Just found this forum. I design photo etch detail sets for model cars. Revell has just released an all new kit of the Starsky & Hutch Torino. I am developing a detail set that will fit this kit.

Hoping the members might help me out with the exact badges/scripts that will help convert this model into all the other trim versions. I have a pretty good grasp on them all (I have the dealer brochure) but good clear pics of specific trim can be hard to find or decipher.

Hope you guys will help make this kit a complete as possible. I hope it's OK to post a similar thread in the General Section.

Welcome Tim!
My Tomato is a factory 460, floor shift, console, bucket seat car that I building into a TV season 2-4 S&H clone. Would love to see the parts made available so that I can convert the Revell 1/25 S&H Torino (as well as the Ertle 1/18 scale S&H) in models of MY car!
 
Would be happy to help in any way I can....
 
GOOD LUCK

Thanks guys!

John, the kit does have the chrome wheel trim molded on the body. It would have to have Bare Metal Foil applied in the finishing stage. It looks like the builder of the box art model did not do that.

Still looking for any detail pix you guys can come up with. This is not just for S&H cars, but any 74-76 Torino. All trim models.
