Man that thing is neat! The doors look like they close nice & everything. My little confession.....I found a lot of Revell's models to be really difficult....especially for my remedial skills. I had a 57 Nomad from them that became one of many "accident scenes" Its pretty bad when you can make a model look better with a blow torch and a hot screwdriver over paint & glue!

This was and STILL IS a tough kit. Fitment was an issue then, and now. Good parts though, but some pretty bad flash then, probably now a lot better if they were to re-tool! Nice job on the flocking (never was my cup of tea, but still looks good when OTHERS do it). Ever think of doing a "re-make" of this? I KNOW you got it in you, and probably have the kit, too!

I KNOW you got it in you, and probably have the kit, too! thanks Tom! a lot of the flocking has come off i see. it's been at least 3 years since i got rid of it. i will post new pics when Bob sends me updates of the repairs. i don't have this kit and sorry to say will never get one again. these old revell and monogram kits with opening doors were really cool in their day! the prob is, they are really fragile, poorly molded and parts were just plain crap. to be honest, i don't think there is a single parts other than maybe the steering wheel i would use now. the whole thing is really poorly done. the body is not so bad...just the parts that came with it and i speak mainly of the engine and wheels...oh and the windows just barely fit the frames without falling through. kinda sad...cuz it's a cool looking car on the box!
