79-80 Trans Am. Really nice, black with gold striping. First-gen Saturn SL1 Tesla S that was either painted or wrapped in a color similar to 65 GM Evening Orchid/Iris Mist.

I went the nearest hobby shop to my home for some Tamiya paint. Got the paint and a Revell 69 GTO kit. Also picked up a few jars of Model Master paint for $1.50 each. Also decided to check the Local Michaels since it is near that hobby shop. All they had in the kit section was a couple of Revell pirate ship kits.

Smith Brothers in Northridge has ordered two for me around the time they were available from Round 2. They said the kits are on backorder from the distributor.

No place out here has been able to get any Demon kits to sell. Distributors are back ordered. No Wal Marts sell model kits (if they did they would probably be in locked cabinets).

I visited the HL in Lake Havasu City a week ago. The kit section looked very familiar.

Fortunately the car's name was easy to read on the back. I also saw a new Hyundai Santa Fe. pretty cool with the new boxy styling.

BMW E30 M3 Fisker Ocean Orange Lamborghini Gallardo.

Nice. Did you get any photos of the 1800ES?

That rear reflector was also used on 68 Montegos and Cyclones.

It's interesting to see the two different rear side reflectors that were used on the 68 Mustangs. Check with Gerry Chevalier. IIRC he makes a 67-68 Mustang Coupe body.

Still waiting for it to show up in my LHS. Wal Marts here don't sell kits. I did get one a while back from a mail order shop.

In downtown LA yesterday: 2023 Aston Martin Vantage. Candy apple red. Yellow Jaguar XK-120 LAPD "tactical" vehicle. I spent some time in LA Union Station while waiting for my brother, who needed to be in court nearby. Very cool place to hang out. It has been maintained very well.

Today I needed some black paint to do a bit of touch up work on a model. The first bottle of black I found was an old round bottle of Pactra enamel that has probably not been opened in over 25 years. It sounded OK when I shook it so I opened it and stirred it for a minute. It mixed well so I went ahead and used it. It worked like new, fresh paint. Probably better.

Fisher Ferrari 312P Berlinetta. This will look good next to my Dragon 312P.
