Topics I've Started

1937 Ford Panel Deliver Truck Steering Box?

14 April 2013 - 09:24 AM

Ok, so I'm building the Revell 1937 Ford Panel Truck, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how the steering box mounts to the inside of the frame rail. Does anyone have a decent pic of where this goes?

1937 Ford Engine Color

21 March 2013 - 06:39 AM

I just picked up the Revell/Monogram 1937 Ford Delivery Truck, and it seems like a nice kit. The instructions say to paint the engine a "medium green", and a quick Yahoo! search has verified that Ford did indeed paint their engines green in 1937.

Now, my question is, what is a good match for the 1937 Ford Engine Green? The only reference pics I've really been able to find are either pics of engines that some has hot-rodded, or black & white photos. Neither of which are terribly helpful.

International Transtar II Engine

Does anyone know what engine comes in the Ertl International Transtar II COE? It looks like a V8 of some sort, but I can't tell what kind.

Thanks.

Gift from the In-Laws

28 December 2012 - 04:12 PM

Normally I don't expect any plastic or plastic related items for Christmas or my birthday, and I'm ok with that. That way I get what I want, and I don't get any really off the wall stuff that I'll never build. So, I was pleasantly surprised when my in-laws gave me this:

Granted, this is something that I probably wouldn't have purchased myself, and I am actually looking forward to the build. Not sure when yet, though. Has anyone ever built this kit? Can anyone tell me anything about the actual vehicle? The Itlaeri Website has it listed in the 1950-1990 era, but I'm guessing that it closer to 1990. I am planning on building it as a Vigili del Fuoco truck as IVECO is an Italian company.

Just thought I'd pass along a little bit of my Christmas suprise to all.

AMT 1966 Ford Mustang

03 November 2012 - 03:08 AM

Ok, so I don't usually build cars, I'm more into heavy trucks; but I've always liked the 1965 Ford Mustang. I purchased the AMT 1966 Ford Mustang a while back with the intention of building it someday. Well, someday might be coming sooner rather than later. So, not being a "car guy", I have some questions: what is the best way to detail out the engine? Is the Model Car Garage P/E set worth the investment? What details are missing from the kit that can be added?

My intent is to build is "factory stock". I'm not going to slam it, or rod it, or anything like that.

I've already check the "Car Kit Reviews" section for information on the kit itself.

Thanks in advance for the help.
