MsDano85gt Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 This ones a pretty Basic kit of the 80's mpc Era pretty good detail for way back in the day though I thought the decals would be a darker blue like the box art, they are actually a lighter blue, once laid over the white paint they look good I want to say i came across some real pics of 1:1 cars with the lighter blueish looking stripework...... overall the decals lay down well as long as you trim them as close as possible to the edge of the decal the front bumper i did have to (remove) the rub strip so the decal on the front bumper would wrap around and lay flat on to the progress so far...... this rear decklid decal was tricky i has to eye up and cut in 3 sections as it would not lay down correctly wrapped around the trunk lid/ spoiler this pic not only shows the rear of the car but i stood up one of the stock Shelby wheels that i drilled out all the holes for more realism and a more real car rim look I have several other of these kits and look forward to doing many variations of them lets get some of this other stuff in under glass first lol
Moparkid13 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I don't know whynobody has commented on this kit, I for 1 would love to see this one finished I love these little cars I've had to 1:1 Shelby chargers and theyre quick little boogers!
Stray Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I've never heard of this car. Looks like a cool little kit though. Good stuff
cobraman Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I never saw the original post. Looks like a cool project. I don't see many of those built.
MsDano85gt Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 they are fun little kits...... the newer late 80's early 90's daytonas are cool to the 3 n 1 kits 2-3 engine options including small block 340 v8 front wheel drive setup and nice chrome "moroso" valve covers.... also have a less heard of harder to come by plymouth horizon tci
Modelmikey Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Cool start, love the odd ball kits! Sleeper car in real life for sure! Check out the '88 Daytona I didhttp://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82819&hl=%2Bturbo+%2Bdaytona
