1969 Chevy Yenko Camaro, Fast & FuriousPublished: February 3, 2020 The model I am reviewing here is one of the cars out of the second movie in the Fast & Furious endeavors.

1957 Chevy Bel AirPublished: April 21, 2016 The '57 Bel Air is truly one of the most beloved cars in the history of the automobile. Its unique styling is unmistakable. I was thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to build Round 2's newest creation. It is released under their series of cars entitled "the Car Culture" series. Everything comes molded in white so to me that's a good thing. It has no flash and the entire car is very… more |

1955 Ford Panel TruckPublished: February 3, 2020 The 1955 Panel Truck is considered to be a part of the F100 Series that lasted up until 1956. It was a sturdy and reliable vehicle for the blue collar workers of the day. I decided to build a vehicle around the same look, with the custom parts added, to a truck that closely resembled my uncle's truck for his catering and restaurants needs. He meant a lot to me and I was very excited to see… more |

Curly's Gasser 1940 Willys CoupePublished: September 6, 2015 This proved to be a fabulous kit with both the tilt front end 1940 Willys Coupe as the subject matter, and the nostalgia provided with arguably the most beloved and popular individual of The Three Stooges, Curly Howard, as the backdrop. I was so impreesed with the car itself. It went together so seamless, without any… more |

1963 Corvette Split Window CoupePublished: August 15, 2015 I was excited for the opportunity to build a truly wonderful American classic. In 1963 the Corvette had a base price of just under $4400. dollars and came in right under $5,000. for the fully loaded sport coupe . This model is one of the best offerings that will be coming out this year in my humble opinion . The car comes with all the accessories to build three different 327 c.i. power plants… more |

1959 Cadillac Eldorado HardtopPublished: February 10, 2020 This release is part of an extremely popular series of models that goes under the Revell California Wheels collection that's been out for quite a while now. This particular Cadillac is actually the Eldorado Seville, of which only 975 cars were ever produced by the factory. It most certainly has it's influence with our fascination for space and the jet age that came into vogue back in… more |

1969 Mercury Cougar EliminatorPublished: February 15, 2015 The newest offering of the 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator was well worth the effort for the folks at Round 2 to re-release this wonderful kit again. It was a kit that's parts went together very smoothly and without much flash on them. The real car, when I did my research to build this model came in only four colors. And they were orange, yellow, white, and blue which their actual… more |
