Great marketing! ...beating Moebius to the punch. Over all looks Sharp! but the "C" pillar looks slightly too fast back to my eye (may be camera angle)

Curbside?

I believe that is because the roof profile arc above the quarter window is too gradual.

A couple more things I noticed... The headlights need to be prouder in the shape of the bezels (more bug-eyed). Also, the front bumper is too thick and the radius of the leading edge is too large towards the outboard areas.

Kind of.

 

These are the source files that Iceman makes these kits from.

Andrey's designs vary, and some technically have an engine bay,  and some even have an engine. But the chassis and engine are pretty rudimentary, not entirely accurate. 

These files do print up VERY nicely though, and when sitting on the shelf, amongst your collection, will look fantastic!

 

And until one of the major brands steps up, Andrey's designs are the best option for oddball or different vehicles.

And if you don't have a printer, Iceman Collections does a great job with printing with excellent quality and reasonable pricing.

Yes, Andrey's stuff is really neat... I have several prints of his files from a variety of printers..interesting, off beat subjects like a '77 Impala 2dr and 4dr, '77 Caprice 4dr and wagon, '81 Malibu 4dr, '73 Olds Cutlass Salon 4dr, '68 and '73 Grand Prix, '67/68 Plymouth Valiants, etc... subjects that the major styrene kit makers will never touch.

I think it looks pretty sweet!
