OK - the movie starred a Caine and an Angel, along with Harry Mudd and Winnie the Pooh.

^^^Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

My take: A thing of beauty ruined by bureaucracy and bungled greed, a young man beaten to death by thugs, and a collector intent on showing off how much he can spend to keep the sad remains out of another collector's hands. Pretty much a downer all the way around. YMMV.

Well, I went ahead and did it; used one light coat and it seemed to work as I hoped, sparkle toned down and no little bits coming loose as I took off the BMF I used to mask the console.

I just did the carpet for the '65 Nova with embossing powder; I thought it might be a good idea to spray on some Dullcote to seal it and knock down the sparkle a bit. Do any of you seal the powder?

So we hopefully get some surfboards (and maybe even a rack?) with the wagon kit, but I bet still no correct taillights - and is the Coke machine a pre-painted diecast again, or the one from the garage accessories kit?

Mopar must have kept them for the high-end cars - my '50 Plymouth had accessory turn signals; not even wired into the parking/tail lights but with separate lamps:

The jetliner is a drawing, not a photograph. I'd like to think it was bumped during pasteup... I remember seeing a similar Dauphine in '68 when I was in third grade - it was sunk into someone's backyard as a plaything for their kids. And I'm building the Hubley one for some strange reason.

#1 I'd swear is Lindberg - one of their hot rod kits; the channeled '32 pickup?

My brother had the privilege of meeting Jamie Lee - he said she had a handshake like a vise! Ron, you need a hint? OK. "Honey Dew".

Steve, I still have that extra Moebius '61 body, floor and frame you gave me years ago to compare to the AMT Bonneville - if it'll help I'll send it back (you could use it to extend a second Moebius chassis).

Thanks Gary and Matt! What year does the kit depict? This is the one I want to build: IMCDb lists it as a '65 with an earlier short nose. Ferrari experts please chime in...?

Anyone have a good shot of the decal sheet? Looks like some dash or emblem decals?
