That was great to watch, different from a couple guys I have also watched build. You were fast but clean and accurate the others were very slow and agonised over every part. They ‘knew’ the real thing and grumbled greatly when it didn’t comply. I would guess this car would have been a three (3) evening build maybe more. Now the finished models are always amazing !! Nothing like them! The sort of build that goes to shows wins or podium each time. I am not sure what I want to be, I am a returnee and boy have things changed in 45 years!!! Do you think it’s possible to mix both styles? A quick build but in a decent kit one day and a long slow build another day? I got it (I think) a slow and painstaking build in the cupboard and that allows time and space to build a good but quick kit as well!? Would that work? I’m thinking yes it would. You see I do love woodworking and I am returning to that as well after just as many years. Nothing satisfies me like the wood joining, finishing a piece with all the smells and pleasure it brings and screwing a screw in just the right amount and hear the woods joining together and I can make money with woodworking and not with building a ‘toy’ plane! So I need time, space and money for that as well. What a busy mess I could be!😅 Bob England

I built this in the early 80s, but it was a Monogram and was a GTX. I kind of stayed away from Monogram/Revell since they were 1/24th and everyone else was 1/25th. Although Monogram, Revell and Lindberg made much nicer and better detailed models imo.

They are electroplated with a thin coating of aluminum. It's never been much of a secret, they do the same with the metal looking parts on appliances, etc. Salvinos JR is the only plastic kit company using real chrome to plate their parts, they are even magnetic.

Hey! Pretty cool they re-issue this kit! I built the original release of it (was released in 2000) and this is the second re-issue of it (aka, they released it for the first time in 2000, another one 'round 2012 if I'm correct and this new release). It is a Revell, not a Monogram mold, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used Monogram's GTX as its base, as many parts are interchangeable between the two. Mine is really similar to yours, just with a blue that is a tad bit darker.
