Niko, just a curiosity question for you. Since the 409 was also noted as a W head, and you live in Finland, where I doubt a whole lot of 409's wound up, is that still how you came up with your nic? Have to ask, since I am a big 409 fan myself!

Have bought a few of Ed's product's. Top notch and very reasonable turnaround time. Matter of fact, I need to sell a few kits to buy more of Ed's products!

Dr. I read through the entire subject here, and I have to say, not only is it a great model, but I am glad it did not become a wall ornament! Not only because so many have also had the pleasure of seeing the finished project. Plus it has given me some inspiration to go back to some I have been about ready to turn into either wall bombardments, or firecracker fuel! Alos kind of a bit of irony in that I got to see Donn's first video this past weekend. Have heard about it for years, but never been able to see it until this past weekend! I must have had some kind of evil glint in my eye because my friend said I could not even borrow it!!! LOL Maybe he thinks he might not have gotten it back!! Oh well once back to work both DVD's will be ordered! Can't wait to see your next project!  Oh and by the way, one of my stalled projects was using the same T-Bird but dropping in a street SOHC 427 from the Tarantula and intake from the Monogram Cobra, and the automatic from the Revell T-Bolt, just to keep the comfy cruiser of the original.

In Topic: "portable" modeling kit...grab and go?

I use a Plano 3730 that has adjustable compartments to keep enought tools, glues, a few odds and ends parts, brushes, clamps, etc. Then just grab a kit or two. The reason I like the Plano box is you can drop it and the latches will stay closed! Don't ask how I know this! Even dropped it once and that time I had a bottle of paint in it too. Surpised me that the paint jar didn't break, but maybe I got lucky that one time. But then again the Testors liquid cement jar has never broken either. I have kept the old square jars from years ago because they fit easily in the comprtment. New bottles are too tall, so I just dump them into the old square ones and go. Couple of kits and the boc fit in a plastic bag and easy to carry into the motel.
