  1. Big Scale Dreams has some 3-D printed parts for 1/8 scale . (and other scales). You might try www.rocketfin.com/modelcarslist also. They have other sites listed for big scale models. Be careful though, it's easy to get caught up in that site. LOL Happy modeling Jim
  2. you should look up Chris Chapman on u tube. he has lots of how-to vidios using craft paints. everything from glossy to rusting and weathering
  3. I really like the looks of that JF body and if you want to do weathered wood go back to June of 2014 on this site and look for a post by bplecher55 (how to make plastic look like weathered wood). I think it is a a great how-to.
  4. Thanks for the replies. The work you guys posted is great. I was also trying to do Beswik's car and that's why I was looking for that article. I thought I rembered he said what colors he used. Thanks again for your replies.
  5. I think I remember an article in one of the model magazines about painting the tri-color interior of the '62 Pontiac. I'm sure I have that magazine but it would take me a week or two to find it and I would probably be distracted by another article along the way. Could anyone point me to which magazine and which issue had this article, ( if I'm not making it up in my head). THA
  6. The 2015 catalog that I have list the" B-11 1/25th go cart kit-45 pcs.(from AMT '63 ford P/U KIT)...........$44.00 "
  7. Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland has a small block Ford duel four barrel carbs, intake, and air cleaners for $6.95 ( in their 2014 catalog). I've used one but I can't say that it looks exactly like that one.
  8. Replicas & Miniatures has Holly Blue fuel pumps. Two to a package. Part #-SDR-6001. (2014 price was 1.95)
  9. Forgive me if this has been brought up before. I got the Dec. issue of Model Cars at my lhs yesterday and there were three different places with overprinting on the pages. It looks like printed two different pages on the same page. Most of the words can be read it you try hard but there were some places where the overlap was just too dense. I only checked two magazines so I don't know if they were all like that. I wonder if they will make good on the bad ones.
  10. I'm building another Revell '32 roadster and I'm using Rep & Min's duel 4 barrel induction. I'd like to put fuel lines on it but it doesn't have a fuel pump that I can see. Am I missing something or does it not have any? I checked round 2's '67 mustang and the 289 has a nice looking pump on the front cover, would the 302 in the roadster be the same? TIA
  11. I'm building another '32 roadster and I would like to plumb it a little bit. I don't see a fuel pump on the small block Ford. Would the 289 in the '67 Mustang look like the 302 in the kit? I'm using the duel 4-barrel set-up from Rep & Min. if it makes any difference.
  12. Can anyone confirm that the frame is longer on the C-600 city delivery than is on the stake truck?
  13. Yes Casey, that's the picture that got me started. I've got the trailer and the mustang and the torino. '69 was the only year that Car magazine gave their high proformance award to a team instead of a single car and the C-850 (according to the article) was included in the award. I'm not a contest builder but I like to get things close to what is right. Things like the headers and wheels paint and decals. Also the recently reisued C-600 city delivery truck must have a longer frame than the stake truck because Tim A said that with just a litle repositioning of things like the fuel tanks and widening of the hauler body to fit over the frame, it should be real close. The artical that I read also said that they used '69 BOSS side stripes. So, as I collect parts and information I feel that I'm getting closer to a start.
  14. Thanks A C. I was afraid that would be the answer because I sold my AMT Torino and kept my Revell '70 Torino. I also have the Revell '69 Super CJ Mustang, is that the same as the Mach I ?
  15. I'm, considering replicating the '69/70 Ford drag team with the Ford car hauler. Which kits would require the least modification and/or kit bashing for the cars. I'm sure some of you will say that the hauler was made with the Ford C cab and you would be right. I have the sleeper cab by Hendricks and Tim's great information in the MC magazine.
