  1. Past hour
  2. Nice build, very well detailed and right for the time period.
  3. Yes thatโ€™s it. Thank you so much buddy!
  4. I believe so. The new AMT kit of the CO 4070A is based on the original ERTL release, and as they didn't have the tooling wich was altered to the CO 4070B Transtar II back in 1976 they scanned the old kit and made new and improved ones.
  5. Today
  6. To err is human Bill. But I do agree with your last post sentiments. Been there. Done that etc. Usually diligent and think things through first. Only myself to blame !
  7. Nice build my..Welcome back to the modeling world..Sometimes it takes getting away from this to get your juices going again..The pandemic did it for me..I have this kit and didn't really think about it until I saw your build..You gave me some incentive to do something with mine..Again really nice job on your build.
  8. Interesting to see a military fire truck. Nice model.
  9. These look great! I totally apprecite tht you scratch built them. Much respect, for that!
  10. More or less that same one, actually. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-24143-amg-mercedes--122891
  11. Nice fab work, and the paint is looking killer! I love the color.
  12. Looks great! It looks like you could put a splash of nitro in the tank and she'll fire right up. Now if only someone would make a modern day Top Fuel and Funny Car kit.
  13. Wow outstanding work looks fantastic!! What a great old kit save!
  14. Outstanding work!! Love it !!
  15. I'm ready to read it when you write it, Sir! Your Knowledge of this historic car is breathtaking.
  16. Very nice indeed ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ
  17. Well, I happen to have the following in the stash (unbuilt) so I could do a check out of what may or may not fit. What pieces are you specifically looking for? BTW, the MPC is in my To Sell stash
  18. You pretend you can only have one. What would it be? For me it's the '72 Porsche 911S coupe. I could live with one every day and never get tired of it.
  19. My 32 Tudor build id under glass so got to do some work over the weekend. I colour sanded 3200 through to 8000g during the week taking my time and leaving it to sit and gas out some more between grit sizes. The Tamiya acrylic takes a while to harden and the wait time between paint and sanding of about 3-4 weeks was worth it Got some shine on it over the weekend and some work on minor stuff Thanks for looking
  20. Kidding or not, you're correct - I'm happily single.
  21. Seconds later it bursts into flames and burns for a week releasing all kinds of delicious toxins and heavy metals into the ecosphere...all while saving the planet.
  22. Thank you Michael!
  23. Looking good James. I mixed a similar colour mix for my 32 coupe build and the finish off the gun was very flat. Even flatter than yours. I had to pour the clear to get it to shine but it did in the end Like the colour matched plug leads too
  24. Not sure if anyone's interested but I found my original chassis drawings in my Cheetah folder. I drew it to scale, 1/24, and laid the framework on it for the build. Dave B
  25. Hello, We all know these AMT kits have some "fit issues" to put it mildly. The radiators are thick and I will only have one chance at mating the rear bodywork to the car in this curbside project. To play it safe I made aluminum impressions of the radiators. This one is torn but you get the idea. A black wash, glue them in place, ...and you have radiators with lower chances of interference. But most importantly, will disguise all the empty space. Thanks, Ismael
