Monogram 70 GSX kit with real metal parts

[70sLark]

Monogram 70 GSX kit with real metal parts kit.

I saw the auction come and go, then it was an invalid item.

Searching my cache I found it again and thought id ask the seller.
Well the buyer was deadbeat.

I foolishly made him an offer to not relist it.

I got the kit today and it is what it is.

The model kit itself is all there though its all lose parts.

But the extra metal parts kit is real.

Made by Performance Detail Products [for auto models]
part number DK-4 writen on it.

Has a nice instruction page that says copyright 89-90
And has a small sheet of think metal parts for like the shifter plate, grill area, license plate frame, grill logo, door lock, steering wheel spokes, package tray speaker covers and so on.........

Soon as battries charge up Ill get a pic.


Though I am already building a Revell GSX kit and won't be touching this one.
As I now remember why I stopped doing them. I don't have the skill to do it right but don't want to slap it together.

So I may have to unload this Monogram kit with its special thin metal parts add-on kit to someone who is a pro builder who can do it all right.

I'd like to see pics of it. I have a few Grand National unbuilt kits left and a couple GSX kits unbuilt yet.

So I am assuming they aren't made anymore? That's an awesome thing..

Yea i don't know, I did try to google them with no luck.

Awful neat that someone would go to such efforts.
And id bet though that there are more of these for other cars out there somewhere. In a dusty box in an old hobby store as no one wanted them but how many knew you could get such a thing???

Those Performance Detail Products photoetch metal detail frets are pretty rare, the company was only making those along with some other ones for GN/GNXs, '64 Ford Thunderbolts, '63 Galaxies, etc. for a couple of years then they closed out, I have a catalogue of their stuff from back in the day.
The Model Car Garage set is also a nice product. I sent some litrature down to him a few years ago so that he could do a some pieces of our Canadian Beaumonts and Acadians to add to his Chevelle and Nova line of photoetch parts and you'll see them on those items so you can build your own Canadian version of these GM musclecars.

Good score on the PDP item!
