- Just off of the bench. My first build for 2024. This is just a fantasy idea that I've had for a long time. Petty did have a crash similar to this in 1967. .......... *PICS* .....
- When did people start putting air bags on cars to get them to sit on the ground at car shows? *NM*
- Am I the only one who enjoys the AMT Modified Stockers?
- What is the best way to fill in unwanted panel lines? Like a door panel line for instance.
- Dark side is 48-72, gray side 73-89....that's the way the Randy Ayers site list them. *NM*
- Just saw a post on facebook showing the parts trees for the AMT '60 Ford pickup. They look good. But there seems to be no Engine/trans halves. *NM*
- Anyone know what scale the Airfix QuickBuild kits are? Modern London taxi for one... *NM*
- Wild guess - but - they are from Hornby, packaged and sold thru Airfix so I'm thinking 1/24 for Europe *NM*
- I have the 2023 Airfix catalog, all the Quickbuild kits do not have a scale listed BUT their length is..the Taxi is 179mm, the 68 Mustang 190mm, Audi R8 191mm, Lambo Avent 199mm, Jeep Gladi 213mm, Chiron 189mm,etc, all around 180-210mm so probably/maybe 1/24. *NM*
- I built the Jeep one. It may have been 1/20 - if not then 1/24 -- *PIC*
- I just found my Revell Germany London Taxi, the FX4, 1957 to 1997 style, its 201mm & listed as 1/24th, think its an Aoshima tool, box says "Made in Japan", 2011 release. *NM*
- Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
- Bullitt is on TCM now for subscribers *NM*

- AMT 57 Thunderbird Detailed Review *LINK*
- Matt and Dawn, any idea of when the Demon is due????? *NM*
- I keep forgetting to look at my copy of the book on Petty's race cars (The Cars of the King) to see the various looks he ran in '68. *PIC*
- The link is still good. It's C1 Models, UK, I think. That's where I got it. Worked as advertised, but a bit fickle to handle/assemble, I thought. *NM*
- OT: How's the weather in Chicagoland? Is the storm as bad as the weatherman is saying? *NM*
- BRINGING OUT OF MOTHBALLS.... And Craftsman GTO chassis with headers added. PIX and thanks for looking

- In case anyone is interested, this is how I store my Bare Metal foil......
- Is the MPC Shelby Charger a new re-release? If so, what sort of clamor was there for that? *NM*
- Being impatient, as I am, I couldn't wait for plastic. Ertl has done a 1:25 '47 Studebaker pickup in various livery. Not overly detailed but works for me....PICS
- I see Spotlight has the Pegasus wheels - how are these to mount on a model spindle - axle ? *NM*
- Round2 sure has a lot of kits for release soon. I hope they brought enough for everybody! :-) *PIC*
- Re: If only in 1/25th.
- Re: A little progress on my Model A Vicky....
- I wish Revell had continued their vintage truck series. An early Stude, maybe an International, early Dodge, would all have been great additions. I wish they had done a '35 Ford as well. *NM*
- Thanks to all - we had a two second blackout here, but all is good now. *NM*
- Oh that would be nice! *NM*
- Thanks for the input & info, all!! *NM*
- Turned out well. My Boy Scout Troop leader had a Studebaker pickup of that generation in the '50s. He was a great guy and we all had some great times. Thanks for the memory jolt! *NM*
- Wanted to use F+F vs. G+S - too many spidey senses going off *NM*

- GOT THESE.... In the mail yesterday. Looking like really nice pieces. PIX and thanks for looking
