  • Thanks Marty. That '39 Nash sure is cool! *NM*
  • Always loved the Chrysler 300... one of my fav's Resto Mod's. *NM*
  • Thanks Marty! *NM*
• Is there a Monkeemobile kit that has gold instead of yellow decals? *NM*
  • I'd look at the Round 2 reissues (there are two); those are likely to have the best decals of any of them *NM*
  • You might want to check with STS... If they don't have them already, they can probably make them for you. *NM*
• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • Gorgeous Chrysler convertible! *NM*
  • I find myself wanting to build that wickedly cool '68 Charger!!! *NM*
  • Thanks Bill!! *NM*
  • I'm digging that Mod Top!!! *NM*
    • Yes. The rarest of rare. "Blue/Green Floral" found only on '69 Satellites and '70 Barracudas. *NM*
• A sincere thank you to everyone for the comments and compliments on my gold 1970 Charger build. I appreciate them all very much. Thanks again ! *NM*
• Does someone make the side stripe decals for the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry 1969 Charger ? I only knew of Keith Marks, but he has stopped making decals. I would like to buy a set of those decal side stripes if there is a source. Thank you. *NM*
  • One of my first decal set I did...... *PIC*
    • Hi Dave. I just sent you an email. Thanks. *NM*
• The 250 Celebration Model Parade is ready to go and will be posted tomorrow morning. *NM*
• What's a good site to find out what body colors the 1970 Challenger T/A's came in? *NM*
  • Google wasn't being very nice to me. I finally dug pass the ads at the top of their list (very annoying). Now to narrow down my choices. So many nice colors... more inside
    • You may have been able to do a "stripe delete" on a T/A Challenger. I'll bet nobody ever did that though. Here is a link to a '70 Dodge factory ordering guide. They don't mention the colors or the stripes though. *NM* *LINK*
      • Here are all the colors. Real cars, not theoretical. *NM* *LINK*
      • That guide is for the dealers, not prospective buyers. I believe Chrysler cranked those cars out ASAP, to get them homologated...
        • Mark, I believe you are totally correct. Chrysler just built them whatever way was the fastest. You went to the dealer and just bought whatever they had. *NM*
  • I found this information on Google concerning the stripe delete on the 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. .......... *PICS* ..........
    • Here you go! *NM* *PIC*
      • Oops, that isn't a T/A. Well you don't see tons of R/Ts w/out the stripes either. *NM*
• Clean build, Craig...that yellow really pops. *NM*
• Call it an A/FX, I guess. Lots of cars modified like that ran that class IIRC. Very cool build. *NM*
  • thanks Bill I'll add that to the windshield *NM*
• New kits from Round 2. *NM* *LINK*
  • I'll be grabbing the Mr Speed Studebaker, a couple of thr 32 Chevys, and probably the Firebird F/C (A nice kit... Too bad that they mucked it up with the gold plating... That just looks cheap and cheesy, IMHO) *NM*
    • I feel you on the Firebird F/C. I'm gonna get me 2, 1 to build (stripping that gold chrome and spraying it with a chrome), the other I'm gonna keep for a much later date. I'll definitely be grabbing a Mr Speed kit, too. *NM*
    • The kit will probably reappear in a year or two, with other decals and regular chrome. The gold looks good on this version *NM*
• WOW!! How great is that!! *NM*
• I have 2 Corvette question for the kit historians.....
  • Flip front '57 is an MPC kit. It and the "stock body" version have alternated as there are two '57 bodies for that kit...
    • To add to what Mark said, believe the last issue of the stock-body MPC '57 was the Corvette Collectors Set from the 1980s *NM*
      • I'm pretty sure there was a 5-car set in the mid/late Nineties with it also. That set was out alongside the then-new AMT '57 kit *NM*
  • 1:24-scale Monogram/Revell '65/'66 Corvette....
    • Was there a Mk. II version of Black Rat / Street Machine?
      • Never had any of those, but I think there were two Black Rat issues...
