....just bought a 1971 Riviera from R&R Resin,I'd seen one on BeelzEbay many moons past & it went for a bomb,forgot about it & recently stumbled across an old forum talking about the 'kit',checked & you can still get them.Apparently they're an old AAM resin re-cast,anyhow I Googled the coit out of it,pictures & comments,it looks like a nice unit once finished & is it just me? But that body style,with the arrogant lurching front end & that Beautiful boat tail rear.I think that body was one of the Best 'outside the square' designs to come out of your U.S.A. There was one parked in the front yard of a house near me for many years,fascinated me it did! I'll let you All know when it gets here.

.....It showed in record time,what a Nice fellow Steve is!
Well I have to say,I'm not disappointed at all,it's resin,so I new it would have a few hiccups,the body is on par with the injected stuff,badges/insignia are crisp & the interior/dash is just as good,other than a bit of resin bloom in out of the way spots,I can't see it being a prob' at all.There's a chassis which needs machining around the engine bay,as it was capped-off in order to mould.The only noticeable thing is,there's no inner guards,a lightly detailed firewall in keeping with it's injected counterparts.You get the seats,steering wheel,chrome front & rear bumpers,chrome grill,tail lights &a vacu-formed front & rear windscreens.
I'll get around to posting some photos soon,I still can't understand why the majors,AMT Revell etc,never bothered to make their own?
