Had some time out of shop------

Post by DesertRat »

My son-in-law bought me this kit over a year ago. I decided to build it a couple weeks ago-----

Cool! Have been an off/on model builder most of my life.
Monogram Nascars of the 80s probably my fav but never got into the other expensive brands.
I've never found a decent 64 kit.

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

VERY cool model! It looks like you have much better modeling skill than I do. I built a ‘64 Cyclone model many years ago to mimic my Cyclone when it was red. I also found this vintage Aurora model many years ago but never built it. I am sure both of them would now be a rare find.

The unbuilt Aurora kit, it is smaller than 1/25th:

1/25th scale Cyclone, I cannot remember what brand the kit was:

Thanks Jim: I didn't do that good with the 65 model but I am happy with it. The kit is actually the Dyno Don Nicholson car but I won't put the decals on it. Your 64 model looks good too. I would like to find a 67/68/69 Barracuda coupe as that is my current daily driver. I might find the time to build that one:-)

Those are cool. I thought about building an ocean tourquise 65 Cyclone model for my Dad but never got around to it. He bought one new and I came home from the hospital when I was born in that car.
This picture was taken in the summer of 1969, yes that is my Dad holding me in front of his Cyclone.
