- Superbike Weekend at CTMP...I spent a few hours Sunday watching 2 races...those riders are very skilled :) *LINK*
- OT: A local TV news segment highlights the work of a small compnay here in MA that makes ship models. Many of the builds are commissioned by NAVY veterans, etc. *Video* *LINK*
- A bit off topic but still model related. We had our monthly club meeting this past weekend and one of the guys brought in this monster (unbuilt)!!! *NM* *LINK*
- That is a big plane. *NM*
- Nice ! Like the details. HK makes a 1:32 B-17 - *NM* *PIC*
- I have a B-17G in 1/48th, also an Avro Lancaster in 1/48th,and a Japanese "Betty" in 1/48th, with the numbers of the Betty that Admiral Yamamoto was shot down in. Back in the day(waaaay back), I had a Hawker Hurricane and a JU-87B Stuka, in 1/24th. Both loooong gone. *NM*
- I’ll see your “Betty” and raise you a P-38 Miss Virginia. *NM*

- And I forgot...Monograms 1/72 B36 Peacemaker,its a big model,36"span,the B17,24,29 & 36 were all built to hang in the shop window,now they keep each other company with the Zero & P51 in boxes with their wings beside them,I use screws hold the wings on thru the wheelwells. *NM*
- Andy D: Built most of those, many moons ago, except for the jets as the only jet I've built was the A-10 Warthog in 1/48th(not for me). Have NOT built Monogram's B-36, but I still keep lookin' at swap meets. Maybe some day, I'll get lucky and find one. *NM*
- John K., I have the Tamiya 1/48th P-38, and it will have the markigs of one of the P-38's assigned to the Yamamoto. Probably, one of the 4 assigned as "top cover". IIRC, there were 8 P-38's. Correct me if I'm wrong. Been wrong before. L.O.L. *NM*
- Kinetic models also makes a P-47 in 1:24 - *PIC*
- I believe that’s a $1,000 CDN kit in Canada. *NM*

- Finished! 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. *8 IMAGES*
- AMT kit never had the upper trim, not even the '71-'72 GMC Sierra Grande. MPC's '70 kit may have had it, their '71 and '72 did *NM*
- Anyone here try out Testors One Shot Mythical Maroon? How dark is it? I know primer color will affect it, just curious what anyone else experienced. Pics? *NM*
- Even as much as I like little weird cars, this is pretty over the top. Want a model, but not sure yet if I'd want the real thing. *NM* *LINK*
- How many do you need...? *NM*
- available in resing. AFV Club does one. Little pricey, if ebay is the guide. *PIC*
- Probably not the style most are interested in here, but here's my on the bench 84 GMC pickup. *PIC*
- That's going to be sweet! *NM*
- Gluing chrome trim rings and hubcaps to painted wheels. What kind of adhesive should I use? TIA *NM*
- I still wear a mask, regular flu can also do you in. *NM*
- I too recently received an order of fresh BMF.. and it is superior to the "Covid Foil." Color me very pleased. *NM*
- For folks that never heard it or those who lived during the '60s era and remember the gist of it but would like a refresher... *LINK*
- The movie done a couple of years later had a Canadian connection in that in the burial scene Joni Mitchell plays a song which is probably when a lot of people first heard of her. When the movie came out I was in the Army at Ft. Ord and it was put off limits to us as an
- A while back someone mentioned something (acetone?, lighter fluid?) they used to dissolve old Testors tube glue on old builds. Now that I need to do that, I can’t remember the fluid they recommended. Does anyone recall/know? Thanks! *NM*
- Anybody remember that funny pic of modeler's tools? The one with all the usual items, plus like a hammer, gun, etc.? Got a link or the pic? TIA! *NM*

- How about a silver thumb tack with the pointy end cut off. *NM*
- Parts by Parks has some real nice ones *NM*
- Hey Terry, Indycal offers some JPS decals, so if you wanted to give it a try again it might turn out really nice. I was doing some internet searching one night & saw artwork for this Johnny Walker C7R and thought it would make a neat model. So I made up my own decals for it. *NM* *LINK*
- I would like to share some models built by a fellow modeler, actually a Master Modeler who is a Icon in our Hobby *LINK*