        • 2X, but have a soft spot for the Monograms
  • Thanx Guys for the history lesson, I knew someone would have the answers *NM*
• I have a couple of the Salvinos Next Gen cars currently in the queue. I have read that they can be troublesome kits to build... My question is, what are the issues that I might need to deal with. *NM*
  • I have 4 or 5 of them and have yet to crack the plastic on any of them, I do know Clay Kemp built one on his youtube channel, I'm sure he would have addressed any issues on there. *NM*
  • Haven't had any problems with the NASCAR kits. Gave up on the Modified and have yet to tackle the Indycar kit. *NM*
  • The Salvino's modified kits are a challenging kit to build. *NM*
• Temp has surely reach a peak high in my world. *NM*
• Very Kool!
• Cool project! Can't wait to see more of it. *NM*
• Cool build *NM*
• New build. 1970 Dodge Charger 383 Magnum. Painted Y4 Light Gold Poly, one of my favorite colors. This is the Revell kit. It came with a Hemi, but I built it as a non R/T. .......... *PICS* ..........
  • Another winner! *NM*
    • Yes it is................ *NM*
  • Nice job, Scott! *NM*
  • Beautiful build. *NM*
  • MAN! That's sweet, I'm a sucker for that color! .....as for the return spring...you'll remember at the first turn of the key! : ) *NM*
  • Really really like this one, Scott! Amazing work! *NM*
  • Sweet!!! *NM*
  • Re:Gorgeous!!!..is the 383 from the 69'Dart? *NM*
    • Thank you. It's actually the 440 from the Revell 1969 Charger. Since the 383 and 440 look so similar in scale, I'm just calling it a 383. *NM*
  • Nice work!! *NM*
  • Very cool! *NM*
  • sharp build, looks great in gold *NM*
• Such a cool build so far.... Love the subject matter, but reading your description of the kit has convinced me that it's not for me... I struggle enough with your average everyday 1/25 scale models car kit. *NM*
• What a beast!!! *NM*
• Honestly, I wouldn't worry about figuring out what NHRA class it would've run in.... Its too cool that... Has more of a match racer vibe (back in the day, match racing is where the real money was anyway) *NM*
• Speaking of Herb Deeks... Jim Meehan asked me to post a pic of this cool little hot rod that he built using one of Herb's resin bodies.... *NM* *PIC*
  • Classic! *NM*
  • Love it! *NM*
• Re: nice *NM*
• That grabs attention! Nice work *NM*
• I met Hern during the early days of the NNL Nationals at Toledo...
  • We probably crossed paths, Howard. I was guest of the Great Lakes Model Fire Engineers who put on displays at the NNL Nationals that same day. *NM*
    • I also displayed with Greg and company a few times... *NM*
• Happy Canada Day...Eh :) ...from a car show in Napanee, Ontario...enjoy :) *LINK*
  • Happy Canada Day to you! *NM*
  • That red 63 Dodge simply speaks me! 😎 *NM*
  • We got to 66 Fahrenheit here. Might be in the low 80's by Monday. *NM*
• Don't think I've ever seen one of these given the AWB treatment. Really cool! *NM*
• Met him at a Whittier model show once, LOTS of his stuff in my stash RIP Prayers to family...
• Bob...those wheels were sort of a half-baked attempt to replicate a real 1/1 scale aftermarket wheel called "The HubCapper" that was widely advertised in Rod Action and Street Rodder mags in the mid-late 1970s. Glad you liked 'em! Cheers...TIM *NM*
• Met and spoke with him once at the former Toledo Toy Show where I purchased his 1/32 scale White truck kit. Nice guy. RIP, Herb. *NM*
• Herb was a nice guy, The modeling community will miss him. *NM*
• Gow Job....... *PIC*
  • That is super kool. Totally has "the look." *NM*
  • Re: nice...... *NM*
  • Way cool, CD. *NM*
  • That just makes me smile!!! *NM*
  • That's a neat build CD! *NM*
• I never use the center stuff just the imgsrc stuff. *NM*
• Super cool! *NM*
• It's a 1938 Russian Zis or Zil (I forget which) limousine. It was kind of a copy of a '36 Buick. *NM*
