No prob; here it is:

 

sorry guys wrong forum!

Bit disappointed with the quality of this kit. Appears a low part count with some annoying features including molded on door handles and especially, one piece chrome headlight lenses instead of clear plastic. I was really hoping for a convertible to go with my 2 DM late 60s Chargers, and particularly with the 1968 blue Plymouth Roadrunner, where I reckon an orange convertible would be a great match. Anyway, it is done except I just cannot get the rear-view mirror into position, for now! I’m quite pleased with how the interior turned out, external paint is OK but for some reason was dull in a couple of spots.

Geoff.  Great models.  I have both as well, and agree they were short on parts.  Loved your wood grain center console and steering wheel.  How did you do that?  Inquiring minds would like to know.

thanks John, I originally used this wood grain paint by itself but it didnt work too well, but then first applied the Tamiya brown 'base' on the GTX console and thats how it came up.

Who made the kit? Is it 1/24 or 1/25? You did a nice job on it despite the low parts count.

Rich:  It is made by AMT, and is 1/25 scale.

@rich-sufficool thanks Rich, what John said. I'm still irked by the chrome headlight lenses, and I stuffed up the paint touch up on the bonnet after cutting out the hole. Inconsistent AMT kits. The other 2 I've completed, the 53 and Model T Fords were full of intricate detail.
