- How do you make old plastic model cars look new?
- I've been collecting these 1/43 GTO's in different colors and I just got this white one. It was very discolored so I put it in some bleach. It's nice and white now. I didn't do the interior yet because I wanted to show you ............... *PIC* .......
- Check it out.... The first fresh car show photos of 2023!!! Images from the 40th Annual Quad City's Rod & Custom Car Show, in East Moline, Illinois.... *PICS* *LINK*
- I received issue 217 of MCM today (see below), those Mercedes car haulers are so cool! Especially the one that is lit up. I need to figure out what he used and how to work it in one of my next projects. That looks like fun. *NM*
- Thank you Matt and Dawn! My order arrived today. *NM*
- For those of you that subscribe to Model Cars Magazine, do you have the 1 year or 2 year sub? *NM*
- If I spray Testors Dull Cote on tires, will it dry?? Thanks. *NM*
- Just got the Monogram '55 Chevy kit (ex Badman), and it is very cool. The new wheel are very nice, and the best part is the large stars and stripes decals are in sections to fit around side trim. Like to see a kit just like this with a '56 Ford in it. *NM*
- Looks great, I love it so far! *NM*
- MOVING ALONG... PIX and thanks for looking
- DONE....PIX and thanks for looking
- Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
- Anyone out there have any of these highlighted parts lying around not to be used?...PIC
- Poll about American Diorama figures. I've heard mixed reviews on their 1/24 figures. What is your personal opinion on their figures? Do you have any? Do you use them on your model displays? *NM*
- Any body know of a kit or aftermarket source for coil over shocks *NM*
- Friday Evening Randomness..... ENJOY!!!! *PICS*
- Did the AMT '37 Chevy Coupe originally come with fender skirts?? Thanks. *NM*
- I have the Aurora(sp) DB4, is that more or less desirable than the ones you guys are talking about?? Thanks. *NM*
- Love 'em. *NM*
- Probably old news, but have it on good authority that all new tool 67-72 Chevy C/K 10 pickup kits are in the development stages *NM*
- Waaay OT question for the music, or at least guitar experts...
- 1/1 news: Robbie Knievel, son of the late Robert 'Evel; Knievel--has died. Pancreatic cancer. *NM* *LINK*
- Big thank you to Jim Meehan! Received the helmet in yesterday’s mail. *NM*
- My X-11 build *NM* *PIC*
- Has anyone been able to buy the new RoG "Chrome" spray at an LHS or via mail order yet? Looking everywhere in MoTown and no luck *NM*
- As if I didn't already have enough projects... *PICS*
- Re: How about some old Porsches? *PICS*
- Issue 217 *PIC*
- Another question about Revell kits. How well does the chassis from their Willys pro street Coupe match up with their 40 Ford Coupe/Covertible? I don't have either of the Ford kits, but just wondering if this would be a feasible project down the road. *NM*
- '69 RR annual box has a Petty #43 car on the side panel...but that's the year Petty was racing Fords! *NM*
- Looks like a lot of fun, here's a youtube video
- Nice color combo and looks great with those wheels. *NM*
- Announced yesterday on what would've been Carroll Shelby's 100th birthday--Goodwood will be honoring his achievements at the Revival this year
- Scott: Thanks for posting these. Early NASCAR and short track kits are among my favourites. I had a number of these when I was a kid, but cut up many of the box covers to put up on the wall in my bedroom. Boxes didn't tend to be kept anyhow, but somehow...
- Salvino got here from doing "sports collectibles"; they seem to be using that business model with the kits. I'm guessing they will eventually offer this kit without decals, in more readily available numbers *NM*
- Looks like a reprise of the HoK colors - great selection but hot as a $2 pistol in Jackson MS on a Saturday night
- Okay - good! To restate for fellow modelers, submit the order, and you will sort the lowest practical ship price.
- Interesting find..
- I agree, Marck C. You've said it better than I could have. *NM*
- How would you guys rate the Revell '40 Ford Coupe and Convertible Street Rod kits? *NM*
- I built the ProModeler convertible when it was first issued, as the street rod. I don't recall any issues. Terry Jesse had an article in the January 2001 issue of Scale Auto on building the stock version. I also have the coupe street rod and the standard kits but haven't
- sorry, don't remember the issue, but Tim Boyd had an article on combining the street rod and the stock one. Like usual, it was a great read and an imaginative build. *NM*
- And if you want to upset the purists, build one as a 1940 Ford Deluxe Roadster, no wind up windows & small chrome dots along the door outside edges for the clip on windows......approx 30 genuine 1940 Ford Roadsters were built by Ford in Oz, a mate has a 1:1 version....lol. *NM*
- The convertible is probably the single best '40 Ford kit out there, and mine's not even completed yet, just painted. *NM*
- So, Mike L, both Revell 40 Fords are excellent--clean tooling, great detail, good decals, etc. I did have trouble getting the running boards and rear fenders to line up and fit to the bodies as well as the old AMT kit with one-piece assembly. *NM*
- If you want to make it more prototypical, mount the distributor at a 45° on the block just behind the timing cover (pc. 3) *PIC*
- I have the insturctions it is just the fan belt has the pully setting up in line with the intake manifold so I thought maybe on a big truck something was different than a car engine. Anyway, I can't find the water pump anywhere in the box. *NM*
- I know the water mounts in front of the timing chain but the fan belts has it setting all the way up in align with the intake manifold. Thr proportions are so off that I thought on a big truck it might be something different. *NM*
- "... traded a mint Strombecker Scarab"... You must really like that little yellow Porsche. *NM*
- Yes, it's some sort of Big-Block Mopar engine. Not very good, really. *NM*
- Thanks *NM*
- Nice work Terry.....that 917 reminds me that I have the Heller 917 red/white striped version that needs finishing....now where did I put it?......lol. *NM*
- Looks good Frank. Looks like someone put "Boots" on your tires, been parking in the red zone again? *NM*
- I've got an old build DB6, the Airfix kit was also released by MPC and my kit has those wonderful MPC/Airfix festering wire wheels.......a new tool or reissued 1/24th would be my choice rather than a 1/43rd DB5 or DB6. *NM*
- Nicely done! *NM*
- Very nice *NM*
- The slope nose Matador was called a 'X-11'......
- I'm surprised you don't have any from days of thunder series. *NM*
