say these torinos are the coolest revell kits ever and i would so do 2 more with the red and brown stripe decals, some of the minor errors i know of are that cobras probably did not have those gt laser stripes but i couldn't resist using another out of the 4 given in the gt kit since i had 2 torino kits in the pile, i mean look at them! Would so do a kit of a twister special cobra, king cobra and ranchero cars of this year, and of course if they had one a stock cyclone spoiler with those cool gauges which should really be re released! The wiring in the cars is probably not the most accurate and i don't have any official update kits for the wires just sewing store items, excuse for any errors there but i tried to make it look better than bare, it is a model after all. The torinos both got 2 different tachometers installed on the column and dash, i liked doing those goes well. The Chrysler 300s interiors is a little too flat but still looks great, i don't think there is any color this car should be done in but black or white because its such a rare kit and looks so official and like a very powerful luxury cruiser.

The gtx i did in silver and added resin hubcaps and experimented with a blue interiors first time, the stripes are painted and also the stripe on the GT torino is probably not common on the hood but i saw a 351 car with that stripe on the hood so maybe its an option for that engine only i don't know but, i copied it on the hood anyway.

Also pictures of all my stock muscle cars, or slightly but almost stock i guess. Lol there is a picture of the desk and the mopar cars on it from a year ago in the picture of the desk with more cars on it.

Great looking collection.

[realgone58]

Very nice! I like 'em all!

[berr13]

Good lookin' fleet. What color is the RR?

[Nxr]

light yellow by testors, only about 3$ for 2 cans and a paint job, great deal and testors enamels give the same exact results model master enamels do

I wish my work desk looked like that!

Very nice looking models. Very nice work..

[freakshow12]

Very nice stuff. You are correct cobras had no laser stripes or the quarter panel trim. I built a twister special. I have done 6 torinos and have 9-10 more. I will have to get some pics up

I love that 300. I saw pictures once of one in Burgundy with matching leather buckets and a white vinyl top. That's probably what mine will end up as.

The only change I'd make is the area between the taillights should be semi-gloss black. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Chrysler_and_Imperial/1968_Chrysler/1968_Chrysler_Brochure/1968%20Chrysler-17.html

Overall, though, those are superb models. Very well done on all counts.
