- You bet! I just got the block hugger headers last week and while they're beautiful, they stick out too far and don't tuck into the frame. They look great though and will be used on a different project.
- Thank you Matt & Dawn, my kits arrived today. *NM*
- Another one bits the dust. PICs I picked this up at our contest in March and I haven't built a Tamiya kit is awhile and it was very enjoyable.
- These are pretty cute. *PIC*
- What would be a unique color to paint the AMT '68 GTO? I'm looking for a color in a spray can. Any suggestions? *NM*
- OT: *VIDEO* How AMT Saved Star Trek (kinda) Galileo shuttlecraft *LINK*
- For Bob Kremer. *PICS*
- Very OT....I have a "Reed Prince" screw driver, but have never run into a Reed Prince screw that I know of. What's up with that? *NM*
- Got my MPC 71 Demons and 68 R/T convertible today!
- hemmings.com has a story on a 1965 Great Dale 'house car' on its website. *LINK* *PIC*
- Has anyone bought tires from Modelhaustires.com?
- Street Machine version, blue box art and the blower *NM*
- Marty Neyrinck, I sent you an email. *NM*
- Bob, Terry Jesse's article (can't remember if it was Scale Auto or Car Modeler) used actual colored ink to do the outlines, I'd check with him for details if you can't find the articles *NM*
- That's why I keep a tub of Super Clean nearby--it's like having a mulligan at the ready and takes the edge off the frustration *NM*
- I actually had some good luck placing painted bodies near a dehumidifier. Not sure it did wonders for the dehumidifier, but the paint cured pretty nicely *NM*
- PIF #3: a set of American SATCO red line tires...*PIC*...
- PIF #2: a set of American SATCO gold line tires...*PIC*...
- PIF #1: a set of American SATCO blue line tires...*PIC*...
- MANY thanks to Ed T for the Firebird headlights! In response, I'm offering three PIF's. *NM*
- 70 RAMCHARGER CUDA.... Mike L I built this back when kit first came out and forgive me but I think the decals came from Firebird Decals I'm pretty sure I'm working my memory. PIX and thanks for looking
- Okay, who's doing the 25th scale hydroplanes?? *PIC*
- I've created flexible hose by winding light wire around appropriate diameter tubing, wrapping with teflon tape, painting, remove tubing----PICS
- OFF THE BENCH... Tomorrow they will be off to Indiana to the house of Chuck Cochran. I really enjoy doing them. PIX and thanks for looking
- That’s why most of my recent stuff is in prep stage. Once the painting begins, that’s when I start sweating bullets. *NM*
- For some reason, I’ve always had the best results with brake fluid. Anything else just doesn’t remove as much of the paint. *NM*
- Do you really need a dehydrator for the paint to dry? Also, what’s making the plastic do that? Too much clear plastic added to the pellet mix during the plastic injection molding phase? *NM*
- Is the AMT '69 Firebird tooling/kit actually the MPC '69 Firebird? *NM*
- Weird and wonderful. *NM*
- Bummer! *NM*
- Appears to be based on a Honda N360 (?). Hasegawa did a kit in 1/24. *PIC*
- Happy belated Anniversary to you both. Quite a milestone today. *NM*
- The 3 in 1 issues of the '78 Z/28 and Trans Am have them too *NM*
- Build details? Kinda like where this is going. *NM*
- Very cool stuff, I like weird! *NM*
- All right now Revell. It's high time you reissue your S&M Cuda kit. Except this time maybe issue it as the Ramchargers Cuda! *PIC*
- Great variety of weird stuff - love it! *NM*
- Terry...neat models...re the Cavalier Mad Max, what are the tyres?...the original kit tyres tend to melt...I'd be replacing those if they are the originals. *NM*
- I have GOT to get around to building my Dragonfly...and I LOVE Spaceman Spiff! *NM*
- OT: My wife sent me this pic and I had to post it here. Maybe inspirational... If anything, I'm hoping this brings a smile to your face *PIC*
- IF you want to see video of my wifes 75 Mustang II Ghia....... *LINK*
- I think Scale Modeling by Chris produced those. *NM*
- Like them all!!!! *NM*
- One of them racin' deals. Let it dry thoroughly, then scuff it and strip *NM*
- Alk is for soaking, conserves the ELO and is benign to the plastic
- Just saw a YT vid with the King talking to Dale Jr. - said this was his favorite race car of them all
- Been there done that... The new Chinese plastic doesn't play well with a dehydrator. In my case they both sucked in. I was able to save my 68 Chevelle and I'm still working with the other. *NM*
- What did the Joker say.... Where does he get those toys or something to that effect. 5th Element, Capt Nemo, Love them. *NM*
- BOB KREMER YOU HAVE MAIL. *NM*
- Depends of what you want to strip. My go-to is purple SuperClean. If you're using CitrusStrip, test it on a spare part--I had it melt a Revell-era 58 Thunderbird chassis topside *NM*
- DOING A VINYL TOP... for my PenPal in PA. He wants to build his dad's car. Plus I have the paint color he needs. PIX and thanks for looking
- David, does it strip chrome and the lacquer coat underneath? *NM*
